A Hardware Efficient Random Number Generator for Nonuniform Distributions with Arbitrary Precision

open access: yesInternational Journal of Reconfigurable Computing, 2012
Nonuniform random numbers are key for many technical applications, and designing efficient hardware implementations of non-uniform random number generators is a very active research field.

Maximum principle for a stochastic delayed system involving terminal state constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We investigate a stochastic optimal control problem where the controlled system is depicted as a stochastic differential delayed equation; however, at the terminal time, the state is constrained in a convex set.

Compositional abstractions of interconnected discrete-time stochastic control systems [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2017
This paper is concerned with a compositional approach for constructing abstractions of interconnected discrete-time stochastic control systems. The abstraction framework is based on new notions of so-called stochastic simulation functions, using which ...

Abstractions of stochastic hybrid systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Many control systems have large, infinite state space that can not be easily abstracted. One method to analyse and verify these systems is reachability analysis. It is frequently used for air traffic control and power plants.

A mean-field stochastic control problem with partial observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper we are interested in a new type of {\it mean-field}, non-Markovian stochastic control problems with partial observations. More precisely, we assume that the coefficients of the controlled dynamics depend not only on the paths of the state ...

Towards scalable synthesis of stochastic control systems [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete event dynamic systems, 2016
Formal synthesis approaches over stochastic systems have received significant attention in the past few years, in view of their ability to provide provably correct controllers for complex logical specifications in an automated fashion.

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

Linearly Solvable Stochastic Control Lyapunov Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper presents a new method for synthesizing stochastic control Lyapunov functions for a class of nonlinear stochastic control systems. The technique relies on a transformation of the classical nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential ...

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/
