On the Stability of Power Systems with AI Data Centers: A Multi-Equilibrium Switched DAE Framework

Vishal Shenoy, Damola Ajeyemi, Mahmoud Abdelgalil +3

The rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centers is introducing dynamic loads into power transmission systems as GPU clusters switch between computational phases with…

The Deceptive Bandit Problem: Exploratory Coupling and the Fragility of Multi-Agent Learning

Michael Tang, Mahmoud Abdelgalil, Jorge I. Poveda

Randomized exploration is central to bandit learning, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and zeroth-order policy search, yet its independence and privacy are usually only treated…

Stochastic Lie-Bracket Approximations for Zeroth-Order Optimization on Manifolds

Mahmoud Abdelgalil, Miroslav Krstic, Jorge I. Poveda

We propose a continuous-time algorithm for zeroth-order global optimization of smooth functions on compact manifolds that synthesizes Riemannian gradient dynamics using only object…

Non-Holonomic Gradient Play: Leafwise Nash Equilibria, Stability, and Deception

Mahmoud Abdelgalil, Miroslav Krstic, Jorge I. Poveda

We study generalized learning dynamics in multi-agent systems whose joint state evolves on a manifold and whose agents act through state-dependent, potentially nonholonomic vector…

A Ballantine-Type Factorization of Diffeomorphisms

Mahmoud Abdelgalil, Tryphon T. Georgiou

We show that on a compact, connected, Riemannian manifold without boundary, every isotopic to the identity diffeomorphism can be written as a finite composition of optimal mass tra…

The Holonomy of Optimal Mass Transport: The Smooth Case

Mahmoud Abdelgalil, Tryphon T. Georgiou

We prove that, on a smooth manifold equipped with a constant rank horizontal distribution and a smooth inner product on , any horizontal vector field can be writte…

On the Isospectral Nature of Minimum-Shear Covariance Control

Ralph Sabbagh, Asmaa Eldesoukey, Mahmoud Abdelgalil +1

We revisit Brockett's attention in the context of bilinear gradient flow of an ensemble, and explore an alternative formalism that aims to reduce shear by minimizing the conditioni…
