This paper studies the problem of steering a linear time-invariant system subject to state and input constraints towards a goal location that may be inferred only through partial observations. We assume mixed-observable settings, where the…

A robust model predictive control scheme for a class of constrained norm-bounded uncertain discrete-time linear systems is developed under the hypothesis that only partial state measurements are available for feedback. Off-line calculations…

This paper presents a technique for designing output feedback controllers for constrained linear parameter-varying systems that are subject to persistent disturbances. Specifically, we develop an incremental parameter-varying output…

Finding interesting patterns is a challenging task in data mining. Constraint based mining is a well-known approach to this, and one for which constraint programming has been shown to be a well-suited and generic framework. Dominance…

We consider both discrete and continuous control problems constrained by a fixed budget of some resource, which may be renewed upon entering a preferred subset of the state space. In the discrete case, we consider both deterministic and…

This paper introduces the Compliant Explicit Reference Governor (CERG), a modular reference management system that enables robots to interact physically with their environment under provable guarantees. The CERG is an intermediate layer…

Reference tracking systems involve a plant that is stabilized by a local feedback controller and a command center that indicates the reference set-point the plant should follow. Typically, these systems are subject to limitations such as…

This paper studies regularity properties of optimization-based controllers, which are obtained by solving optimization problems where the parameter is the system state and the optimization variable is the input to the system. Under a wide…

In some optimal control problems, complex relationships between states and inputs cannot be easily represented using continuous constraints, necessitating the use of discrete logic instead. This paper presents a method for incorporating…

A method of optimal control computation is proposed for problems with control and state constraints. It uses a sequence of control structure adjustments in the form of generations and reductions of nodes and arcs, which do not change the…

This paper addresses the problem of robust and optimal control for the class of nonlinear quadratic systems subject to norm-bounded parametric uncertainties and disturbances, and in presence of some amplitude constraints on the control…

The Golomb ruler problem is defined as follows: Given a positive integer n, locate n marks on a ruler such that the distance between any two distinct pair of marks are different from each other and the total length of the ruler is…

In this paper, we propose a chance constrained stochastic model predictive control scheme for reference tracking of distributed linear time-invariant systems with additive stochastic uncertainty. The chance constraints are reformulated…

In optimal control theory, infimum gap means that there is a gap between the infimum values of a given minimum problem and an extended problem, obtained by enlarging the set of original solutions and controls. The gap phenomenon is somewhat…

The recently introduced Gradient Methods with Memory use a subset of the past oracle information to create an accurate model of the objective function that enables them to surpass the Gradient Method in practical performance. The model…

In this paper we consider the problem of computing control invariant sets for linear controlled high-dimensional systems with constraints on the input and on the states. Set inclusions conditions for control invariance are presented that…

Higher-dimensional quantum systems, such as qudits, offer architectural and algorithmic advantages over qubits, but their increased spectral crowding and limited controllability render high-fidelity quantum gates particularly challenging.…

In this paper, we consider the problem of multi-objective optimal control of a dynamical system with additive and multiplicative noises with given second moments and arbitrary probability distributions. The objectives are given by quadratic…

Inverse optimization has been increasingly used to estimate unknown parameters in an optimization model based on decision data. We show that such a point estimation is insufficient in a prescriptive setting where the estimated parameters…

Security mandates today are often in the form of checklists and are generally inflexible and slow to adapt to changing threats. This paper introduces an alternate approach called open mandates, which mandate that vendors must dedicate some…
