Inverse problems are in many cases solved with optimization techniques. When the underlying model is linear, first-order gradient methods are usually sufficient. With nonlinear models, due to nonconvexity, one must often resort to…

In this paper we discuss an extension of some results obtained by E. Serra and P. Tilli, in [Serra&Tilli '12, Serra&Tilli '16], concerning an original conjecture by E. De Giorgi ([De Giorgi '96, De Giorgi '06]) on a purely minimization…
Local and inter-area oscillations in bulk power systems are typically identified using spatial profiles of poorly damped modes, and they are mitigated via carefully tuned decentralized controllers. In this paper, we employ non-modal tools…
