Data-driven control of nonlinear systems with rigorous guarantees is a challenging problem as it usually calls for nonconvex optimization and requires often knowledge of the true basis functions of the system dynamics. To tackle these…

We present a simple model of a dynamical system driven by externally-imposed coherent noise. Although the system never becomes critical in the sense of possessing spatial correlations of arbitrarily long range, it does organize into a…

The problem of controlling and stabilising solutions to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation is studied in this paper. We consider a generalised form of the equation in which the effects of an electric field and dispersion are included. Both…

In this paper, we use tools from sheaf theory to model and analyze optimal network control problems and their associated discrete relaxations. We consider a general problem setting in which pieces of equipment and their causal relations are…

We consider the Navier-Stokes system in a bounded domain with a smooth boundary. Given a sufficiently regular time-dependent global solution, we construct a finite-dimensional feedback control that is supported by a given open set and…

In this paper, we present a data-driven controller design method for continuous-time nonlinear systems, using no model knowledge but only measured data affected by noise. While most existing approaches focus on systems with polynomial…

Understanding how complex systems respond to perturbations, such as whether they will remain stable or what their most sensitive patterns are, is a fundamental challenge across science and engineering. Traditional stability and receptivity…

Robust stability and stochastic stability have separately seen intense study in control theory for many decades. In this work we establish relations between these properties for discrete-time systems and employ them for robust control…

We consider the problem of designing a feedback controller for a multivariable linear time-invariant system which regulates an arbitrary system output to the solution of an equality-constrained convex optimization problem despite unknown…

The goal of this paper is to provide a tutorial on the so-called informativity framework for direct data-driven analysis and control. This framework achieves certified data-based analysis and control by assessing system properties and…

We propose a data-driven control method for systems with aleatoric uncertainty, for example, robot fleets with variations between agents. Our method leverages shared trajectory data to increase the robustness of the designed controller and…

This paper introduces new techniques for using convex optimization to fit input-output data to a class of stable nonlinear dynamical models. We present an algorithm that guarantees consistent estimates of models in this class when a small…

This letter presents a framework for synthesizing a robust full-state feedback controller for systems with unknown nonlinearities. Our approach characterizes input-output behavior of the nonlinearities in terms of local norm bounds using…

We examine a multi-stage stochastic optimization problem characterized by stagewise-independent, decision-dependent noises with strict constraints. The problem assumes convexity in that, following a specific relaxation, it transforms into a…

This paper presents a linear-programming based algorithm to perform data-driven stabilizing control of linear positive systems. A set of state-input-transition observations is collected up to magnitude-bounded noise. A state feedback…

This paper addresses the problem of data-driven modeling and verification of perception-based autonomous systems. We assume the perception model can be decomposed into a canonical model (obtained from first principles or a simulator) and a…

As the complexity of modern control systems increases, it becomes challenging to derive an accurate model of the uncertainty that affects their dynamics. Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO) provides a powerful framework…

A stochastic optimal control problem for incompressible Newtonian channel flow past a circular cylinder is used as a prototype optimal control problem for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. The inlet flow and the rotation speed of the…

In this article, we present an extension of the formulation recently developed by the authors (A Framework for Data-Driven Computational Mechanics Based on Nonlinear Optimization, arXiv:1910.12736 [math.NA]) to the structural dynamics…

Motivated by perception-based control problems in autonomous systems, this paper addresses the problem of developing feedback controllers to regulate the inputs and the states of a dynamical system to optimal solutions of an optimization…
