Moment estimators for the parameters of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by compound Poisson processes

Y Wu, J Hu, X Zhang - Discrete Event Dynamic Systems, 2019 - Springer
We develop new estimators for the parameters of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by
compound Poisson processes, which can be considered as a class of stochastic hybrid …

Scheduling multiple agents in a persistent monitoring task using reachability analysis

X Yu, SB Andersson, N Zhou… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the problem of controlling the dynamic state of each of a finite collection of
targets distributed in physical space using a much smaller collection of mobile agents. Each …

Cooperative control for multi-agent persistent monitoring problems

N Zhou - 2019 - search.proquest.com
In persistent monitoring tasks, cooperating mobile agents are used to monitor a dynamically
changing environment that cannot be fully covered by a stationary team of agents. The …
