A trapping region is a compact set that is forward invariant with respect to the dynamics. Existence of a trapping region certifies boundedness of trajectories, and the size of the set provides an estimate of the ultimate bound. Prior work…
Accurately modeling and verifying the correct operation of systems interacting in dynamic environments is challenging. By leveraging parametric uncertainty within the model description, one can relax the requirement to describe exactly the…
In this paper, we present sufficient conditions ensuring that the sum of the image of quadratic functions and the nonnegative orthant is convex. The hidden convexity of the trust-region problem with linear inequality constraints is…
In this paper, we generalize the chance optimization problems and introduce constrained volume optimization where enables us to obtain convex formulation for challenging problems in systems and control. We show that many different problems…
Constrained quasiconvex optimization problems appear in many fields, such as economics, engineering, and management science. In particular, fractional programming, which models ratio indicators such as the profit/cost ratio as fractional…
For general quadratically-constrained quadratic programming (QCQP), we propose a parabolic relaxation described with convex quadratic constraints. An interesting property of the parabolic relaxation is that the original non-convex feasible…
In this paper, we propose some new semidefinite relaxations for a class of nonconvex complex quadratic programming problems, which widely appear in the areas of signal processing and power system. By deriving new valid constraints to the…

We propose a convex optimization procedure for black-box identification of nonlinear state-space models for systems that exhibit stable limit cycles (unforced periodic solutions). It extends the "robust identification error" framework in…
Optimization problems with convex quadratic cost and polyhedral constraints are ubiquitous in signal processing, automatic control and decision-making. We consider here an enlarged problem class that allows to encode logical conditions and…
Quadratic constrained quadratic programming problems often occur in various fields such as engineering practice, management science, and network communication. This article mainly studies a non convex quadratic programming problem with…
To verify the correct operation of systems, engineers need to determine the set of configurations of a dynamical model that are able to safely reach a specified configuration under a control law. Unfortunately, constructing models for…
Estimation of the degree of stability and the bounds of solutions to non-autonomous nonlinear systems present major concerns in numerous applied problems. Yet, current techniques are frequently yield overconservative conditions which are…
We present an algorithm for robust model predictive control with consideration of uncertainty and safety constraints. Our framework considers a nonlinear dynamical system subject to disturbances from an unknown but bounded uncertainty set.…

In this work we study convex relaxations of quadratic optimisation problems over permutation matrices. While existing semidefinite programming approaches can achieve remarkably tight relaxations, they have the strong disadvantage that they…
In this paper, we present an equivalent convex optimization formulation for discrete-time stochastic linear systems subject to linear chance constraints, alongside a tight convex relaxation for quadratic chance constraints. By lifting the…
