This paper introduces an efficient approach to solve quadratic and nonlinear programming problems subject to linear equality constraints via the Theory of Functional Connections. This is done without using the traditional Lagrange…

Neural networks have demonstrated remarkable success in modeling nonlinear dynamical systems. However, identifying these systems from closed-loop experimental data remains a challenge due to the correlations induced by the feedback loop.…

Solution and analysis of mathematical programming problems may be simplified when these problems are symmetric under appropriate linear transformations. In particular, a knowledge of the symmetries may help reduce the problem dimension, cut…

Ordinary differential equations that model technical systems often contain states, that are considered dangerous for the system. A trajectory that reaches such a state usually indicates a flaw in the design. In this paper, we present and…

The sparse linear regression problem is difficult to handle with usual sparse optimization models when both predictors and measurements are either quantized or represented in low-precision, due to non-convexity. In this paper, we provide a…

Many cyber-physical systems can naturally be formulated as switched systems with constrained switching. This includes systems where one of the signals in the feedback loop may be lost. Possible sources for losses are shared or unreliable…
