Proximal Gradient Dynamics and Feedback Control for Equality-Constrained Composite Optimization
Veronica Centorrino, Francesca Rossi, Francesco Bullo +1
This paper studies equality-constrained composite minimization problems. This class of problems, capturing regularization terms and inequality constraints, naturally arises in a wi…
Neural Policy Composition from Free Energy Minimization
Francesca Rossi, Veronica Centorrino, Francesco Bullo +1
The ability to flexibly compose previously acquired skills to execute intelligent behaviors is a hallmark of natural intelligence. Such compositional flexibility is often attribute…
Free-Gate: Planning, Control And Policy Composition via Free Energy Gating
Francesca Rossi, Ãmiland Garrabé, Giovanni Russo
We consider the problem of optimally composing a set of primitives to tackle planning and control tasks. To address this problem, we introduce a free energy computational model for…
On Weakly Contracting Dynamics for Convex Optimization
Veronica Centorrino, Alexander Davydov, Anand Gokhale +2
We analyze the convergence behavior of \emph{globally weakly} and \emph{locally strongly contracting} dynamics. Such dynamics naturally arise in the context of convex optimization…
