The paper considers the suboptimal H-infinity control problem for a general discrete-time system (whose transfer function matrix is allowed to be improper or polynomial). The parametrization of output feedback controllers is given in a…

We theoretically and experimentally study finite-time optimal control of a colloidal particle steered through a spatially inhomogeneous environment, modeled by a position-dependent energetic cost at the final state. The competition between…

In this paper, we prove a theorem on the rate of convergence for the optimal cost computed using PS methods. It is a first proved convergence rate in the literature of PS optimal control. In addition to the high-order convergence rate, two…

We address modeling and control of a gate access automation system. A model of the mechatronic system is derived and identified. Then an approximate explicit feedback linearization scheme is proposed, which ensures almost linear response…

This paper considers the tracking control problem for an unknown nonlinear system with time-varying bounded disturbance subjected to a prescribed performance and input constraints. When performance and input constraints are specified…

We revisit the problem of stochastic online learning with feedback graphs, with the goal of devising algorithms that are optimal, up to constants, both asymptotically and in finite time. We show that, surprisingly, the notion of optimal…

This paper provides necessary conditions of optimality for optimal control problems with time delays in both state and control variables. Different versions of the necessary conditions cover fixed end-time problems and, under additional…

This paper presents a technique to drive the state of a constrained nonlinear system to a specified target state in finite time, when the system suffers a partial loss in control authority. Our technique builds on a recent method to control…

We study a linear quadratic optimal control problem with stochastic coefficients and a terminal state constraint, which may be in force merely on a set with positive, but not necessarily full probability. Under such a partial terminal…

A discrete time stochastic feedback control system with a noisy communication channel between the sensor and the controller is considered. The sensor has limited memory. At each time, the sensor transmits encoded symbol over the channel and…

We consider the problem of controlling a known linear dynamical system under stochastic noise, adversarially chosen costs, and bandit feedback. Unlike the full feedback setting where the entire cost function is revealed after each decision,…

In this paper we consider a control problem for a Partially Observable Piecewise Deterministic Markov Process of the following type: After the jump of the process the controller receives a noisy signal about the state and the aim is to…

The problem of optimal feedback planning among obstacles in d-dimensional configuration spaces is considered. We present a sampling-based, asymptotically optimal feedback planning method. Our method combines an incremental construction of…

We consider the problem of joint routing and scheduling in queueing networks, where the edge transmission costs are unknown. At each time-slot, the network controller receives noisy observations of transmission costs only for those edges it…

Infinite horizon open loop optimal control problems for semilinear parabolic equations are investigated. The controls are subject to a cost-functional which promotes sparsity in time. The focus is put on deriving first order optimality…

This paper presents an abstraction-refinement method to synthesize control inputs for a discrete-time piecewise linear system. The controlled system behavior satisfies a finite-word linear-time temporal objective while incurring minimal…

Solutions to optimal control problems can be discontinuous, even if all the functionals defining the problem are smooth. This can cause difficulties when numerically computing solutions to these problems. While conventional numerical…

Finding minimal time and establishing the structure of the corresponding optimal controls which can transfer a given initial state of a quantum system into a given target state is a key problem of quantum control. In this work, this problem…

The paper addresses the stabilization of nonlinear systems with semi-quadratic cost: quadratic with respect to controls and nonlinear for state variables. Paper presents the effective new feedback synthesis procedure. The novel feedback…

In this paper, we develop a computationally-efficient approach to minimum-time trajectory optimization using input-output data-based models, to produce an end-to-end data-to-control solution to time-optimal planning/control of dynamic…
