Ignore Drift, Embrace Simplicity: Constrained Nonlinear Control through Driftless Approximation

Ram Padmanabhan, Melkior Ornik

We present a novel technique to drive a nonlinear system to reach a target state under input constraints. The proposed controller consists only of piecewise constant inputs, genera…

Viscosity-Informed Generative Actor-Critic for High-Dimensional Stochastic Optimal Control

Alen E. Golpashin, Gokul Puthumanaillam, Melkior Ornik +1

We introduce a method for approximating viscosity solutions of stationary degenerate elliptic Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations on bounded domains arising in stochastic exit-time…

Finite-time Reachability for Constrained, Partially Uncontrolled Nonlinear Systems

Ram Padmanabhan, Melkior Ornik

This paper presents a technique to drive the state of a constrained nonlinear system to a specified target state in finite time, when the system suffers a partial loss in control a…

The Continuous p-Dispersion Problem in Three Dimensions

Sanjay Manoj, Melkior Ornik

The Continuous p-Dispersion Problem (CpDP) with boundary constraints asks for the placement of a fixed number of points in a compact subset of Euclidean space such that the minimum…

Approximate Energetic Resilience of Nonlinear Systems under Partial Loss of Control Authority

Ram Padmanabhan, Melkior Ornik

In this paper, we quantify the resilience of nonlinear dynamical systems by studying the increased energy used by all inputs of a system that suffers a partial loss of control auth…

Optimizing a Model-Agnostic Measure of Graph Counterdeceptiveness via Reattachment

Anakin Dey, Sam Ruggerio, Manav Vora +1

Recognition of an adversary's objective is a core problem in physical security and cyber defense. Prior work on target recognition focuses on developing optimal inference strategie…
