Abstract: This paper studies the online dispatch of distribution networks (DNs), which is formulated as a multi-stage dynamic programming (MSDP) to ensure the non-anticipativity of dispatch decisions.

In this paper we study necessary optimality conditions for the problem of minimizing a polynomial function over a set defined by polynomial inequalities. Assume that the problem is bounded below and ...

Abstract: In this work, we analyze the applicability of Inverse Dynamic Game (IDG) methods based on the Minimum Principle (MP). The IDG method determines unknown cost functions in a single- or ...

Investigators rely on particle characterization methods to gain a deeper understanding of key properties that influence both the manufacturing process and the quality of the final product. As ...

Like many young children, Sijbren Otto was fascinated by the history of life and wanted to dig up dinosaurs when he grew up. But life doesn’t always go to plan, and he ended up becoming not a ...

This project implements a Dynamic Programming (DP) solution for optimal inventory control, inspired by fundamental principles in Dimitri Bertsekas's work on "Lessons from AlphaZero for Optimal, Model ...
