Model instability and poor prediction of long-term behavior are common problems when modeling dynamical systems using nonlinear "black-box" techniques. Direct optimization of the long-term predictions, often called simulation error…

The gray-box modeling approach, which uses a semi-physical thermal network model, has been widely used in building prediction applications, such as model predictive control (MPC). However, unmeasured disturbances, such as occupants,…

In this paper, we propose a sparsity-promoting feedback control design for stochastic linear systems with multiplicative noise. The objective is to identify a sparse control architecture that optimizes the closed-loop performance while…

In the application of the Expectation Maximization algorithm to identification of dynamical systems, internal states are typically chosen as latent variables, for simplicity. In this work, we propose a different choice of latent variables,…

This thesis is concerned with the rejection of time-varying disturbances in linear model predictive control of discrete-time systems. In the literature, disturbances are widely rejected by using velocity models, disturbance model with…

An aggregate model is a single-zone equivalent of a multi-zone building, and is useful for many purposes, including model based control of large heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. This paper deals with the problem…

The algorithm with compensation of parametric uncertainties, external disturbances and measurement noises for linear time-invariant plants is designed. It is assumed, that the dimension of the noise can be equaled to the state vector…

In this work, a new two-stage identification method based on dynamic programming and sparsity inducing is proposed for switched linear systems. Our method achieves sparsity inducing in the identification of switched linear systems by the…

When optimizing real-time systems, designers often face a challenging problem where the schedulability constraints are non-convex, non-continuous, or lack an analytical form to understand their properties. Although the optimization…

The paper describes the robust algorithm for linear time-invariant plants under parametric uncertainties, external disturbances and high-frequency noises in measurements. The proposed algorithm allows one to reduce the noise impact on the…

This paper introduces new techniques for using convex optimization to fit input-output data to a class of stable nonlinear dynamical models. We present an algorithm that guarantees consistent estimates of models in this class when a small…

We establish a connection between trend filtering and system identification which results in a family of new identification methods for linear, time-varying (LTV) dynamical models based on convex optimization. We demonstrate how the design…

The subspace method is one of the mainstream system identification method of linear systems, and its basic idea is to estimate the system parameter matrices by projecting them into a subspace related to input and output. However, most of…

In this work, we propose an optimization framework for estimating a sparse robust one-dimensional subspace. Our objective is to minimize both the representation error and the penalty, in terms of the l1-norm criterion. Given that the…

This paper investigates closed-loop stability of a linear discrete-time plant subject to bounded disturbances when controlled according to packetized predictive control (PPC) policies. In the considered feedback loop, the controller is…

The inter-temporal consumption flexibility of commercial buildings can be harnessed to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, or to provide ancillary service to the power grid. To do so, a predictive model of the building's thermal…

This paper investigates a method to improve buildings' thermal predictive control performance via online identification and excitation (active learning process) that minimally disrupts normal operations. In previous studies we have…

Discrete-time linear time-varying (LTV) systems form a powerful class of models to approximate complex dynamical systems with nonlinear dynamics for the purpose of analysis, design and control. Motivated by inference of spatio-temporal…

We describe a stochastic, dynamical system capable of inference and learning in a probabilistic latent variable model. The most challenging problem in such models - sampling the posterior distribution over latent variables - is proposed to…

From a mathematical point of view self-organization can be described as patterns to which certain dynamical systems modeling social dynamics tend spontaneously to be attracted. In this paper we explore situations beyond self-organization,…
