Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2021 Butanol is getting attention among the possible biofuels as an alternative to bioethanol. Compared to bioethanol, biobutanol shows less miscibility with water, less flammability and corrosivity, and it has the advantage of being able to directly replace ...

ON THE OPTIMAL OPEN-LOOP CONTROL POLICY FOR DETERMINISTIC AND EXPONENTIAL POLLING SYSTEMS [PDF]
Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 2007 In this article, we consider deterministic (both fluid and discrete) polling systems with N queues with infinite buffers and we show how to compute the best polling sequence (minimizing the average total workload). With two queues, we show that the best polling sequence is always periodic when the system is stable and forms a regular sequence. The

A Policy for Open-Loop Attenuation of Disturbance Effects Caused by Uncertain Ground Properties in Running [PDF]
Proceedings 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2007 Outside of the laboratory, accurate models of ground impact dynamics are either difficult or impossible to obtain. Instead, a rigid ground model is often used in gait and controller design, which simplifies the system model and allows attention to remain focused on other aspects of running.

Open-Loop Equilibria for an LQ-Differential Game of Stabilization Policies
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1987 Abstract In this paper we study a two-person non-cooperative differential game model of the trade-off between unemployment and inflation with the government as player one and the central bank as the second player. Open-loop Nash and Stackelberg equilibrium solutions are derived analytically; it is shown that they do not coincide.

Tractable Open Loop Policies for Joint Overbooking and Capacity Control Over a Single Flight Leg with Multiple Fare Classes [PDF]
Transportation Science, 2012 In this paper, we consider the joint overbooking and capacity control problem over a single flight leg with multiple fare classes. The objective is to maximize the net expected revenue, which is given by the difference between the expected revenue from the accepted requests and the expected penalty cost from the denied reservations.

Reinforcement Learning for UAV Attitude Control [PDF]
, 2018 Autopilot systems are typically composed of an "inner loop" providing stability and control, while an "outer loop" is responsible for mission-level objectives, e.g. way-point navigation.

Endogenous Transportation Technology in a Cournot Differential Game with Intraindustry Trade [PDF]
, 2003 We investigate a dynamic Cournot duopoly with intraindustry trade, where firms invest in R&D to reduce the level of iceberg transportation costs. We adopt both open-loop and closed-loop equilibrium concepts, showing that a unique (saddle point) steady ...

Manipulation of free-floating objects using Faraday flows and deep reinforcement learning
Scientific Reports, 2022 The ability to remotely control a free-floating object through surface flows on a fluid medium can facilitate numerous applications. Current studies on this problem have been limited to uni-directional motion control due to the challenging nature of the ...

Web service and dynamic pricing competition [PDF]
Management Science Letters, 2015 Web services have become quite popular over the last few years as they allow easier development and integration of business applications. In this paper, we consider a web service pricing problem where two providers compete through dynamic pricing.
