This work presents a convex-optimization-based framework for analysis and control of nonlinear partial differential equations. The approach uses a particular weak embedding of the nonlinear PDE, resulting in a linear equation in the space…
Differential Evolution (DE) is recognized as one of the most powerful optimizers in the evolutionary algorithm (EA) family. Many DE variants were proposed in recent years, but significant differences in performances between them are hardly…
We consider a multi-carrier and densely deployed small cell network, where small cells are powered by renewable energy source and operate in a full-duplex mode. We formulate an energy and traffic aware resource allocation optimization…
This paper explores a fully discrete approximation for a nonlinear hyperbolic PDE-constrained optimization problem (P) with applications in acoustic full waveform inversion. The optimization problem is primarily complicated by the…
The present paper is concerned with a nonlinear partial differential control system subject to a state-dependent and nonconvex control constraint. This system models the dynamics of populations in the vegetation--prey--predator framework…
Bridging the microscopic and macroscopic modelling scales in crowd dynamics constitutes an open challenge for systematic numerical analysis, optimization, and control. Here, we propose a manifold-informed machine learning approach to learn…
Decentralized optimization and communication compression have exhibited their great potential in accelerating distributed machine learning by mitigating the communication bottleneck in practice. While existing decentralized algorithms with…
An important issue in today's electricity markets is the management of flexibilities offered by new practices, such as smart home appliances or electric vehicles. By inducing changes in the behavior of residential electric utilities, demand…
Community microgrids are developed within existing power systems by integrating local distributed energy resources (DERs). So power distribution systems can be seamlessly partitioned into community microgrids and end-users could be largely…
In distributed optimization for large-scale learning, a major performance limitation comes from the communications between the different entities. When computations are performed by workers on local data while a coordinator machine…
In this paper we propose a novel and general approach to design semi-implicit methods for the simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems in a fully Eulerian framework. In order to properly present the new method, we focus on the…

We show that dynamic coordination of distributed energy resources (DERs) can increase the capacity of low- and medium-voltage grids, improve reliability and power quality, and reduce solar curtailment. We develop three approaches to compute…

This work extends the concepts of algebraic flux correction and convex limiting to continuous high-order Bernstein finite element discretizations of scalar hyperbolic problems. Using an array of adjustable diffusive fluxes, the standard…
We present a structure-preserving Eulerian algorithm for solving $L^2$-gradient flows and a structure-preserving Lagrangian algorithm for solving generalized diffusions. Both algorithms employ neural networks as tools for spatial…
Modern power systems integrate renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) as an environment-friendly enhancement to meet the ever-increasing demands. However, the inherent unreliability of renewable energy renders developing DER…
In this work we focus our attention on distributed optimization problems in the context where the communication time between the server and the workers is non-negligible. We obtain novel methods supporting bidirectional compression (both…
This paper formulates a time-varying social-welfare maximization problem for distribution grids with distributed energy resources (DERs) and develops online distributed algorithms to identify (and track) its solutions. In the considered…
