Zhou, Y. (author)Globalized dual heuristic programming (GDHP) is the most comprehensive adaptive critic design, which employs its critic to minimize the error with respect to both the cost-to-go and its derivatives simultaneously. Its implementation, however, confronts a dilemma of either introducing more computational load by explicitly calculating the...journal article 2022

Schultz, Ryan (author), Muntendam-Bos, A.G. (author), Zhou, W. (author), Beroza, Gregory C. (author), Ellsworth, William L. (author)Prospects for geothermal energy in the Netherlands have renewed concerns around induced earthquakes. Risks from induced earthquakes are managed by traffic light protocols (TLPs), where the red-light is chosen as the stop-point before exceeding a tolerance to risk. Here, we simulate post-shut-in earthquake scenarios based on realistic...journal article 2022
