We present an approach for accelerating nonlinear model predictive control. If the current optimal input signal is saturated, also the optimal signals in subsequent time steps often are. We propose to use the open-loop optimal input signals…

Linearized models of power systems are often desirable to formulate tractable control and optimization problems that still reflect real-world physics adequately under various operating conditions. In this paper, we propose an approach that…

This papers shows the convergence of optimal control problems where the constraint function is discretised by a particle method. In particular, we investigate the viscous Burgers equation in the whole space $\mathbb R$ by using…

This paper addresses the problem of solving a class of nonlinear optimal control problems (OCP) with infinite-dimensional linear state constraints involving Riesz-spectral operators. Each instance within this class has time/control…

To create efficient-high performing processes, one must find an optimal design with its corresponding controller that ensures optimal operation in the presence of uncertainty. When comparing different process designs, for the comparison to…

Model predictive control (MPC) is pervasive in research and industry. However, designing the cost function and the constraints of the MPC to maximize closed-loop performance remains an open problem. To achieve optimal tuning, we propose a…

In this work, we investigate a distributed optimal control problem for an extended phase field system of Cahn--Hilliard type which physical context is that of tumor growth dynamics. In a previous contribution, the author has already studied…

We present the conditions under which the time-optimal control problem for a nonlinear non-autonomous linearizable system can be solved by the method of successive approximations, at each step of which a power Markov moment min-problem is…

Elucidating the fitness measures optimized during the evolution of complex biological systems is a major challenge in evolutionary theory. We present experimental evidence and an analytical framework demonstrating how biochemical networks…

We propose a new way of looking at global optimization of off-lattice protein models. We present a dual optimization concept of predicting optimal sequences as well as optimal folds. We validate the utility of the recently introduced…

We propose a novel reformulation of the stochastic optimal control problem as an approximate inference problem, demonstrating, that such a interpretation leads to new practical methods for the original problem. In particular we characterise…

Efficient methods to provide sub-optimal solutions to non-convex optimization problems with knowledge of the solution's sub-optimality would facilitate the widespread application of nonlinear optimal control algorithms. To that end,…

We formulate and analyse an optimal control problem for the coagulation-fragmentation equation, where a scalar, time-dependent control modulates the coagulation rate by multiplying the coagulation kernel. The objective functional consists…

Constraint satisfaction is a critical component in a wide range of engineering applications, including but not limited to safe multi-agent control and economic dispatch in power systems. This study explores violation-free distributed…

We investigate several control strategies for the transport of an excitation along a spin chain. We demonstrate that fast, high fidelity transport can be achieved using protocols designed with differentiable programming. Building on this,…

The problem of resource allocation of nonlinear networked control systems is investigated, where, unlike the well discussed case of triggering for stability, the objective is optimal triggering. An approximate dynamic programming approach…
