An optimal control strategy to design passive thermal cloaks of arbitrary shape
Riccardo Saporiti, Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni +1
In this paper we describe a numerical framework for achieving passive thermal cloaking of arbitrary shapes in both static and transient regimes. The design strategy is cast as the…
Optimal Strategies to Steer and Control Water Waves
Sebastiano Cominelli, Carlo Sinigaglia, Davide Enrico Quadrelli +1
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for controlling surface water waves and their interaction with floating bodies. We consider a floating target rigid body surrounded by a…
Robust optimal density control of robotic swarms
Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni, Francesco Braghin +1
In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient, robust density control strategy for the mean-field model of a robotic swarm. We formulate a static optimal control problem (O…
Indirect Optimal Control of Advection-Diffusion Fields through Robotic Swarms
Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni, Francesco Braghin +1
In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally guiding a large-scale swarm of underwater vehicles that is tasked with the indirect control of an advection-diffusion environmen…
Fast active thermal cloaking through PDE-constrained optimization and reduced-order modeling
Carlo Sinigaglia, Davide Enrico Quadrelli, Andrea Manzoni +1
In this paper we show how to efficiently achieve thermal cloaking from a computational standpoint in several virtual scenarios by controlling a distribution of active heat sources.…
Design of arbitrarily shaped acoustic cloaks through PDE-constrained optimization satisfying sonic-metamaterial design requirements
Sebastiano Cominelli, Davide Enrico Quadrelli, Carlo Sinigaglia +1
We develop an optimization framework for the design of acoustic cloaks, with the aim of overcoming the limitations of usual transformation-based cloaks in terms of microstructure c…
Optimal Control of Velocity and Nonlocal Interactions in the Mean-Field Kuramoto Model
Carlo Sinigaglia, Francesco Braghin, Spring Berman
In this paper, we investigate how the self-synchronization property of a swarm of Kuramoto oscillators can be controlled and exploited to achieve target densities and target phase…
Density control of large-scale particles swarm through PDE-constrained optimization
Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni, Francesco Braghin
We describe in this paper an optimal control strategy for shaping a large-scale swarm of particles using boundary global actuation. This problem arises as a key challenge in many s…
