We propose a novel Thompson sampling algorithm that learns linear quadratic regulators (LQR) with a Bayesian regret bound of $O(\sqrt{T})$. Our method leverages Langevin dynamics with a carefully designed preconditioner and incorporates a…

The risk-neutral LQR controller is optimal for stochastic linear dynamical systems. However, the classical optimal controller performs inefficiently in the presence of low-probability yet statistically significant (risky) events. The…

The quadratic optimal state feedback (LQR) is one of the most popular designs for linear systems and succeeds via the solution of the algebraic Riccati equation. The situation is different in the case of non-linear systems: the Riccati…

A typical bottleneck of model predictive control algorithms is the computational burden in order to compute the receding horizon feedback law which is predominantly determined by the length of the prediction horizon. Based on a relaxed…

This article explores the discrete-time stochastic optimal LQR control with delay and quadratic constraints. The inclusion of delay, compared to delay-free optimal LQR control with quadratic constraints, significantly increases the…

We propose a computationally efficient algorithm that achieves anytime regret of order $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{t})$, with explicit dependence on the system dimensions and on the solution of the Discrete Algebraic Riccati Equation (DARE). Our…

We propose a novel Rayleigh quotient based sparse quadratic dimension reduction method - named QUADRO (Quadratic Dimension Reduction via Rayleigh Optimization) - for analyzing high- dimensional data. Unlike in the linear setting where…

We propose a data-driven receding-horizon control method dealing with the chance-constrained output-tracking problem of unknown stochastic linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with partial state observation. The proposed method takes into…

Rerandomization is an experimental design technique that repeatedly randomizes treatment assignments until covariates are balanced between treatment groups. Rerandomization in the design stage of an experiment can lead to many asymptotic…

This work is on constrained large-scale non-convex optimization where the constraint set implies a manifold structure. Solving such problems is important in a multitude of fundamental machine learning tasks. Recent advances on Riemannian…

The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) framework considers the problem of regulating a linear dynamical system perturbed by environmental noise. We compute the policy regret between three distinct control policies: i) the optimal online…

We study the quadratic regulator problem on a finite time horizon for the wave equation with high internal damping controlled on the boundary by square integrable controls. The approach in this paper transforms the wave equation with high…

This paper addresses the optimal control problem known as the Linear Quadratic Regulator in the case when the dynamics are unknown. We propose a multi-stage procedure, called Coarse-ID control, that estimates a model from a few experimental…

The Residual Quantization (RQ) framework is revisited where the quantization distortion is being successively reduced in multi-layers. Inspired by the reverse-water-filling paradigm in rate-distortion theory, an efficient regularization on…

Quotient regularization models (QRMs) are a class of powerful regularization techniques that have gained considerable attention in recent years, due to their ability to handle complex and highly nonlinear data sets. However, the nonconvex…

This work addresses the problem of risk-sensitive control for nonlinear systems with imperfect state observations, extending results for the linear case. In particular, we derive an algorithm that can compute local solutions with…

We present an approach to identify a quasi Linear Parameter Varying (qLPV) model of a plant, with the qLPV model guaranteed to admit a robust control invariant (RCI) set. It builds upon the concurrent synthesis framework presented in [1],…

This paper is concerned with a linear quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problem with fixed terminal states and integral quadratic constraints. A Riccati equation with infinite terminal value is introduced, which is uniquely solvable…

A finite horizon linear quadratic(LQ) optimal control problem is studied for a class of discrete-time linear fractional systems (LFSs) affected by multiplicative, independent random perturbations. Based on the dynamic programming technique,…

This paper studies the finite-horizon linear quadratic regulation problem where the dynamics of the system are assumed to be unknown and the state is accessible. Information on the system is given by a finite set of input-state data, where…
