Point-to-point fast hand movements, often referred to as ballistic movements, are a class of movements characterized by straight paths and bell-shaped velocity profiles. In this paper we propose a bang-bang optimal control policy that can achieve such movements. This optimal control policy is accomplished by minimizing the L∞ norm of the jerk profile of ballistic movements with known initial po...

In this paper, we study two subjects on internally controlled heat equations with time varying potentials: the attainable subspaces and the bang-bang property for some time optimal control problems. We present some equivalent characterizations on the attainable subspaces, and provide a sufficient conditions to ensure the bang-bang property. Both the above-mentioned characterizations and the suf...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Purpose Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent in up to 50% patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Currently, it remains unclear whether all AF should be systematically screened for SDB, or pre-selection requiring screening can improved. We aimed 1) assess the accuracy STOP-Bang questionnaire as a tool detec...
