In this work, we formulate two controllability maximization problems for large-scale networked dynamical systems such as brain networks: The first problem is a sparsity constraint optimization problem with a box constraint. The second…
Though switched dynamical systems have shown great utility in modeling a variety of physical phenomena, the construction of an optimal control of such systems has proven difficult since it demands some type of optimal mode scheduling. In…
In this work, we propose a control scheme for linear systems subject to pointwise in time state and input constraints that aims to minimize time-varying and a priori unknown cost functions. The proposed controller is based on online convex…
In this paper, online convex optimization is applied to the problem of controlling linear dynamical systems. An algorithm similar to online gradient descent, which can handle time-varying and unknown cost functions, is proposed. Then,…
Feedback optimization is an increasingly popular control paradigm to optimize dynamical systems, accounting for control objectives that concern the system operation at steady-state. Existing feedback optimization techniques heavily rely on…

Selecting appropriate inputs for systems described by complex networks is an important but difficult problem that largely remains open in the field of control of networks. Recent work has proposed two methods for energy efficient input…
