Model-Free Optimization on Smooth Compact Manifolds: Overcoming Topological Obstructions using Zeroth-Order Hybrid Dynamics
Daniel E. Ochoa, Jorge I. Poveda
Smooth autonomous dynamical systems modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) cannot robustly and globally stabilize a point in compact, boundaryless manifolds. This obstru…
Accelerated Continuous-Time Approximate Dynamic Programming via Data-Assisted Hybrid Control
Daniel E. Ochoa, Jorge I. Poveda
We introduce a new closed-loop architecture for the online solution of approximate optimal control problems in the context of continuous-time systems. Specifically, we introduce th…
High-Performance Optimal Incentive-Seeking in Transactive Control for Traffic Congestion
Daniel E. Ochoa, Jorge I. Poveda
Traffic congestion has dire economic and social impacts in modern metropolitan areas. To address this problem, in this paper we introduce a novel type of model-free transactive con…
Planning a Return to Normal after the COVID-19 Pandemic: Identifying Safe Contact Levels via Online Optimization
Gianluca Bianchin, Emiliano Dall'Anese, Jorge I. Poveda +3
Since the early months of 2020, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) -- implemented at varying levels of severity and based on widely-divergent perspectives of risk tolerance --…
Model-Free Optimal Voltage Control via Continuous-Time Zeroth-Order Methods
Xin Chen, Jorge I. Poveda, Na Li
In power distribution systems, the growing penetration of renewable energy resources brings new challenges to maintaining voltage safety, which is further complicated by the limite…
Time-Varying Optimization of LTI Systems via Projected Primal-Dual Gradient Flows
Gianluca Bianchin, Jorge Cortes, Jorge I. Poveda +1
This paper investigates the problem of regulating in real time a linear dynamical system to the solution trajectory of a time-varying constrained convex optimization problem. The p…
