This work presents a novel reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm based on Y-wise Affine Neural Networks (YANNs). YANNs provide an interpretable neural network which can exactly represent known piecewise affine functions of arbitrary input…

Piecewise affine neural networks (PANNs) provide a principled geometric perspective on neural network expressivity by characterizing the input--output map as a continuous piecewise affine (CPA) function whose complexity is governed by the…

In exchange for large quantities of data and processing power, deep neural networks have yielded models that provide state of the art predication capabilities in many fields. However, a lack of strong guarantees on their behaviour have…

We show that artificial neural networks with rectifier units as activation functions can exactly represent the piecewise affine function that results from the formulation of model predictive control of linear time-invariant systems. The…

Learning-based predictive control is a promising alternative to optimization-based MPC. However, efficiently learning the optimal control policy, the optimal value function, or the Q-function requires suitable function approximators. Often,…

Machine Learning methods and, in particular, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have demonstrated promising capabilities in material constitutive modeling. One of the main drawbacks of such approaches is the lack of a rigorous frame based on…

We present any-precision deep neural networks (DNNs), which are trained with a new method that allows the learned DNNs to be flexible in numerical precision during inference. The same model in runtime can be flexibly and directly set to…

Despite remarkable improvements in speed and accuracy, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) still typically operate as monolithic entities at inference time. This poses a challenge for resource-constrained practical applications, where both…

Many numerical algorithms in scientific computing -- particularly in areas like numerical linear algebra, PDE simulation, and inverse problems -- produce outputs that can be represented by semialgebraic functions; that is, the graph of the…

Despite prior advances in PINNs, significant challenges remain in localized solid mechanics problems because of the limitations of single network formulations in simultaneous resolution of smooth global responses and near-tip singularities,…

Convex piecewise quadratic (PWQ) functions frequently appear in control and elsewhere. For instance, it is well-known that the optimal value function (OVF) as well as Q-functions for linear MPC are convex PWQ functions. Now, in…

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have recently become a popular method for solving forward and inverse problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). By incorporating the residual of the PDE into the loss function of a…

With the increasing use of nonlinear devices in both generation and consumption of power, it is essential that we develop accurate and quick control for active filters to suppress harmonics. Time delays between input and output are…

One of the most common and universal problems in science is to investigate a function. The prediction can be made by an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) or a mathematical model. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages.…
