In this paper, we introduce a model of dynamical queue, in which the service time depends on the server utilization history. The proposed queueing model is motivated by widely accepted empirical laws describing human performance as a function of mental arousal. The objective of this paper is to design task release control policies that can stabilize the queue for the maximum possible arrival rate, assuming deterministic arrivals. First, we prove an upper bound on the maximum possible stabilizable arrival rate for any task release control policy. Then, we propose a simple threshold policy that releases a task to the server only if its state is below a certain fixed value. Finally, we prove that this task release control policy ensures stability of the queue for the maximum possible arrival rate.

In this paper, we study a stock-rationing queue with two demand classes by means of the sensitivity-based optimization, and develop a complete algebraic solution to the optimal dynamic rationing policy. We show that the optimal dynamic rationing poli
cy must be of transformational threshold type. Based on this finding, we can refine three sufficient conditions under each of which the optimal dynamic rationing policy is of threshold type (i.e., critical rationing level). To do this, we use the performance difference equation to characterize the monotonicity and optimality of the long-run average profit of this system, and thus establish some new structural properties of the optimal dynamic rationing policy by observing any given reference policy. Finally, we use numerical experiments to demonstrate our theoretical results of the optimal dynamic rationing policy. We believe that the methodology and results developed in this paper can shed light on the study of stock-rationing queues and open a series of potentially promising research.
Policy iteration is a widely used technique to solve the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman (HJB) equation, which arises from nonlinear optimal feedback control theory. Its convergence analysis has attracted much attention in the unconstrained case. Here we ana
lyze the case with control constraints both for the HJB equations which arise in deterministic and in stochastic control cases. The linear equations in each iteration step are solved by an implicit upwind scheme. Numerical examples are conducted to solve the HJB equation with control constraints and comparisons are shown with the unconstrained cases.
In this article we consider the ergodic risk-sensitive control problem for a large class of multidimensional controlled diffusions on the whole space. We study the minimization and maximization problems under either a blanket stability hypothesis, or
a near-monotone assumption on the running cost. We establish the convergence of the policy improvement algorithm for these models. We also present a more general result concerning the region of attraction of the equilibrium of the algorithm.
A multi-class single-server system with general service time distributions is studied in a moderate deviation heavy traffic regime. In the scaling limit, an optimal control problem associated with the model is shown to be governed by a differential g
ame that can be explicitly solved. While the characterization of the limit by a differential game is akin to results at the large deviation scale, the analysis of the problem is closely related to the much studied area of control in heavy traffic at the diffusion scale.
Model-free learning-based control methods have seen great success recently. However, such methods typically suffer from poor sample complexity and limited convergence guarantees. This is in sharp contrast to classical model-based control, which has a
rich theory but typically requires strong modeling assumptions. In this paper, we combine the two approaches to achieve the best of both worlds. We consider a dynamical system with both linear and non-linear components and develop a novel approach to use the linear model to define a warm start for a model-free, policy gradient method. We show this hybrid approach outperforms the model-based controller while avoiding the convergence issues associated with model-free approaches via both numerical experiments and theoretical analyses, in which we derive sufficient conditions on the non-linear component such that our approach is guaranteed to converge to the (nearly) global optimal controller.
