Online sparse observers for cyber-physical systems under sensor bias
Vito Cerone, Sophie M. Fosson, Diego Regruto +1
The design of state observers for cyber-physical systems under sparse sensor biases, faults, or attacks has drawn substantial attention in recent years. While sparsity-based batch…
Thermal management optimization of Battery Electric Vehicles via hierarchical NMPC with CMO-trained Neural Models
Francesco Ripa, Diego Regruto, Pasquale Ceres +1
This paper addresses the problem of energy-efficient thermal management in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), with the goal of extending driving range while ensuring passenger comfo…
Global Convergence of Control-Based Lagrangian Flows for Non-Convex Optimization
Simone Pirrera, Francesco Ripa, Daniele Astolfi +3
This paper studies the continuous-time dynamics generated by control-theoretic Lagrangian methods for equality-constrained optimization. In particular, we consider dynamics induced…
Feedback control of Lagrange multipliers for non-smooth constrained optimization
V. Cerone, S. M. Fosson, S. Pirrera +2
In this work, we develop a control-theoretic framework for constrained optimization problems with composite objective functions including non-differentiable terms. Building on the…
Integral action for bilinear systems with application to counter current heat exchanger
Francesco Ripa, Daniele Astolfi, Boussad Hamroun +1
In this study, we propose a robust control strategy for a counter-current heat exchanger. The primary objective is to regulate the outlet temperature of one fluid stream by manipul…
A Fully Analog Implementation of Model Predictive Control with Application to Buck Converters
Simone Pirrera, Lorenzo Calogero, Francesco Gabriele +3
This paper proposes a novel approach to design analog electronic circuits that implement Model Predictive Control (MPC) policies for dynamical systems described by affine models. E…
