Quantifying and managing uncertainty in piecewise-deterministic Markov processes

E Cartee, A Farah, A Nellis, J Van Hook… - SIAM/ASA Journal on …, 2023 - SIAM
In piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) the state of a finite-dimensional
system evolves continuously, but the evolutive equation may change randomly as a result of …

Optimal path-planning with random breakdowns

M Gee, A Vladimirsky - IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose a model for path-planning based on a single performance metric that accurately
accounts for the potential (spatially inhomogeneous) cost of breakdowns and repairs. These …

Optimal sizing of the sediment replenishment capacity based on robust ergodic control of subordinator-driven dynamics

H Yoshioka, M Tsujimura - Optimization, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
A countermeasure against sediment depletion in rivers is sand replenishment. The cost-
efficient sizing of its capacity is critical for sustainable environmental management. However …

A Scalable Method for Optimal Path Planning on Manifolds via a Hopf-Lax Type Formula

E Huynh, C Parkinson - arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.13346, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of optimal path planning on a manifold which is the image of a
smooth function. Optimal path-planning is of crucial importance for motion planning, image …

Time-optimal paths for simple cars with moving obstacles in the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation

C Parkinson, M Ceccia - 2022 American Control Conference …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the problem of time-optimal path planning for simple nonholonomic vehicles. In
previous similar work, the vehicle has been simplified to a point mass and the obstacles …

Occasionally Observed Piecewise-deterministic Markov Processes

M Gee, A Vladimirsky - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.01335, 2024 - arxiv.org
Piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) are often used to model abrupt
changes in the global environment or capabilities of a controlled system. This is typically …

Surveillance evasion through bayesian reinforcement learning

D Qi, D Bindel, A Vladimirsky - International Conference on …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider a task of surveillance-evading path-planning in a continuous setting. An Evader
strives to escape from a 2D domain while minimizing the risk of detection (and immediate …
