Bounded Linear Programs for Data-Driven Optimal Control via Moment-Matching

Andrea Martinelli, Lucia Pezzetti, Niklas Schmid +2

Linear programming (LP) formulations offer a conceptually elegant approach to infinite-horizon, model-free nonlinear optimal control in continuous spaces. However, in addition to t…

Decentralized Model Predictive Control of Connected and Automated Vehicles with Coupled Safety Constraints

Philip Schultheis, Kimia Chavoshi, John Lygeros

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) operating on lane-free highways offer substantial gains in traffic efficiency. However, their inherent nonlinear dynamics and the presence o…

Optimizing Social Network Interventions via Hypergradient-Based Recommender System Design

Marino Kühne, Panagiotis D. Grontas, Giulia De Pasquale +3

Although social networks have expanded the range of ideas and information accessible to users, they are also criticized for amplifying the polarization of user opinions. Given the…

A Proportional-Integral Model for Fractional Voltage Tripping of Distributed Energy Resources

Milos Katanic, Gregor Verbic, John Lygeros +1

In regions with high shares of distributed energy resources (DERs), massive disconnection of small-scale DERs in low-voltage distribution grids during disturbances poses a serious…

Data-Driven Distributionally Robust System Level Synthesis

Francesco Micheli, Anastasios Tsiamis, John Lygeros

We present a novel approach for the control of uncertain, linear time-invariant systems, which are perturbed by potentially unbounded, additive disturbances. We propose a \emph{dou…

Towards a Systems Theory of Algorithms

Florian Dörfler, Zhiyu He, Giuseppe Belgioioso +3

Traditionally, numerical algorithms are seen as isolated pieces of code confined to an {\em in silico} existence. However, this perspective is not appropriate for many modern compu…

Distributionally Robust Infinite-horizon Control: from a pool of samples to the design of dependable controllers

Jean-Sébastien Brouillon, Andrea Martin, John Lygeros +2

We study control of constrained linear systems with only partial statistical information about the uncertainty affecting the system dynamics and the sensor measurements. Specifical…
