Optimal Bayesian Persuasion for Containing SIS Epidemics
Urmee Maitra, Ashish R. Hota, Philip E. Paré
We consider a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model in which a large group of individuals decide whether to adopt partially effective protection without being aware…
Safe Reference Tracking and Collision Avoidance for Taxiing Aircraft Using an MPC-CBF Framework
Brooks A. Butler, Zarif Cabrera, Andy Nguyen +1
In this paper, we develop a framework for the automatic taxiing of aircraft between hangar and take-off given a graph-based model of an airport. We implement a high-level path-plan…
Collaborative Safety-Critical Formation Control with Obstacle Avoidance
Brooks A. Butler, Chi Ho Leung, Philip E. Paré
This work explores a collaborative method for ensuring safety in multi-agent formation control problems. We formulate a control barrier function (CBF) based safety filter control l…
Global and Distributed Reproduction Numbers of a Multilayer SIR Model with an Infrastructure Network
José I. Caiza, Junjie Qin, Philip E. Paré
In this paper, we propose an SIR spread model in a population network coupled with an infrastructure network that has a pathogen spreading in it. We develop a threshold condition t…
