This paper shows how to obtain highly accurate solutions of eighth-order boundary-value problems of linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The presented method is based on the Theory of Functional Connections, and is solved…
This paper looks to apply the mathematical framework of the Theory of Functional Connections to the solution of boundary-value problems arising from hybrid systems. The Theory of Functional Connections is a technique to derive constrained…
The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is a functional interpolation framework founded upon the so-called constrained expression: a functional that expresses the family of all possible functions that satisfy some user-specified, linear…
This article presents a reformulation of the Theory of Functional Connections: a general methodology for functional interpolation that can embed a set of user-specified linear constraints. The reformulation presented in this paper exploits…
The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is a general methodology for functional interpolation that can embed a set of user-specified linear constraints. The functionals derived from this method, called \emph{constrained expressions},…
This study introduces a procedure to obtain general expressions, $y = f(x)$, subject to linear constraints on the function and its derivatives defined at specified values. These constrained expressions can be used describe functions with…
In this paper we investigate how standard nonlinear programming algorithms can be used to solve constrained optimization problems in a distributed manner. The optimization setup consists of a set of agents interacting through a…
The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is most often used for constraints over the field of real numbers. However, previous works have shown that it actually extends to arbitrary fields. The evidence for these claims is restricting…
In this paper we present a new approach to solve the fuel-efficient powered descent guidance problem on large planetary bodies with no atmosphere (e.g. the Moon or Mars) using the recently developed Theory of Functional Connections. The…
The classical method to solve a quadratic optimization problem with nonlinear equality constraints is to solve the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions using Newton's method. This approach however is usually computationally…
This paper extends the univariate Theory of Connections, introduced in (Mortari,2017), to the multivariate case on rectangular domains with detailed attention to the bivariate case. In particular, it generalizes the bivariate Coons surface,…
A numerical approach to solve the perturbed Lambert's problem is presented. The proposed technique uses the Theory of Functional Connections, which allows the derivation of a constrained functional that analytically satisfies the boundary…
A computationally efficient method to solve non-convex programming problems with linear equality constraints is presented. The proposed method is based on a recursively feasible and descending sequential convex programming procedure proven…
Constrained optimization problems appear in a wide variety of challenging real-world problems, where constraints often capture the physics of the underlying system. Classic methods for solving these problems rely on iterative algorithms…
In this paper, the compact linearization approach originally proposed for binary quadratic programs with assignment constraints is generalized to such programs with arbitrary linear equations and inequalities that have positive coefficients…
We develop a decomposition method based on the augmented Lagrangian framework to solve a broad family of semidefinite programming problems, possibly with nonlinear objective functions, nonsmooth regularization, and general linear…
Nonlinear programming is explicitly analyzed via a novel perspective/method and from a bottom-up manner. The philosophy is based on the recent findings on convex quadratic equation (CQE), which help clarify a geometric interpretation that…
This paper explores a new class of constrained difference programming problems, where the objective and constraints are formulated as differences of functions, without requiring their convexity. To investigate such problems, novel variants…
This article presents a new methodology called deep Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) that estimates the solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) by combining neural networks with TFC. TFC is used to transform PDEs with…
In this paper the simplicial cone constrained convex quadratic programming problem is studied. The optimality conditions of this problem consist in a linear complementarity problem. This fact, under a suitable condition, leads to an…
