Discrete-time robust optimal control problems generally take a min-max structure over continuous variable spaces, which can be difficult to solve in practice. In this paper, we extend the class of such problems that can be solved through a…
Regularization robust preconditioners for PDE-constrained optimization problems have been successfully developed. These methods, however, typically assume that observation data is available throughout the entire domain of the state…

We consider the problem of stabilizing PDE-ODE cascade systems in which the input is applied to the PDE system whose output drives the ODE system. We also consider the dual problem of constructing an observer for ODE-PDE cascade systems in…

This paper introduces a framework to study discrete optimization problems which are parametric in the following sense: their constraint matrices correspond to matrices over the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of polynomials in one variable. We…
We consider a stochastic control problem with the assumption that the system is controlled until the state process breaks the fixed barrier. Assuming some general conditions, it is proved that the resulting Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equations…
We consider joint Tikhonov- and Lavrentiev-regularization of control problems with pointwise control- and state-constraints. We derive error estimates for the error which is introduced by the Tikhonov regularization. With the help of this…
In this paper, we study numerical approximations for optimal control of a class of stochastic partial differential equations with partial observations. The system state evolves in a Hilbert space, whereas observations are given in…
Quantum control is traditionally expressed through bilinear models and their associated Lie algebra controllability criteria. But, the first order approximation are not always sufficient and higher order developpements are used in recent…
Rational observers are to be constructed for rational systems while polynomial observers are to be constructed for polynomial systems. An observer synthesis procedure is formulated. First an output-based rational realization is synthesized…
We revisit the problem of computing (robust) controlled invariant sets for discrete-time linear systems. Departing from previous approaches, we consider implicit, rather than explicit, representations for controlled invariant sets.…
We use the elimination theory to explicitly construct the (n-3)! order polynomial in one of the variables of the scattering equations. The answer can be given either in terms of a determinant of Sylvester type of dimension (n-3)! or a…
Statistical linearization has recently seen a particular surge of interest as a numerically cheap method for robust control of stochastic differential equations. Although it has already been successfully applied to control complex…
