For example, a Gauss–Newton-based decomposition algorithm has been proposed to approximate solutions of challenging mixed-integer optimal control problems by decomposing the original task into a ...

Optimal control techniques are used to develop optimal strategies for chemotherapy. In particular, we investigate the qualitative differences between three different cell-kill models: log kill ...

A model of optimal diet selection on depletable resources is presented which considers the effects of exploitative competitors on the optimal behavior. In the absence of any competitors, one of three ...

Joint research led by Sosuke Ito of the University of Tokyo has shown that nonequilibrium thermodynamics, a branch of physics that deals with constantly changing systems, explains why optimal ...
