Optimization and Improvement of Gas Spring Design in An Energy Storing Prosthetic Knee
International Journal of Technology, 2015 In this research, an optimization and improvement of gas spring design is discussed. The gas spring is used as a suspension component of an energy storing prosthetic knee. The gas spring replaces the quadricep muscles of transfemoral amputee.

Stochastic Variational Optimization
CoRR, 2018 Variational Optimization forms a differentiable upper bound on an objective. We show that approaches such as Natural Evolution Strategies and Gaussian Perturbation, are special cases of Variational Optimization in which the expectations are approximated by Gaussian sampling.

Optimization of stochastic systems [PDF]
Proceedings of the 18th conference on Winter simulation - WSC '86, 1986 This paper gives a short survey of Monte Carlo algorithms for stochastic optimization. Both discrete and continuous parameter stochastic optimization are discussed, with emphasis on the analysis of convergence rate. Some future research directions for the area are also indicated.

Optimal Stochastic Enhancement of Photoionization [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2007 The effect of noise on the nonlinear photoionization of an atom due to a femtosecond pulse is investigated in the framework of the stochastic Schrödinger equation. A modest amount of white noise results in an enhancement of the net ionization yield by several orders of magnitude, giving rise to a form of quantum stochastic resonance.

Optimization with Stochastic Dominance Constraints [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2003 The paper refers to a model regarding the investment of a number of capital assets in order to obtain under the random returns of assets some desirable characteristics of the total return on the investment. The model is a stochastic optimization problem involving stochastic dominance constraints.

The optimality of (stochastic) veto delegation
Games and Economic Behavior, 2023 We analyze the optimal delegation problem between a principal and an agent, assuming that the latter has state-independent preferences. We demonstrate that if the principal is more risk-averse than the agent toward non-status quo options, an optimal mechanism is a {\em veto mechanism}. In a veto mechanism, the principal uses veto (i.e., maintaining the
