Priority Based Synchronization for Faster Learning in Games
Abbasali Koochakzadeh, Yasin Yazıcıoğlu
Learning in games has been widely used to solve many cooperative multi-agent problems such as coverage control, consensus, self-reconfiguration or vehicle-target assignment. One st…
Control Barrier Functions with Actuation Constraints under Signal Temporal Logic Specifications
Ali Tevfik Buyukkocak, Derya Aksaray, Yasin Yazıcıoğlu
We propose control barrier functions (CBFs) for a family of dynamical systems to satisfy a broad fragment of Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications, which may include subtasks…
High Dimensional Robust Consensus over Networks with Limited Capacity
Yasin Yazicioglu, Alberto Speranzon
We investigate robust linear consensus over networks under capacity-constrained communication. The capacity of each edge is encoded as an upper bound on the number of state variabl…
Edge Augmentation with Controllability Constraints in Directed Laplacian Networks
Waseem Abbas, Mudassir Shabbir, Yasin Yazıcıoglu +1
In this paper, we study the maximum edge augmentation problem in directed Laplacian networks to improve their robustness while preserving lower bounds on their strong structural co…
Control Synthesis using Signal Temporal Logic Specifications with Integral and Derivative Predicates
Ali Tevfik Buyukkocak, Derya Aksaray, Yasin Yazıcıoğlu
In many applications, the integrals and derivatives of signals carry valuable information (e.g., cumulative success over a time window, the rate of change) regarding the behavior o…
Strong Structural Controllability of Diffusively Coupled Networks: Comparison of Bounds Based on Distances and Zero Forcing
Yasin Yazicioglu, Mudassir Shabbir, Waseem Abbas +1
We study the strong structural controllability (SSC) of diffusively coupled networks, where the external control inputs are injected to only some nodes, namely the leaders. For suc…
Absorption in Time-Varying Markov Chains: Graph-Based Conditions
Yasin Yazicioglu
We investigate absorption, i.e., almost sure convergence to an absorbing state, in time-varying (non-homogeneous) discrete-time Markov chains with finite state space. We consider s…
Persistent Surveillance With Energy-Constrained UAVs and Mobile Charging Stations
Sepehr Seyedi, Yasin Yazicioglu, Derya Aksaray
We address the problem of achieving persistent surveillance over an environment by using energy-constrained unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are supported by unmanned ground…
Structural Robustness to Noise in Consensus Networks: Impact of Degrees and Distances, Fundamental Limits, and Extremal Graphs
Yasin Yazicioglu, Waseem Abbas, Mudassir Shabbir
We investigate how the graph topology influences the robustness to noise in undirected linear consensus networks. We measure the structural robustness by using the smallest possibl…
On the Trade-off Between Controllability and Robustness in Networks of Diffusively Coupled Agents
Waseem Abbas, Mudassir Shabbir, A. Yasin Yazicioglu +1
In this paper, we demonstrate a conflicting relationship between two crucial properties---controllability and robustness---in linear dynamical networks of diffusively coupled agent…
