Control Co-Design (CCD) considers the coupled effects of both the plant and control parameters to optimize a system's closed-loop transient performance during the design stage. This paper presents a new method for CCD with guarantees on…
This work explores methods to identify energy system designs for infeasible control co-design optimization problems. Control co-design, or CCD, has been recognized as a powerful tool to maximize energy system capabilities through…
This work addresses an optimal control problem constrained by a degenerate kinetic equation of parabolic-hyperbolic type. Using a hypocoercivity framework we establish the well-posedness of the problem and demonstrate that the optimal…
In this paper, we design a controller for an interconnected system where a linear Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) is actuated through a linear parabolic heat equation. These dynamics arise in various applications, such as coupled…
Empirical experiences have shown that simultaneous (rather than conventional sequential) plant and controller design procedure leads to an improvement in performance and saving of plant resources. Such a simultaneous synthesis procedure is…
Control co-design (CCD) is a technique for improving the closed-loop performance of systems through the coordinated design of both plant parameters and an optimal control policy. While model predictive control (MPC) is an attractive control…
Optimal control of the singular nonlinear parabolic PDE which is a distributional formulation of multidimensional and multiphase Stefan-type free boundary problem is analyzed. Approximating sequence of finite-dimensional optimal control…
In this paper, we consider a control synthesis problem for a class of polynomial dynamical systems subject to bounded disturbances and with input constraints. More precisely, we aim at synthesizing at the same time a controller and an…
We propose a semi-discrete numerical scheme and establish well-posedness of a class of parabolic systems. Such systems naturally arise while studying the optimal control of grain boundary motions. The latter is typically described using a…
This paper addresses the problem of control synthesis for nonlinear optimal control problems in the presence of state and input constraints. The presented approach relies upon transforming the given problem into an infinite-dimensional…
This paper gives convex conditions for synthesis of a distributed control system for large-scale networked nonlinear dynamic systems. It is shown that the technique of control contraction metrics (CCMs) can be extended to this problem by…

When designing autonomous systems, we need to consider multiple trade-offs at various abstraction levels, and the choices of single (hardware and software) components need to be studied jointly. In this work we consider the problem of…
We consider control-constrained linear-quadratic optimal control problems on evolving surfaces. In order to formulate well-posed problems, we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for the state equation, in the sense of…
We consider the feedback design for stabilizing a rigid body system by making and breaking multiple contacts with the environment without prespecifying the timing or the number of occurrence of the contacts. We model such a system as a…
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…
