We show that the stochastic Schrodinger equation for the filtered state of a system, with linear free dynamics, undergoing continual non-demolition measurement or either position or momentum, or both together, can be solved explicitly…

In many learning based control methodologies, learning the unknown dynamic model precedes the control phase, while the aim is to control the system such that it remains in some safe region of the state space. In this work, our aim is to…

We study online optimization problems in which the cost function depends on latent, time-varying parameters that are unmeasurable and governed by unknown dynamics. Specifically, we consider a strongly convex cost function whose linear term…

We study a controlled version of the Bayesian sequential testing problem for the drift of a Wiener process, in which the observer exercises discretion over the signal intensity. This control incurs a running cost that reflects the resource…
