Understanding particle swarms through simplification: a study of recombinant PSO
Simplified forms of the particle swarm algorithm are very beneficial in contributing to understanding of what makes a PSO swarm function in the way that it does. One of these form...

The explicit linear quadratic regulator for constrained systems
For discrete-time linear time invariant systems with constraints on inputs and states, we develop an algorithm to determine explicitly, the state feedback control law which minimi...
