A direct approach to linear-quadratic stochastic control [PDF]
A direct approach is used to solve some linear-quadratic stochastic control problems for Brownian motion and other noise processes. This direct method does not require solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equations or backward stochastic ...

In this article, a robust decentralized tracking control scheme for a large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation team networked control system (NCS) is proposed to overcome a non-scalable or even infeasible design problem due to high ...

Ranking and Selection as Stochastic Control [PDF]
Under a Bayesian framework, we formulate the fully sequential sampling and selection decision in statistical ranking and selection as a stochastic control problem, and derive the associated Bellman equation. Using value function approximation, we derive an approximately optimal allocation policy.

In this paper we study the optimization of the discrete-time stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ) control problem with conic control constraints on an infinite horizon, considering multiplicative noises. Stochastic control systems can be formulated as Markov

Towards Tensor Representation of Controlled Coupled Markov Chains
For a controlled system of coupled Markov chains, which share common control parameters, a tensor description is proposed. A control optimality condition in the form of a dynamic programming equation is derived in tensor form.

A posteriori error estimation for stochastic static problems [PDF]
To solve stochastic static field problems, a discretization by the Finite Element Method can be used. A system of equations is obtained with the unknowns (scalar potential at nodes for example) being random variables. To solve this stochastic system, the

The authors consider a complicated version of controlled stochastic systems. The time \(t\) is measured continuously. The state of the system is represented by a continuous variable \(x\) and a discrete variable \(n\). Also, the control has two parts, a continuous type control \(v\) that is a measurable stochastic process and a discrete-type (or ...

Deterministic and Stochastic Optimal Control and Inverse Problems
Inverse problems of identifying parameters and initial/boundary conditions in deterministic and stochastic partial differential equations constitute a vibrant and emerging research area that has found numerous applications. A related problem of paramount
