AboutAbout the lab
Exploring decision-making and control through mathematics
The Mathematical Planning Lab (Fujisaki Lab) studies mathematical theory and its applications for decision-making, which is about making plans, and control, which is about carrying them out.
The lab works on modeling, analysis, and design of dynamical systems; performance evaluation and guarantees for randomized algorithms; multi-agent systems; data-driven control; and security and privacy.
The lab aims to establish mathematical approaches to decision-making and control as methodologies in engineering and the social sciences.
Key terms
- Robust optimization
- An optimization problem that involves uncertainty. Solving it makes it possible to reach decisions that are not affected by uncertain conditions.
- Randomized algorithm
- A solution method that makes active use of random numbers to compute quickly while guaranteeing the accuracy of the resulting values.
- Dependable control
- Control for properly handling the spread of fluctuations and failures in multilayer networks, such as power grids and information networks.
