Utilization of noise for the control of a class of non-linear systems is presented. The application of state-multiplicative noise as a mean of control is far more limited then the use of standard determinis?tic gains. Nevertheless, so…
Stochastic averaging problems with Gaussian forcing have been studied thoroughly for many years, but far less attention has been paid to problems where the stochastic forcing has infinite variance, such as an {\alpha}-stable noise forcing.…
Stochastic policies (also known as relaxed controls) are widely used in continuous-time reinforcement learning algorithms. However, executing a stochastic policy and evaluating its performance in a continuous-time environment remain open…
