On the optimal control of rate-independent soft crawlers
Giovanni Colombo, Paolo Gidoni
Existence of optimal solutions and necessary optimality conditions for a controlled version of Moreau's sweeping process are derived. The control is a measurable ingredient of the…
Optimization and Discrete Approximation of Sweeping Processes with Controlled Moving Sets and Perturbations
Tan H. Cao, Giovanni Colombo, Boris S. Mordukhovich +1
This paper addresses a new class of optimal control problems for perturbed sweeping processes with measurable controls in additive perturbations of the dynamics and smooth controls…
Thirteen New M Dwarf + T Dwarf Pairs Identified with WISE/NEOWISE
Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam C. Schneider +31
We present the discovery of 13 new widely separated T dwarf companions to M dwarf primaries, identified using WISE/NEOWISE data by the CatWISE and Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project…
Exponential Turnpike Theorems for Nonlinear Deterministic Meanfield Optimal Control Problems
Benoît Bonnet-Weill, Giovanni Colombo, Denis Shishmintsev +1
In this article, we establish exponential turnpike theorems for a class of nonlinear deterministic meanfield optimal control problems. We carry out our analysis simultaneously in t…
Stabilization of periodic sweeping processes and asymptotic average velocity for soft locomotors with dry friction
Giovanni Colombo, Paolo Gidoni, Emilio Vilches
We study the asymptotic stability of periodic solutions for sweeping processes defined by a polyhedron with translationally moving faces. Previous results are improved by obtaining…
Three Thousand Motion-Confirmed L and T Dwarf Candidates from the Backyard Worlds:~Planet 9 Citizen Science Project
Adam C. Schneider, Marc J. Kuchner, Jacqueline K. Faherty +73
The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project uses data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to detect infrared objects with significant motion. In this work, we pr…
