Parameter approximate dynamic optimization for PSO systems
— This paper presents a novel swarm approximate dynamic programming method (swarm-ADP) for parameter optimization of PSO systems, from the perspective of optimal control. Based o...

Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...

Analysis and approximation of optimal control problems for first-order elliptic systems in three dimensions
We examine analytical and numerical aspects of optimal control problems for firstorder elliptic systems in three dimensions. The particular setting we use is that of divcurl syste...
