Control systems are inevitably affected by external disturbances, and a major objective of the control design is to attenuate or eliminate their adverse effects on the system performance. This paper presents a disturbance rejection approach…

We consider the setting of iterative learning control, or model-based policy learning in the presence of uncertain, time-varying dynamics. In this setting, we propose a new performance metric, planning regret, which replaces the standard…

We introduce a new model for testing graph properties which we call the \emph{rejection sampling model}. We show that testing bipartiteness of $n$-nodes graphs using rejection sampling queries requires complexity $\widetilde{\Omega}(n^2)$.…
