Huber-based Robust System Identification with Near-Optimal Guarantees Across Independent and Adversarial Regimes

Jihun Kim, Javad Lavaei

Dynamical systems can confront one of two extreme types of disturbances: persistent zero-mean independent noise, and sparse nonzero-mean adversarial attacks, depending on the speci…

System Identification under Noise and Attack Regimes: Agnostic and Composite Robustness

Jihun Kim, Javad Lavaei

Dynamical systems often confront persistent zero-mean independent noise and/or sparse nonzero-mean adversarial attacks. While mean-based estimators like least-squares handle the fo…

Revisiting the Geometrically Decaying Step Size: Linear Convergence for Smooth or Non-Smooth Functions

Jihun Kim

We revisit the geometrically decaying step size given a positive inverse condition number, under which a locally Lipschitz function shows linear convergence. The positivity does no…

The landscape of deterministic and stochastic optimal control problems: One-shot Optimization versus Dynamic Programming

Jihun Kim, Yuhao Ding, Yingjie Bi +1

Optimal control problems can be solved via a one-shot (single) optimization or a sequence of optimization using dynamic programming (DP). However, the computation of their global o…
