A compatibility criterion for optimal control and information aggregation in hierarchical network systems

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract Large swarms often adopt a hierarchical network structure that incorporates information aggregation. Although this approach offers significant advantages in terms of communication efficiency and computational complexity, it can also lead to degradation due to information constraints.

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...

Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

Multiparameter Perturbation Solution of Algebraic Equations

open access: yes, 1966
The classical perturbation method—the expansion of a solution of an algebraic equation as a power series in a parameter—is extended to an expansion in several parameters. An example concerning the Timoshenko beam equation is used to illustrate the ideas.

On structural controllability in complex networks with periodic switching topologies

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates the structural controllability of complex networks with periodic switching topologies. First, several graph transformations that preserve structural controllability are demonstrated. Based on the n‐walk theory, a criterion is derived that determines structural controllability by analyzing only the joint graph within a ...

Applications of the Discrete Adjoint Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The discrete adjoint method allows efficient evaluation of the derivative of a function I(s) with respect to parameters s in situations where I depends on s indirectly, via an intermediate variable w(s), which is computationally expensive to evaluate. In

Young people's occupational aspirations beyond the aspiration discourse: A sociocultural perspective

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Young people's aspirations have been the focus of many educational, sociological and psychological studies. This paper argues, firstly, that the concept of aspirations holds greater generative potential than suggested by the policy‐oriented ‘aspiration discourse’.

Improving the learning experience in an undergraduate course on microbial metabolism by using an illustrated story

open access: yesBiochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 131-141, March/April 2025.
Abstract In the classroom, metabolism is often approached and received as a mundane exercise in memorization. Teaching metabolism also faces the challenge of negative perceptions that can impede learning. We sought to improve the learning experience in an undergraduate lecture course on microbial metabolism by implementing an illustrated story that ...

A Numerical Algorithm to find Soft-Constrained Nash Equilibria in Scalar LQ-Games

open access: yes
In this paper we provide a numerical algorithm to calculate all soft-constrained Nash equilibria in a regular scalar indefinite linear-quadratic game.The algorithm is based on the calculation of the eigenstructure of a certain matrix.The analysis follows

Algebraic solution of models with a quick thrust by means of a computer algebraic system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Quick thrusts or pushes do appear in a number of engineering situations which are usually modeled by means of delta generalizad functions. Some of these may be properly manipulated with computer algebraic systems such as Mathematica.
