The purpose of this paper is to describe a new gradient method for maximizing general functions. After a brief discussion of various known gradient methods the mathematical foundation is laid for the ...

This essay is based on the assumption that a long-neglected topic of socialization, the determinants of individual differences in parental functioning, is illuminated by research on the etiology of ...

This article presents a mathematical formulation to perform temporal parallelization of continuous-time optimal control problems, which can be solved via the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation. We ...

The optimal control input policy for the deterministic version (no stochastic disturbances) is first provided and shown to be the sum of linear state feedback and path-dependent components, as for the ...
