Occupation measures and linear matrix inequality (LMI) relax-ations (called the moment sums of squares or Lasserre hierarchy) have been used previously as a means for solving control law verification and validation (VV) problems. However,…

In the 1960s, a moment approach to linear time varying (LTV) minimal norm impulsive optimal control was developed, as an alternative to direct approaches (based on discretization of the equations of motion and linear programming) or…

With the potential to find global solutions, significant research interest has focused on convex relaxations of the non-convex OPF problem. Recently, "moment-based" relaxations from the Lasserre hierarchy for polynomial optimization have…

We describe a new temporal verification framework for safety and robustness analysis of nonlinear control laws, our target application being a space launcher vehicle. Robustness analysis, formulated as a nonconvex nonlinear optimization…

This manuscript focuses on the $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ observer design for a class of nonlinear discrete systems under the presence of measurement noise or external disturbances. Two new Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) conditions are developed…

This paper presents a linear programming approach for the optimal control of nonlinear switched systems where the control is the switching sequence. This is done by introducing modal occupation measures, which allow to relax the problem as…

This paper shows how to find lower bounds on, and sometimes solve globally, a large class of nonlinear optimal control problems with impulsive controls using semi-definite programming (SDP). This is done by relaxing an optimal control…

This paper presents a new framework for controller robustness verification with respect to F-16 aircraft's closed-loop performance in longitudinal flight. We compare the state regulation performance of a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and…

Given linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) L_1 and L_2, it is natural to ask: (Q1) when does one dominate the other, that is, does L_1(X) PsD imply L_2(X) PsD? (Q2) when do they have the same solution set? Such questions can be NP-hard. This…

The Lasserre or moment-sum-of-square hierarchy of linear matrix inequality relaxations is used to compute inner approximations of the maximal positively invariant set for continuous-time dynamical systems with polynomial vector fields.…

This paper proposes a new Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) for static output feedback control assuming that a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) has been previously designed for the system. The main idea is to use a quadratic candidate Lyapunov…

Matrix ellipsoids provide a standard framework for representing bounded uncertainties in data-driven control. Since noise models for sequential observations are naturally represented as the Minkowski sum of multiple matrix ellipsoids,…

We introduce a new algorithm to solve a regularized spatial-spectral image estimation problem. Our approach is based on the linearized alternating directions method of multipliers (LADMM), which is a variation of the popular ADMM algorithm.…

Modelling and simulating mine countermeasures search missions performed by autonomous vehicles equipped with a sensor capable of detecting mines at sea is a challenging endeavour. The output of our stochastic optimal control implementation…

Bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) problems in system and control designs are investigated in this paper. A solution method of reduction of variables (MRVs) is proposed. This method consists of a principle of variable classification, a…

Multivariate analysis of fMRI data has benefited substantially from advances in machine learning. Most recently, a range of probabilistic latent variable models applied to fMRI data have been successful in a variety of tasks, including…

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently emerged as an efficient alternative to classical Navier-Stokes solvers. This is particularly true for hemodynamics in complex geometries. However, in its most basic formulation, {i.e.} with…

This work addresses the occupation measure relaxation of calculus of variations problems, which is an infinite-dimensional linear programming relaxation amenable to numerical approximation by a hierarchy of semidefinite optimization…

In this paper, we present a novel approach to the low rank matrix recovery (LRMR) problem by casting it as a group sparsity problem. Specifically, we propose a flexible group sparse regularizer (FLGSR) that can group any number of matrix…

We study the problem of robust matrix completion (RMC), where the partially observed entries of an underlying low-rank matrix is corrupted by sparse noise. Existing analysis of the non-convex methods for this problem either requires the…
