Abstract: This article presents a sensitivity-based algorithm for distributed optimal control problems (OCP) of multi-agent systems with nonlinear dynamics and state/input couplings, as they arise, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the bias-policy iteration, a modified adaptive dynamic programming method, to achieve optimal control design of discrete-time nonlinear systems. Firstly, the formulation ...

For many older homeowners living on fixed incomes, keeping up with the cost of homeownership can be a challenge — especially when major repairs are needed. For Dawn Effendi, whose family has lived in ...

Key Takeaway: The USPTO’s new PIER Pilot Program requires applicants in selected PCT national stage applications to affirmatively decide whether to proceed with, delay, or abandon U.S. patent ...
