Action functional stochastic H∞ estimation for nonlinear discrete time systems
(2002)This paper presents an action functional, sample path optimization technique, for formulating and solving nonlinear discrete-time stochastic H∞ estimation problems. These H∞ problems are formulated as minimax dynamic games ...

Centralized Versus Decentralized Optimization of Distributed Stochastic Differential Decision Systems with Different Information Structures-Part I: A General Theory
(2017)Decentralized optimization of distributed stochastic dynamical systems with two or more controls of the decision makers (DMs) has been an active area of research for over half a century. Although, such decentralized ...

Certain nonlinear partially observable stochastic optimal control problems with explicit control laws equivalent to LEQG/LQG problems
(1997)This paper is concerned with partially observed stochastic optimal control problems when nonlinearities enter the dynamics of the unobservable state and the observations as gradients of potential functions. Explicit ...

Characterization of the Optimal Disturbance Attenuation for Nonlinear Stochastic Uncertain Systems
(2003)This paper is concerned with an abstract formulation of stochastic optimal control systems, in which uncertainty is described by a relative entropy constraint between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, while ...

Classes of nonlinear partially observable stochastic optimal control problems with explicit optimal control laws
(1998)This paper introduces certain nonlinear partially observable stochastic optimal control problems which are equivalent to completely observable control problems with finite-dimensional state space. In some cases the optimal ...

Convex design control for practical nonlinear systems
(2014)This paper describes a new control scheme for approximately optimal control (AOC) of nonlinear systems, convex control design (ConvCD). The key idea of ConvCD is to transform the approximate optimal control problem into a ...

Encoder-decoder design for perfect reconstruction: A robust control perspective
(2005)In this paper we consider the transmission of discrete data via a communication channel that is subject to (additive) noise with a known upper bound on its magnitude but otherwise completely unknown. We are interested in ...

Examples of optimal control for nonlinear stochastic control problems with partial information
(IEEE, 1995)Partially observable stochastic optimal control problems are considered. It is shown, via an information state approach and dynamic programming, that several classes of nonlinear systems with non-linearities in the dynamics ...

Finite-time disturbance attenuation control problem for singularly perturbed discrete-time systems
(1998)In this paper we consider the problem of finite-time H∞-optimal control of linear, singularly perturbed, discrete-time systems. The problem is addressed from the game theoretic approach. This leads to a singularly perturbed, ...
