Model Predictive Control (MPC) is widely used to achieve performance objectives, while enforcing operational and safety constraints. Despite its high performance, MPC often demands significant computational resources, making it challenging…
This paper provides an exponential stability result for the adaptive anti-unwinding attitude tracking control problem of a rigid body with uncertain but constant inertia parameters, without requiring the satisfaction of persistent…
Extremum seeking control (ESC) are optimization algorithms in continuous time, with model-based ESCs using true derivative information of the cost function and model-free ESCs utilizing perturbation-based estimates instead. Stability…
Despite the extensive literature on training loss functions, the evaluation of generalization on the validation set remains underexplored. In this work, we conduct a systematic empirical and statistical study of how the validation criterion…
The desire to use reinforcement learning in safety-critical settings has inspired a recent interest in formal methods for learning algorithms. Existing formal methods for learning and optimization primarily consider the problem of…
We consider the model checking problem for Gap-order Constraint Systems (GCS) w.r.t. the branching-time temporal logic CTL, and in particular its fragments EG and EF. GCS are nondeterministic infinitely branching processes described by…
In this article, we introduce and study a one sided tempered stable first order autoregressive model called TAR(1). Under the assumption of stationarity of the model, the marginal probability density function of the error term is found. It…
We focus on the problem of adding fault-tolerance to an existing concurrent protocol in the presence of {\em unchangeable environment actions}. Such unchangeable actions occur in practice due to several reasons. One instance includes the…
A robust fixed-lag smoothing approach is proposed in the case there is a mismatch between the nominal model and the actual model. The resulting robust smoother is characterized by a dynamic game between two players: one player selects the…
As a means to balance the growth of the AI industry with the need for privacy protection, machine unlearning plays a crucial role in realizing the ``right to be forgotten'' in artificial intelligence. This technique enables AI systems to…
We develop a complete analysis of a general entry-exit-scrapping model. In particular, we consider an investment project that operates within a random environment and yields a payoff rate that is a function of a stochastic economic…
This paper is concerned with the output feedback exponential stabilization for a flexible beam with tip mass. When there is no disturbance, it is shown that only one non-collocated measurement is enough to exponentially stabilize the…
This paper presents stability and accuracy analysis of a high-order explicit time stepping scheme introduced by \cite[Section 2.2]{Buvoli2019}, which exhibits superior stability compared to classical Adams-Bashforth. A conjecture that is…
Stabilization of a coupled system consisting of a parabolic partial differential equation and an elliptic partial differential equation is considered. Even in the situation when the parabolic equation is exponentially stable on its own, the…
Self-stabilization ensures that, after any transient fault, the system recovers in a finite time and eventually exhibits a correct behaviour. Speculation consists in guaranteeing that the system satisfies its requirements for any execution…
In software engineering, deep learning models are increasingly deployed for critical tasks such as bug detection and code review. However, overfitting remains a challenge that affects the quality, reliability, and trustworthiness of…
Understanding why students stopout will help in understanding how students learn in MOOCs. In this report, part of a 3 unit compendium, we describe how we build accurate predictive models of MOOC student stopout. We document a scalable,…
Federated learning (FL), as an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) approach, enables decentralized model training across multiple devices without exposing their local training data. FL has been increasingly gaining popularity in both…
This paper studies the valuation of a class of default swaps with the embedded option to switch to a different premium and notional principal anytime prior to a credit event. These are early exercisable contracts that give the protection…
In this paper, we address the efficient implementation of moving horizon state estimation of constrained discrete-time linear systems. We propose a novel iteration scheme which employs a proximity-based formulation of the underlying…
