Dynamic optimal asset allocation with optimal stopping
We develop a model of optimal consumption, labor and portfolio choice with endogenous retirement for an individual's life-cycle decisions. Explicit solutions for finite horizon are derived both for an individual with power utility and for an individual with log utility. There are two distinct …

Optimal and on-board near-optimal midcourse guidance
Optimal midcourse guidance is examined for an air-to-air missile featuring boost-coast-sustain propulsion. A vertical plane, point-mass model is studied with load factor as a control variable. Time-range-energy optimal trajectories are computed, open-loop, via the usual necessary conditions and a …

Optimal Constrained Feedback: Computer-Generated Holography using Optimal-Gains
… challenge. In this thesis, I present Optimal Constrained Feedback (OCF), a novel approach to addressing these limitations. This approach was inspired by the observation that many of the constraints inherent in CGH are also present in control theory, suggesting that it might be possible …

Optimal sensor placement
In this thesis we explore the problem of finding optimal sensor/actuator locations to achieve the minimum square error/least effort. The solution for the optimal sensor/actuator is often combinational, this means in order to solve for the solution we have to look at many parameters in the system …

Optimal liquidation strategies
… and length of liquidation horizon on the optimal strategy are investigated. There is little or no existing literature that attempts to model these functions in the South African market. Due to the smaller size of the South African market as well as the number of thinly traded shares …

Optimal tree methods
… much work remains to be done regarding their optimal parameterization and construction. This work examines the parameterization of traditional tree methods as well as the techniques commonly used to accelerate their convergence. The performance of selected, accelerated binomial and trinomial …

Optimal ship routing
… deterministic minimum fuel routing by applying optimal control theory in conjunction with state of the art hydrodynamic and weather forecasting tools. A fictitious trans-Atlantic route is established and the optimal combination of speed and heading is determined, so that fuel consumption is …

Optimal transport strategies
… makes it the most difficult to transport. An optimal sugar concentration is thus expected for which the energy intake rate is maximized. An extensive data set indicates that the sugar concentration that optimizes energy transport depends exclusively on the drinking technique employed. We …

Multi-fidelity Optimal Trajectory Generation: Optimal Experiment Design for Robot Learning
… dynamics. This thesis employs methods from optimal experiment design to address these challenges. By quantifying uncertainty and maximizing information gain, the approach aims to safely and efficiently design the real-world experiments required for accurate constraint modeling. In the first …

Banking and optimal design
… behave during credit cycles and analyzes optimal design in financial markets and other contexts. In the first chapter, I analyze the credit cyclicality of nonbanks. Little is known about non-depository institutions' direct lending behavior, especially to small businesses. Using a novel …

Optimal GENCO bidding strategy
… Market Participants the ability to build optimal bidding strategies based on Microeconomics analysis. Supply Function Equilibrium (SFE) is attractive compared to traditional models. This research identifies a proper SFE model, which can be applied to a multiple period situation. The …

Optimal survival trees ensemble
… this notion, the possibility of selecting optimal survival trees is considered in this work. Initially, a large set of survival trees are grown by the method of random survival forest. Using out-of-bag observations for each corresponding survival tree, the trees grown are ranked in …

Optimal Two-Dimensional Triangulations
… what one could mean by a triangulation that is optimal over all possibilities. The general problem studied in this thesis is the following: given a finite set S of vertices, possibly with some prescribed edges, how can we choose the rest of the edges to obtain an optimal triangulation? For …
