Optimal control theory seeks to determine control strategies that drive dynamical systems to meet performance objectives, while mixed-integer optimisation incorporates both continuous and discrete ...

"We are surrounded by a huge number of systems - biological, technical, economic, which we can influence, which we can control. The task is to do it optimally, for example, reaching the desired point ...

Large companies use a variety of inventory control theories and mathematical formulas to help them optimize the production and storage of many thousands of units of products and to help them minimize ...

A model of optimal diet selection on depletable resources is presented which considers the effects of exploitative competitors on the optimal behavior. In the absence of any competitors, one of three ...

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about autonomous databases, which offer the promise of keeping database systems stable and performant while alleviating much of the tuning and configuration ...

We study Monge's optimal transportation problem, where the cost is given by an optimal control cost. We prove the existence and uniqueness of an optimal map under certain regularity conditions on the ...

(Nanowerk News) It is control that turns scientific knowledge into useful technology – control over aerodynamic processes allows a pilot to land an aircraft, and control over the structure of atomic ...

A new theory of economic decision-making offers an explanation as to why humans, in general, make decisions that are simply adequate, not optimal. A new theory of economic decision-making from Mina ...
