Numerical methods for the optimization of nonlinear stochastic delay systems, and an application to internet regulation
The Markov chain approximation method is an effective and widely used approach for computing optimal values and controls for stochastic systems. It was extended to nonlinear (and p...

Structural Operational Semantics for Weighted Transition Systems
Weighted transition systems are defined, parametrized by a commutative monoid of weights. These systems are further understood as coalgebras for functors of a specific form. A gene...

Dwell-time controllers for stochastic systems with switching Markov chain
We study the problem of feedback stabilization of a family of nonlinear stochastic systems with switching mechanism modeled by a Markov chain. We introduce a novel notion of stabi...

Stability analysis and stabilization control of multi-variable switched stochastic systems
In this paper, the mean square (MS) stability and exponential mean square (EMS) stability of multi-variable switched stochastic systems are investigated. Based on the concept of t...

How Synchronisation Strategy Approximation in PEPA Implementations Affects Passage Time Performance Results
Passage time densities are useful performance measurements in stochastic systems. With them the modeller can extract probabilistic quality-of-service guarantees such as: the proba...

Extended Directed Search for Probabilistic Timed Reachability
Current numerical model checkers for stochastic systems can efficiently analyse stochastic models. However, the fact that they are unable to provide debugging information constrain...

Model Checking Discounted Temporal Properties
Temporal logic is two-valued: formulas are interpreted as either true or false. When applied to the analysis of stochastic systems, or systems with imprecise formal models, tempor...

General duality between optimal control and estimation
— Optimal control and estimation are dual in the LQG setting, as Kalman discovered, however this duality has proven difficult to extend beyond LQG. Here we obtain a more natural...
