This section demonstrates and validates the proposed distributed multi-agent area coverage control reinforcement learning algorithm (MAACC-RL) via numerical simulations. The approximate/adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm implemented for MAACC-RL uses a recursive least-squares solution. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MAACC algorithm, a MATLAB simulation is conducted on a group of five agents placed on a 2D convex workspace Ω⊂R^2 with its boundary vertices at (1.0,0.05)…

During the war against the Soviet Union, the Germans faced considerable resistance from the Soviet Partisans.

When the Germans invaded, there were Partisan bands already in place however they still lacked strength due to Stalin’s purges. In January 1941, the partisans numbered around 30,000, and…
Math was first put into practice by industry leaders, George Dantzig and Harold Kuhn, in the 1950’s. Business Mathematics is important in everyday life because not only does it help companies and organizations record and manage business related operations but it is also helpful for companies and organizations to make data driven decisions that ultimately relate to logistics, supply chains and warehousing. Business math differs from other types of math’s because it consists of more advanced…

Joseph Stalin’s Industrialization of the Country, 1928, represents his all-encompassing sweeping push to reform The Soviet Union into a country that would have the technological and industrial capabilities to play a large role in the international affairs of the world. As it occurred through some periods of Russia’s history, starting with Peter the Great’s push for urbanization, Stalin desired to transform the USSR from a “backwater” nation into a force that could be on-par with some of the most…
