Approximately Optimal Control of Nonlinear Dynamic Stochastic Problems with Learning: The OPTCON Algorithm

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2021
OPTCON is an algorithm for the optimal control of nonlinear stochastic systems which is particularly applicable to economic models. It delivers approximate numerical solutions to optimum control (dynamic optimization) problems with a quadratic objective ...

Stochastic Hybrid Control

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2000
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 ...

Displacement control of integrated ionic polymer-metal composite actuator with stochastic ON/OFF controller

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
An ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuator is an electric driven soft actuator. It is fabricated by chemically plating metal on both surface of an ion-exchange membrane. It is able to be activated by a simple driving circuit and low applied voltage

Optimal Investment and Liability Ratio Policies in a Multidimensional Regime Switching Model

open access: yesRisks, 2017
We consider an insurer who faces an external jump-diffusion risk that is negatively correlated with the capital returns in a multidimensional regime switching model. The insurer selects investment and liability ratio policies continuously to maximize her/

Long-Term Bifurcation and Stochastic Optimal Control of a Triple-Delayed Ebola Virus Model with Vaccination and Quarantine Strategies

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2022
Despite its high mortality rate of approximately 90%, the Ebola virus disease (EVD) has not received enough attention in terms of in-depth research. This illness has been responsible for over 40 years of epidemics throughout Central Africa.

Optimal and Suboptimal Control of a Standard Brownian Motion

open access: yesArchives of Control Sciences, 2016
The problem of optimally controlling a standard Brownian motion until a fixed final time is considered in the case when the final cost function is an even function. Two particular problems are solved explicitly.

Implicit Prioritization of Life Insurance Coverage: A Study of Policyholder Preferences in a Danish Pension Company

open access: yesRisks
This study evaluates the utility derived by policyholders in a Danish pension company, from their life insurance coverages. We quantify the relative importance policyholders assign to their existing coverages versus a hypothetical complete coverage ...
