Synthesis of Discrete-Event Controllers Based on the Signal Environment
In this paper, we present the integration of controller synthesis techniques in the SIGNAL environment through the description of a tool dedicated to the incremental construction o...

A descent algorithm for the optimal control of constrained nonlinear switched dynamical systems
One of the oldest problems in the study of dynamical systems is the calculation of an optimal control. Though the determination of a numerical solution for the general nonconvex o...

Optimization and Convergence of Observation Channels in Stochastic Control
This paper studies the optimization of observation channels (stochastic kernels) in partially observed stochastic control problems. In particular, existence, continuity, and convex...

Connections between Singular Control and Optimal Switching
This paper builds a new theoretical connection between singular control of finite variation and optimal switching problems. This correspondence provides a novel method for solving ...

Rank based variation operators for genetic algorithms
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...
