Generalized Necessary and Sufficient Robust Boundedness Results for Feedback Systems
Saman Cyrus, Laurent Lessard
Classical sufficient conditions for ensuring the robust stability of a dynamical system in feedback with a nonlinearity include passivity, small gain, circle, and conicity theorems…
A Revised Mehrotra Predictor-Corrector algorithm for Model Predictive Control
Saman Cyrus, Ali Khaki Sedigh
Input constrained Model predictive control (MPC) includes an optimization problem which should iteratively be solved at each time-instance. The well-known drawback of model predict…
Unified Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Robust Stability of Interconnected Sector-Bounded Systems
Saman Cyrus, Laurent Lessard
Classical conditions for ensuring the robust stability of a linear system in feedback with a sector-bounded nonlinearity include small gain, circle, passivity, and conicity theorem…
A Robust Accelerated Optimization Algorithm for Strongly Convex Functions
Saman Cyrus, Bin Hu, Bryan Van Scoy +1
This work proposes an accelerated first-order algorithm we call the Robust Momentum Method for optimizing smooth strongly convex functions. The algorithm has a single scalar parame…
