Optimal Control of Variational Inequalities [PDF]
Communications in Information and Systems, 2010 We consider control problems for the variational inequality describing a single degree of freedom elasto-plastic oscillator. We are particularly interested in finding the "critical excitation", i.e., the lowest energy input excitation that drives the system between the prescribed initial and final states within a given time span.

Relative Variational Intrinsic Control
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021 In the absence of external rewards, agents can still learn useful behaviors by identifying and mastering a set of diverse skills within their environment. Existing skill learning methods use mutual information objectives to incentivize each skill to be diverse and distinguishable from the rest.

Control Variates for Probability and Quantile Estimation [PDF]
, 1997 In stochastic systems, quantiles indicate the level of system performance that can be delivered with a specified probability, while probabilities indicate the likelihood that a specified level of system performance can be achieved.
