  2. Hamiltonian (control theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_(control_theory)

    This definition agrees with that given by the article by Sussmann and Willems. [13] (see p. 39, equation 14). Sussmann and Willems show how the control Hamiltonian can be used in dynamics e.g. for the brachistochrone problem, but do not mention the prior work of Carathéodory on this approach. [14]

  3. Executive functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_functions

    In cognitive science and neuropsychology, executive functions (collectively referred to as executive function and cognitive control) are a set of cognitive processes that support goal-directed behavior, by regulating thoughts and actions through cognitive control, selecting and successfully monitoring actions that facilitate the attainment of chosen objectives.

  4. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero." [2]

  5. Functional fixedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_fixedness

    Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that limits a person to use an object only in the way it is traditionally used. The concept of functional fixedness originated in Gestalt psychology , a movement in psychology that emphasizes holistic processing.

  6. Inhibitory control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhibitory_control

    Inhibitory control, also known as response inhibition, is a cognitive process – and, more specifically, an executive function – that permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and natural, habitual, or dominant behavioral responses to stimuli (a.k.a. prepotent responses) in order to select a more appropriate behavior that is consistent with completing their goals.

  7. Automatic and controlled processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_and_controlled...

    One definition of a controlled process is an intentionally-initiated sequence of cognitive activities. [6] In other words, when attention is required for a task, we are consciously aware and in control. Controlled processes require us to think about situations, evaluate and make decisions. An example would be reading this article.

  8. Muckenhoupt weights - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muckenhoupt_weights

    In mathematics, the class of Muckenhoupt weights A p consists of those weights ω for which the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on L p (dω).Specifically, we consider functions f on R n and their associated maximal functions M( f ) defined as

  9. Optimal control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_control

    An optimal control is a set of differential equations describing the paths of the control variables that minimize the cost function. The optimal control can be derived using Pontryagin's maximum principle (a necessary condition also known as Pontryagin's minimum principle or simply Pontryagin's principle), [ 8 ] or by solving the Hamilton ...
