Optimal control theory provides a mathematical framework for determining control strategies that optimise the performance of dynamic systems. In many practical settings, systems display abrupt changes ...

Optimal control theory for differential equations is a pivotal discipline that combines rigorous mathematical analysis with practical applications in engineering, economics, and the natural sciences.

A model of optimal diet selection on depletable resources is presented which considers the effects of exploitative competitors on the optimal behavior. In the absence of any competitors, one of three ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The behavior of the extremal curves in optimal control theory is much more complex than that of their namesakes in the classical calculus of ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a modern feedback law that generates the control signal by solving an optimal control problem at each sampling time. This approach is capable of maximizing a certain ...

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about autonomous databases, which offer the promise of keeping database systems stable and performant while alleviating much of the tuning and configuration ...

Joint research led by Sosuke Ito of the University of Tokyo has shown that nonequilibrium thermodynamics, a branch of physics that deals with constantly changing systems, explains why optimal ...
