The Lifted Newton Method and Its Application in Optimization
Abstract. We present a new “lifting” approach for the solution of nonlinear optimization problems (NLPs) that have objective and constraint functions with intermediate variable...

Consistent Approximations and Approximate Functions and Gradients in Optimal Control
As shown in [7], optimal control problems with either ODE or PDE dynamics can be solved efficiently using a setting of consistent approximations obtained by numerical discretizati...

A stochastic approximation method with max-norm projections and its applications to the Q-learning algorithm
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...

Q-learning and enhanced policy iteration in discounted dynamic programming
We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...

An Efficient Linear Method for the Estimation of Ego-Motion from Optical Flow
Abstract. Approaches to visual navigation, e.g. used in robotics, require computationally efficient, numerically stable, and robust methods for the estimation of ego-motion. One of...
