Regret Bounds for Adaptive Nonlinear Control
Nicholas M. Boffi, Stephen Tu, Jean-Jacques E. Slotine
We study the problem of adaptively controlling a known discrete-time nonlinear system subject to unmodeled disturbances. We prove the first finite-time regret bounds for adaptive n…
Learning Stability Certificates from Data
Nicholas M. Boffi, Stephen Tu, Nikolai Matni +2
Many existing tools in nonlinear control theory for establishing stability or safety of a dynamical system can be distilled to the construction of a certificate function that guara…
Coordinate transformation methodology for simulating quasi-static elastoplastic solids
Nicholas M. Boffi, Chris H. Rycroft
Molecular dynamics simulations frequently employ periodic boundary conditions where the positions of the periodic images are manipulated in order to apply deformation to the materi…
Parallel three-dimensional simulations of quasi-static elastoplastic solids
Nicholas M. Boffi, Chris H. Rycroft
Hypo-elastoplasticity is a flexible framework for modeling the mechanics of many hard materials under small elastic deformation and large plastic deformation. Under typical loading…
A continuous-time analysis of distributed stochastic gradient
Nicholas M. Boffi, Jean-Jacques E. Slotine
We analyze the effect of synchronization on distributed stochastic gradient algorithms. By exploiting an analogy with dynamical models of biological quorum sensing - where synchron…
