This paper proposes an original solution to input saturation and dead zone of fractional order system. To overcome these nonsmooth nonlinearities, the control input is decomposed into two independent parts by introducing an intermediate…
The paper describes a continuous second-variation algorithm to solve optimal control problems where the control is defined on a closed set. A second order expansion of a Lagrangian provides linear updates of the control to construct a…
In this paper, we introduce novel equations that are dual to the ones of the well-known invariant ellipsoids method. These equations yield ellipsoids with newly established geometrical interpretations and connections to linear system norms.…
This work considers Bayesian experimental design for the inverse boundary value problem of linear elasticity in a two-dimensional setting. The aim is to optimize the positions of compactly supported pressure activations on the boundary of…
Although the mean-variance control was initially formulated for financial portfolio management problems in which one wants to maximize expected return and control the risk, our motivations also stem from highway vehicle platoon controls…
The dead-zone nonlinearity is frequently encountered in many industrial automation equipment and its presence can severely compromise control system performance. Due to the possibility to express human experience in an algorithmic manner,…
We present a new model and methods for the posterior drift problem where the regression function in the target domain is modeled as a linear adjustment (on an appropriate scale) of that in the source domain, an idea that inherits the…
Model predictive control is a control approach that minimizes a stage cost over a predicted system trajectory based on a model of the system and is capable of handling state and input constraints. For uncertain models, robust or adaptive…

Conventionally, regression discontinuity analysis contrasts a univariate regression's limits as its independent variable, $R$, approaches a cut-point, $c$, from either side. Alternative methods target the average treatment effect in a small…

We study counterfactual regression, which aims to map input features to outcomes under hypothetical scenarios that differ from those observed in the data. This is particularly useful for decision-making when adapting to sudden shifts in…
Consider the domain of multiclass classification within the adversarial online setting. What is the price of relying on bandit feedback as opposed to full information? To what extent can an adaptive adversary amplify the loss compared to an…
Achieving ultimate bounds in estimation processes is the main objective of quantum metrology. In this context, several problems require measurement of multiple parameters by employing only a limited amount of resources. To this end,…
We formulate the immersed-boundary method (IBM) as an inverse problem. A control variable is introduced on the boundary of a larger domain that encompasses the target domain. The optimal control is the one that minimizes the mismatch…
In this note we address the problem of indirect adaptive (regulation or tracking) control of nonlinear, input affine dissipative systems. It is assumed that the supply rate, the storage and the internal dissipation functions may be…
Dual control addresses the trade-off between exploitation and exploration, where control inputs both regulate the system and generate informative data for estimation and identification. For certain problem classes, control and estimation…
This paper studies optimal control under the average-reward/cost criterion for deterministic linear systems. We derive the value function and optimal policy, and propose an approximate solution using Model Predictive Control to enable…
Performance of adaptive control policies is assessed through the regret with respect to the optimal regulator, which reflects the increase in the operating cost due to uncertainty about the dynamics parameters. However, available results in…
