Nonlinear Feedback and Stochastic Control in Translation
… Regulation can occur at any of these stages to control protein production. In most cases, regulation primarily targets the initiation stage. Another direct mechanism to ensure accurate protein level in the cell is to regulate the stability of mRNA.<br/>Using mathematical modelling, in this …

Stochastic Control, Optimal Saving, and Job Search in Continuous Time
… uncertain variables are here modeled as stochastic processes that each obey a specific stochastic differential equation, where uncertainty stems either from Poisson or Lévy processes. The results on the optimal behavior are derived by maximizing the individual expected lifetime utility. …

On A Multi-Dimensional Singular Stochastic Control Problem: The Parabolic Case
<p>This dissertation considers a stochastic dynamic system which is governed by a multidimensional diffusion process with time dependent coefficients. The control acts additively on the state of the system. The objective is to minimize the expected cumulative cost associated with the position of …

Data analytics for stochastic control and prognostics in cyber-physical systems
… are considered both in system model and controller design. A PDF identifier is proposed to capture the time-varying delays and its distribution. With the modification of traditional stochastic optimal control using PDF of delays, the assumption of full knowledge of network imperfection in …

Practical applications of large-scale stochastic control for learning and optimization
… explores a variety of techniques for large-scale stochastic control. These range from simple heuristics that are motivated by the problem structure and are amenable to analysis, to more general deep reinforcement learning (RL) which applies to broader classes of problems but is trickier to reason …

On some Two-Dimensional Singular Stochastic Control Problems and their Free-Boundary Analysis
… thesis, we investigate two-dimensional singular stochastic control problems motivated by different applications in economics and finance. The main interest is to characterize the optimal control in the problems, and in particular to characterize the corresponding free-boundaries. We investigate …

On some stochastic control models and related free-boundary problems in insurance mathematics
This thesis investigates stochastic control models arising in insurance mathematics. From a mathematical point of view, the models presented in Chapters 2-4 can be formulated as stochastic control-stopping problems, while the model considered in Chapter 5 is a singular stochastic control problem. …

Model-based robust and stochastic control, and statistical inference for uncertain dynamical systems
… develops various methods for the robust and stochastic model-based control of uncertain dynamical systems. Several different types of uncertainties are considered, as well as different mathematical formalisms for quantification of the effects of uncertainties in dynamical systems. For …
