In this paper, we consider optimal control problems derived by stochastic systems with delay, where control domains are non-convex and the diffusion coefficients depend on control variables. By an estimate of the integral of…

This work introduces a stochastic model predictive control scheme for dynamic chance constraints. We consider linear discrete-time systems affected by unbounded additive stochastic disturbance. To synthesize an optimal controller, we solve…

We consider optimal control problems involving two constraint sets: one comprised of linear ordinary differential equations with the initial and terminal states specified and the other defined by the control variables constrained by simple…

Conditions are established under which the optimal control of processes having both absolutely continuous and singular (with respect to time) controls are equivalent to linear programs over a space of measures on the state and control…

In this work, we consider optimality conditions of an optimal control problem governed by an obstacle problem. Here, we focus on introducing a, matrix valued, control variable as the coefficients of the obstacle problem. As it is well…

In this paper, we consider robust control using randomized algorithms. We extend the existing order statistics distribution theory to the general case in which the distribution of population is not assumed to be continuous and the order…

Efficiently computing the optimal control policy concerning a complicated future with stochastic disturbance has always been a challenge. The predicted stochastic future disturbance can be represented by a scenario tree, but solving the…

We present safe control of partially-observed linear time-varying systems in the presence of unknown and unpredictable process and measurement noise. We introduce a control algorithm that minimizes dynamic regret, i.e., that minimizes the…

This work studies the design of safe control policies for large-scale non-linear systems operating in uncertain environments. In such a case, the robust control framework is a principled approach to safety that aims to maximize the…

In this paper, we propose a class of discrete-time approximation schemes for stochastic optimal control problems under the $G$-expectation framework. The proposed schemes are constructed recursively based on piecewise constant policy. We…

Solving optimal control problems to determine a stabilizing controller involves a significant computational effort. Time-varying optimal control provides a remedy by designing a tracking system, given as an ordinary differential equation,…

Constraint tightening to non-conservatively guarantee recursive feasibility and stability in Stochastic Model Predictive Control is addressed. Stability and feasibility requirements are considered separately, highlighting the difference…

Distributionally robust control is a well-studied framework for optimal decision making under uncertainty, with the objective of minimizing an expected cost function over control actions, assuming the most adverse probability distribution…

This paper presents a method to approximately solve stochastic optimal control problems in which the cost function and the system dynamics are polynomial. For stochastic systems with polynomial dynamics, the moments of the state can be…

We consider the decentralized control of a discrete-time time-varying linear system subject to additive disturbances and polyhedral constraints on the state and input trajectories. The underlying system is composed of a finite collection of…

In this paper, we consider the notion of resilience of a dynamical system, defined by the maximum disturbance a controlled dynamical system can withstand while satisfying given temporal logic specifications. Given a dynamical system and a…

In this paper, we study some control problems that derive from time optimal control of coupled spin dynamics in NMR spectroscopy and quantum information and computation. Time optimal control helps to minimize relaxation losses. The ability…

Deep learning methods have demonstrated significant potential for addressing complex nonlinear control problems. For real-world safety-critical tasks, however, it is crucial to provide formal stability guarantees for the designed…

Most modern control systems are switched, meaning they have continuous as well as discrete decision variables. Switched systems often have constraints called dwell-time constraints (e.g., cycling constraints in a heat pump) on the switching…

As a main step in the numerical solution of control problems in continuous time, the controlled process is approximated by sequences of controlled Markov chains, thus discretising time and space. A new feature in this context is to allow…
