A two-stage approach to satellite constellation optimization: classical and QUBO formulations
Carlo Novara
The design of satellite constellations for Earth observation requires balancing spatial coverage, revisit time, cost, and operational complexity. This paper considers the problem o…
Unifying Decision-Making and Trajectory-Planning in Unsignalized Intersections Using Time-Varying Potential Fields
David Costa, Francesco Cerrito, Massimo Canale +1
This paper presents a novel framework for integrated Decision-Making (DM) and Trajectory Planning (TP) for automated vehicles at unsignalized intersections. The approach leverages…
A Finite-Gain Stability Approach to NMPC Design: the Extended Version
Carlo Novara, Mattia Boggio, Lorenzo Calogero +1
This paper proposes a novel approach to design of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) schemes based on Finite-Gain Stability (FGS) concepts. The proposed formulation consider…
EOS-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Earth Observation Satellite Scheduling
Qian Yin, Jiaxing Li, Jiaqi Cheng +23
Earth observation satellite imaging scheduling is a challenging NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem central to space mission operations. While next-generation agile Earth ob…
Unifying Decision Making and Trajectory Planning in Automated Driving through Time-Varying Potential Fields
David Costa, Francesco Cerrito, Massimo Canale +1
This paper proposes a unified decision making and local trajectory planning framework based on Time-Varying Artificial Potential Fields (TVAPFs). The TVAPF explicitly models the pr…
A Quantum-Compliant Formulation for Network Epidemic Control
Lorenzo Zino, Mattia Boggio, Deborah Volpe +3
We deal with controlling the spread of an epidemic disease on a network by isolating one or multiple locations by banning people from leaving them. To this aim, we build on the sus…
A Quantum Approach for Optimal Transient Control in Network-Based Epidemic Models
Deborah Volpe, Giacomo Orlandi, Mattia Boggio +3
Effective epidemic control is crucial for mitigating the spread of infectious diseases, particularly when pharmaceutical interventions such as vaccines or treatments are limited. N…
Quantum optimization for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
Carlo Novara, Mattia Boggio, Deborah Volpe
Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) is a general and flexible control approach, used in many industrial contexts, and is based on the online solution of a nonlinear optimizat…
Depletion of fossil fuel reserves and projections of CO concentration in the Earth atmosphere
Daniele Mazza, Enrico Canuto
The paper has been suggested by two observations: 1) the atmospheric CO growth rate is smaller than that ascribed to the emission of fossil fuels combustion, 2) the fossil fuel…
