The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
Planning in single-agent models like MDPs and POMDPs can be carried out by resorting to Q-value functions: a (near-) optimal Q-value function is computed in a recursive manner by ...
This paper presents a general method to derive tight rates of convergence for numerical approximations in optimal control when we consider variable resolution grids. We study the ...
Decentralized control of a cooperative multi-agent system is the problem faced by multiple decision-makers that share a common set of objectives. The decision-makers may be robots...
— This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by a mobile robot. The SLAM problem is defined as a global optimization problem in which the o...
