Inverse optimal control (IOC) is an advanced methodological framework that seeks to deduce the underlying cost or reward functions based solely on the observation of optimal behaviour. Traditionally, ...

Optimal control problems are mathematical formulations used to determine control strategies that yield a desired outcome while minimising a prescribed cost function. In many applications, these ...

Abstract: Maintaining economical and ecological optimal conditions in a biomass firing unit is a very complex task, due to the fuel heterogeneity on the one hand, the complex combustion and boiler ...

The seemingly unpredictable, and thereby uncontrollable, dynamics of living organisms have perplexed and fascinated scientists for a long time. While these dynamics can be represented by reaction ...

The natural Hamiltonian function in optimal control is generally not differentiable. However, it is possible to use the theory of generalized gradients (which we discuss as a preliminary) to obtain ...
