Optimal control problems naturally arise in many scientific applications where one wishes to steer a dynamical system from a certain initial state $\mathbf{x}_0$ to a desired target state $\mathbf{x}^*$ in finite time $T$.

To solve such optimization problems, inventory managers need to decide what quantities to order from each supplier, given the net inventory and outstanding orders, so that the expected backlogging, holding, and sourcing costs are jointly minimized.

Although optimal control problems of dynamical systems can be formulated within the framework of variational calculus, their solution for complex systems is often analytically and computationally intractable.

We study the ability of neural networks to calculate feedback control signals that steer trajectories of continuous time non-linear dynamical systems on graphs, which we represent with neural ordinary differential equations (neural ODEs).

In a so-called overpopulated world, sustainable consumption is of existential importance. However, the expanding spectrum of product choices and their production complexity challenge consumers to make informed and value-sensitive decisions.
