Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of a Low-Thrust Asteroid Orbit Insertion Using Electric Propulsion

This paper presents a multidisciplinary design optimization framework using OpenMDAO and Dymos that simultaneously optimizes low-thrust trajectories and spacecraft power systems for asteroid orbit insertion, explicitly coupling variable-specific impulse Hall thruster performance with time-varying solar power availability to overcome the limitations of traditional simplifying assumptions.

The Evolution of Eco-routing under Population Growth: Evidence from Six U.S. Cities

This study analyzes the long-term effectiveness of eco-routing under population growth in six U.S. cities, revealing that while emissions scale superlinearly with population and eco-routing creates carbon bottlenecks, targeted capacity expansion on these critical links significantly reduces both emissions and travel time without compromising routing efficiency.

Learning Approximate Nash Equilibria in Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning via Mean-Field Subsampling

This paper proposes an alternating learning framework for cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning under communication constraints, where a global agent observes only a subset of local agents, and proves that this approach converges to an approximate Nash equilibrium with improved sample complexity compared to methods operating on the full joint state space.
