Distributed optimization enables networked agents to cooperatively solve a global optimization problem even with each participating agent only having access to a local partial view of the objective function. Despite making significant…
In this paper, we address the problem of how a network of agents can collaboratively fit a linear model when each agent only ever has an arbitrary summand of the regression data. This problem generalizes previously studied…

Nonlinear extension of the integral part of a standard proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback control is proposed for perturbed second-order systems. The approach is model-free and requires solely the Lipschitz boundedness of the…
A method for detecting possible non-deterministic dynamics underlying a time series is introduced. Non-deterministic dynamics may arise due to the failure of the Lipschitz condition in the equations of motion. At a singular point, the phase…
In a multi-agent network, we consider the problem of minimizing an objective function that is expressed as the sum of private convex and smooth functions, and a (possibly) non-differentiable convex regularizer. We propose a novel…

In this paper, we introduce a nonlinear distributed model predictive control (DMPC) algorithm, which allows for dissimilar and time-varying control horizons among agents, thereby addressing a common limitation in current DMPC schemes. We…
