Asymptotically Optimal Controls for Time-Inhomogeneous Networks
Abstract. A framework is introduced for the identification of controls for single-class timevarying queueing networks that are asymptotically optimal in the so-called uniform acce...

Distributed dynamic programming for discrete-time stochastic control, and idempotent algorithms
Previously, idempotent methods have been found to be extremely fast for solution of dynamic programming equations associated with deterministic control problems. The original meth...

Open-loop regulation and tracking control based on a genealogical decision tree
The goal of this paper is to design a new control algorithm for open-loop control of complex systems. This control approach is based on a genealogical decision tree for both regula...

An Analysis of Monotone Follower Problems for Diffusion Processes
We consider a singular stochastic control problem, which is called the Monotone Follower Stochastic Control Problem and give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness...

Stability analysis for multi-agent systems using the incidence matrix: Quantized communication and formation control
The spectral properties of the incidence matrix of the communication graph are exploited to provide solutions to two multiagent control problems. In particular, we consider the pr...

Constraint-Based Controller Synthesis in Non-Deterministic and Partially Observable Domains
Controller synthesis consists in automatically building controllers taking as inputs observation data and returning outputs guaranteeing that the controlled system satisfies some d...

Incremental Methods for Computing Bounds in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) allow one to model complex dynamic decision or control problems that include both action outcome uncertainty and imperfect ...

GP+Echo+Subsumption = Improved Problem Solving
Real-time, adaptive control is a difficult problem that can be addressed by EC architectures. We are interested in incorporating into an EC architecture some of the features that ...

The Control of Synchronous Systems
In the synchronous composition of processes, one process may prevent another process from proceeding unless compositions without a wellde ned productbehavior are ruled out. They ca...
