Pricing Electric Vehicle Charging and Station Access via Copositive Duality
Nanfei Jiang, Yi Zhou, Josh A. Taylor +1
Optimized charging of electric vehicles (EVs) at public locations consists of two decisions: how much energy to deliver at what times, which is continuous, and where to plug in, wh…
Stochastic Gradient Descent with Strategic Querying
Nanfei Jiang, Hoi-To Wai, Mahnoosh Alizadeh
This paper considers a finite-sum optimization problem under first-order queries and investigates the benefits of strategic querying on stochastic gradient-based methods compared t…
The Safety-Privacy Tradeoff in Linear Bandits
Arghavan Zibaie, Spencer Hutchinson, Ramtin Pedarsani +1
We consider a collection of linear stochastic bandit problems, each modeling the random response of different agents to proposed interventions, coupled together by a global safety…
Constrained Online Convex Optimization with Polyak Feasibility Steps
Spencer Hutchinson, Mahnoosh Alizadeh
In this work, we study online convex optimization with a fixed constraint function . Prior work on this problem has shown reg…
Online Nonstochastic Control with Convex Safety Constraints
Nanfei Jiang, Spencer Hutchinson, Mahnoosh Alizadeh
This paper considers the online nonstochastic control problem of a linear time-invariant system under convex state and input constraints that need to be satisfied at all times. We…
Learning Prosumer Behavior in Energy Communities: Integrating Bilevel Programming and Online Learning
Bennevis Crowley, Jalal Kazempour, Lesia Mitridati +1
Dynamic pricing through bilevel programming is widely used for demand response but often assumes perfect knowledge of prosumer behavior, which is unrealistic in practical applicati…
