The Law School held its annual Coase Lecture on February 10, drawing students, faculty, and other guests into a packed auditorium for a tradition that began in 1992. This year’s lecture, titled, “What ...

Imagine trying to design a key for a lock that is constantly changing its shape. That is the exact challenge we face in ...

Optimization problems often involve situations in which the user's goal is to minimize and/or maximize not a single objective function, but several, usually conflicting, functions simultaneously. Such ...

In this paper we study necessary optimality conditions for the problem of minimizing a polynomial function over a set defined by polynomial inequalities. Assume that the problem is bounded below and ...

Abstract: In this work, we analyze the applicability of Inverse Dynamic Game (IDG) methods based on the Minimum Principle (MP). The IDG method determines unknown cost functions in a single- or ...

Investigators rely on particle characterization methods to gain a deeper understanding of key properties that influence both the manufacturing process and the quality of the final product. As ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel dynamic programming approach to determine the robust controllability of Boolean control networks (BCNs) subject to stochastic disturbances. By applying ...

In “The Family Dynamic,” Susan Dominus examines what makes some families “exceptional.” By Ezekiel J. Emanuel Ezekiel J. Emanuel is an oncologist, vice provost and university professor at the ...

Genomics is playing an important role in transforming healthcare. Genetic data, however, is being produced at a rate that far outpaces Moore’s Law. Many efforts have been made to accelerate genomics ...

This project implements a Dynamic Programming (DP) solution for optimal inventory control, inspired by fundamental principles in Dimitri Bertsekas's work on "Lessons from AlphaZero for Optimal, Model ...
