Stochastic Approximation And Applications To Networked Systems, Thu Thi Le Nguyen

Wayne State University Dissertations

This dissertation focuses on a class of SA algorithms with applications to networked systems and is based on the published works that have been done jointly during my Ph.D. training. The networked systems are fundamentally characterized by interaction among control, communications, and computing, with applications in a vast array of emerging technologies such as smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, social networks, smart city, to name just a few. Networked systems encounter many environment uncertainties that are inherently stochastic. Besides the aforementioned advantages, the framework of SA can also accommodate multiple random processes and diversified system dynamics, even random and distributed …
