This doctoral thesis develops new methods for set-based state estimation and active fault diagnosis (AFD) of (i) nonlinear discrete-time systems, (ii) discrete-time nonlinear systems whose trajectories satisfy nonlinear equality constraints…
We propose a matrix zonotope perturbation framework that leverages matrix perturbation theory to characterize how noise-induced distortions alter the dynamics within sets of models. The framework derives interpretable Cai-Zhang bounds for…
The zonotope containment problem, i.e., whether one zonotope is contained in another, is a central problem in control theory. Applications include detecting faults and robustifying controllers by computing invariant sets, and obtain fixed…
This paper studies efficient distributed optimization methods for multi-agent networks. Specifically, we consider a convex optimization problem with a globally coupled linear equality constraint and local polyhedra constraints, and develop…
This work proposes a method for solving linear stochastic optimal control (SOC) problems using sum of squares and semidefinite programming. Previous work had used polynomial optimization to approximate the value function, requiring a high…
Inexact alternating direction multiplier methods (ADMMs) are developed for solving general separable convex optimization problems with a linear constraint and with an objective that is the sum of smooth and nonsmooth terms. The approach…
This paper considers the problem of distributed model fitting using the alternating directions method of multipliers (ADMM). ADMM splits the learning problem into several smaller subproblems, usually by partitioning the data samples. The…
We present a stochastic setting for optimization problems with nonsmooth convex separable objective functions over linear equality constraints. To solve such problems, we propose a stochastic Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers…
In recent years, many estimation problems in robotics have been shown to be solvable to global optimality using their semidefinite relaxations. However, the runtime complexity of off-the-shelf semidefinite programming (SDP) solvers is up to…
Reachability analysis is a powerful tool for computing the set of states or outputs reachable for a system. While previous work has focused on systems described by state-space models, we present the first methods to compute reachable sets…

In this paper we propose an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm for solving a Model Predictive Control (MPC) optimization problem, in which the system has state and input constraints and a nonlinear input map. The…
This paper considers a convex optimization problem with cost and constraints that evolve over time. The function to be minimized is strongly convex and possibly non-differentiable, and variables are coupled through linear constraints. In…
Over-approximating the reachable sets of dynamical systems is a fundamental problem in safety verification and robust control synthesis. The representation of these sets is a key factor that affects the computational complexity and the…

Recently, there has been great interest in connections between continuous-time dynamical systems and optimization methods, notably in the context of accelerated methods for smooth and unconstrained problems. In this paper we extend this…
The past few years have seen immense progress on two fronts that are critical to safe, widespread mobile robot deployment: predicting uncertain motion of multiple agents, and planning robot motion under uncertainty. However, the numerical…

This paper investigates the application of zonotope-based reachability analysis to low-thrust spacecraft in both two-body and cislunar environments. Reachable sets are generated under two-body and circular restricted three-body (CR3BP)…
