In this paper, we address the so-called general Fokker-Planck control problem for discrete-time first-order linear systems. Unlike conventional treatments, we don't assume the distributions of the system states to be Gaussian. Instead, we…

In many biological systems, chemical reactions or changes in a physical state are assumed to occur instantaneously. For describing the dynamics of those systems, Markov models that require exponentially distributed inter-event times have…
The Fokker-Planck equations describe time evolution of probability densities of stochastic dynamical systems and are thus widely used to quantify random phenomena such as uncertainty propagation. For dynamical systems driven by non-Gaussian…
