Constrained model predictive control: Stability and optimality

by D. Q. Mayne, J. B. Rawlings, C. V. Rao, P. O. M. Scokaert - AUTOMATICA , 2000
"... Model predictive control is a form of control in which the current control action is obtained by solving, at each sampling instant, a finite horizon open-loop optimal control problem, using the current state of the plant as the initial state; the optimization yields an optimal control sequence and t ..."

A Note on the Confinement Problem

by Butler W. Lampson , 1973
"... This not explores the problem of confining a program during its execution so that it cannot transmit information to any other program except its caller. A set of examples attempts to stake out the boundaries of the problem. Necessary conditions for a solution are stated and informally justified. ..."

The Nonstochastic Multiarmed Bandit Problem

by Peter Auer, Nicolo Cesa-bianchi, Yoav Freund, Robert E. Schapire - SIAM JOURNAL OF COMPUTING , 2002
"... In the multiarmed bandit problem, a gambler must decide which arm of K non-identical slot machines to play in a sequence of trials so as to maximize his reward. This classical problem has received much attention because of the simple model it provides of the trade-off between exploration (trying out ..."

of the process generating the payoffs of the slot machines. We give a solution to the bandit problem in which an adversary, rather than a well-behaved stochastic process, has complete control over the payoffs. In a sequence of T plays, we prove that the per-round payoff of our algorithm approaches

A Framework for Uplink Power Control in Cellular Radio Systems

by Roy D. Yates - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications , 1996
"... In cellular wireless communication systems, transmitted power is regulated to provide each user an acceptable connection by limiting the interference caused by other users. Several models have been considered including: (1) fixed base station assignment where the assignment of users to base stations ..."
Abstract - Cited by 636 (18 self) - Add to MetaCart
power control problem can be reduced to finding a vector p of users' transmitter powers satisfying p I(p) where the jth constraint p j I j (p) describes the interference that user j must overcome to achieve an acceptable connection. This work unifies results found for these systems

Separation of ownership and control

by Eugene F. Fama, Michael C. Jensen - JOURNAL OF LAW AND ECONOMICS , 1983
"... This paper analyzes the survival of organizations in which decision agents do not bear a major share of the wealth effects of their decisions. This is what the literature on large corporations calls separation of “ownership” and “control.” Such separation of decision and risk bearing functio ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1564 (7 self) - Add to MetaCart
because of an effective common approach to controlling the implied agency problems. In particular, the contract structures of all these organizations separate the ratification and monitoring of decisions from the initiation and implementation of the decisions.

Implications of rational inattention

by Christopher A. Sims - JOURNAL OF MONETARY ECONOMICS , 2002
"... A constraint that actions can depend on observations only through a communication channel with finite Shannon capacity is shown to be able to play a role very similar to that of a signal extraction problem or an adjustment cost in standard control problems. The resulting theory looks enough like fa ..."

On optimistic methods for concurrency control

by H. T. Kung, John T. Robinson - ACM Transactions on Database Systems , 1981
"... Most current approaches to concurrency control in database systems rely on locking of data objects as a control mechanism. In this paper, two families of nonlocking concurrency controls are presented. The methods used are “optimistic ” in the sense that they rely mainly on transaction backup as a co ..."

Multivariable Feedback Control: Analysis

Cognitive load during problem solving: effects on learning

by John Sweller - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1988
"... Considerable evidence indicates that domain specific knowledge in the form of schemes is the primary factor distinguishing experts from novices in problem-solving skill. Evidence that conventional problem-solving activity is not effective in schema acquisition is also accumulating. It is suggested t ..."
