Stochastic approximation is a foundation for many algorithms found in machine learning and optimization. It is in general slow to converge: the mean square error vanishes as $O(n^{-1})$. A deterministic counterpart known as quasi-stochastic…

We present a method for optimal control with respect to a linear cost function for positive linear systems with coupled input constraints. We show that the optimal cost function and resulting sparse state feedback for these systems can be…
