In the paper, we generalize the approach Gasnikov et. al, 2017, which allows to solve (stochastic) convex optimization problems with an inexact gradient-free oracle, to the convex-concave saddle-point problem. The proposed approach works,…

Learning the inverse dynamics of soft continuum robots remains challenging due to high-dimensional nonlinearities and complex actuation coupling. Conventional feedback-based controllers often suffer from control chattering due to corrective…

In the Optimal Velocity Model proposed as a new version of Car Following Model, it has been found that a congested flow is generated spontaneously from a homogeneous flow for a certain range of the traffic density. A well-established…

This paper proposes novel gradient-flow schemes that yield convergence to the optimal point of a convex optimization problem within a \textit{fixed} time from any given initial condition for unconstrained optimization, constrained…

In this paper, a novel convexification approach for Small-Signal Stability Constraint Optimal Power Flow (SSSC-OPF) has been presented that does not rely on eigenvalue analysis. The proposed methodology is based on the sufficient condition…

Recent work has exposed the vulnerability of computer vision models to vector field attacks. Due to the widespread usage of such models in safety-critical applications, it is crucial to quantify their robustness against such spatial…

We show how to compute real space renormalization group flows in lattice field theory by a self-consistent method. In each step, the integration over the fluctuation field (high frequency components of the field) is performed by a saddle…

The study of passive scalar transport in a turbulent velocity field leads naturally to the notion of generalized flows which are families of probability distributions on the space of solutions to the associated ODEs, which no longer satisfy…

We consider strongly-convex-strongly-concave saddle point problems assuming we have access to unbiased stochastic estimates of the gradients. We propose a stochastic accelerated primal-dual (SAPD) algorithm and show that SAPD sequence,…

This paper develops certificates that propagate compatibility of multiple control barrier function (CBF) constraints from sampled vertices to their convex hull. Under mild concavity and affinity assumptions, we present three sufficient…

This paper concerns a new class of discontinuous dynamical systems for constrained optimization. These dynamics are particularly suited to solve nonlinear, non-convex problems in closed-loop with a physical system. Such approaches using…

In this paper, we consider the minimization of a $C^2-$smooth and strongly convex objective depending on a given parameter, which is usually found in many practical applications. We suppose that we desire to solve the problem with some…

We introduce action-driven flows for causal variational principles, being a class of non-convex variational problems emanating from applications in fundamental physics. In the compact setting, H\"older continuous curves of measures are…

In this paper, we develop a nonparametric system identification method for the nonlinear gradient-flow dynamics. In these systems, the vector field is the gradient field of a potential energy function. This fundamental fact about the…

We develop a second order primal-dual method for optimization problems in which the objective function is given by the sum of a strongly convex twice differentiable term and a possibly nondifferentiable convex regularizer. After introducing…

In this paper, we investigate a class of constrained saddle point (SP) problems where the objective function is nonconvex-concave and smooth. This class of problems has wide applicability in machine learning, including robust multi-class…

This paper studies equality-constrained minimization problems through the lens of feedback control. We introduce a unified control-theoretic framework by showing that a PID feedback law acting on the dual variable induces the PID…

We demonstrate that the primal-dual witness proof method may be used to establish variable selection consistency and $\ell_\infty$-bounds for sparse regression problems, even when the loss function and/or regularizer are nonconvex. Using…

This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the theoretical properties inherent in the Adaptive Lasso and the Transfer Lasso. The Adaptive Lasso, a well-established method, employs regularization divided by initial estimators and is…

We introduce Time-Conditioned Contraction Matching (TCCM), a novel method for semi-supervised anomaly detection in tabular data. TCCM is inspired by flow matching, a recent generative modeling framework that learns velocity fields between…
