Neural networks (NNs) have emerged as a state-of-the-art method for modeling nonlinear systems in model predictive control (MPC). However, the robustness of NNs, in terms of sensitivity to small input perturbations, remains a critical…

Effective regularisation of neural networks is essential to combat overfitting due to the large number of parameters involved. We present an empirical analogue to the Lipschitz constant of a feed-forward neural network, which we refer to as…

We consider a reconstruction problem of a reduced stable positive network system with the preservation of the original interconnection structure based on an $H^2$ optimal model reduction problem with constraints. To this end, we define an…

Robustness of neural networks is commonly quantified via local or global Lipschitz constants. However, Lipschitz continuity can be overly coarse or overly restrictive as global robustness measure, failing to capture nuanced, data-dependent…

Lipschitz constants of neural networks allow for guarantees of robustness in image classification, safety in controller design, and generalizability beyond the training data. As calculating Lipschitz constants is NP-hard, techniques for…

We discuss the expressive power of neural networks which use the non-smooth ReLU activation function $\varrho(x) = \max\{0,x\}$ by analyzing the approximation theoretic properties of such networks. The existing results mainly fall into two…

We initiate the study of the inherent tradeoffs between the size of a neural network and its robustness, as measured by its Lipschitz constant. We make a precise conjecture that, for any Lipschitz activation function and for most datasets,…

We consider approximations of 1D Lipschitz functions by deep ReLU networks of a fixed width. We prove that without the assumption of continuous weight selection the uniform approximation error is lower than with this assumption at least by…

Since the control of the Lipschitz constant has a great impact on the training stability, generalization, and robustness of neural networks, the estimation of this value is nowadays a real scientific challenge. In this paper we introduce a…

A crucial property for achieving secure, trustworthy and interpretable deep learning systems is their robustness: small changes to a system's inputs should not result in large changes to its outputs. Mathematically, this means one strives…

Current methods for training robust networks lead to a drop in test accuracy, which has led prior works to posit that a robustness-accuracy tradeoff may be inevitable in deep learning. We take a closer look at this phenomenon and first show…

In recent years, an increasing number of neural network models have included derivatives with respect to inputs in their loss functions, resulting in so-called double backpropagation for first-order optimization. However, so far no general…

The robustness of neural networks to adversarial examples has received great attention due to security implications. Despite various attack approaches to crafting visually imperceptible adversarial examples, little has been developed…

The paper presents a new descent algorithm for locally Lipschitz continuous functions $f:X\to\mathbb{R}$. The selection of a descent direction at some iteration point $x$ combines an approximation of the set-valued gradient of $f$ on a…

In this work, we consider the distributed optimization of non-smooth convex functions using a network of computing units. We investigate this problem under two regularity assumptions: (1) the Lipschitz continuity of the global objective…

This work studies the adversarial robustness of parametric functions composed of a linear predictor and a non-linear representation map. % that satisfies certain stability condition. Our analysis relies on \emph{sparse local Lipschitzness}…

In this paper, we approach the task of determining sensitivity bounds for pose estimation neural networks. This task is particularly challenging as it requires characterizing the sensitivity of 3D rotations. We develop a sensitivity measure…

In this paper, we provide a generalization of the forward-backward splitting algorithm for minimizing the sum of a proper convex lower semicontinuous function and a differentiable convex function whose gradient satisfies a locally…

The subgradient method is one of the most fundamental algorithmic schemes for nonsmooth optimization. The existing complexity and convergence results for this method are mainly derived for Lipschitz continuous objective functions. In this…

We consider the problem of recovering a real-valued $n$-dimensional signal from $m$ phaseless, linear measurements and analyze the amplitude-based non-smooth least squares objective. We establish local convergence of subgradient descent…
