Although transmission of a data packet containing sensory information in a networked control system improves the quality of regulation, it has indeed a price from the communication perspective. It is, therefore, rational that such a data…

Policy evaluation is a key process in reinforcement learning. It assesses a given policy using estimation of the corresponding value function. When using a parameterized function to approximate the value, it is common to optimize the set of…
An observer is an estimator of the state of a dynamical system from noisy sensor measurements. The need for observers is ubiquitous, with applications in fields ranging from engineering to biology to economics. The most widely used observer…
