Entropy-Regularized Optimal Transport for Time-Varying Multi-Agent Coverage Control
Italo Napolitano, Mario di Bernardo
This paper addresses time-varying coverage control for multi-agent systems, formulated as the tracking of an evolving target density via entropy-regularized semi-discrete optimal t…
Synchronization of directed hypergraphs with heterogeneities via dynamic coupling
Aiwin Thomas Vadakkan, Pietro De Lellis, Mario di Bernardo
Many real-world networks involve interactions among three or more agents that cannot be reduced to pairwise coupling, making hypergraphs a natural modeling framework. In this work,…
Memorial for Dr. Erik Bollt
Scott Bollt, Mario di Bernardo, Jeremie Fish +4
In this paper, we give a memorial tribute to Prof. Erik M. Bollt (1967--2025).
Feedback Control of a Recirculating Bioreactor with Electrophoretic Removal of Inhibitory Extracellular DNA
Antonio Spallone, Davide Fiore, Fabrizio Cartenì +1
Extracellular DNA accumulation in recirculating bioprocesses inhibits microbial growth and reduces productivity. We consider a continuous bioreactor with a recirculating loop and a…
Multi-Scale Control of Large Agent Populations: From Density Dynamics to Individual Actuation
Mario di Bernardo
We review a body of recent work by the author and collaborators on controlling the spatial organisation of large agent populations across multiple scales. A central theme is the sy…
Semi-discrete Optimal Transport for Time-Varying Multi-Agent Coverage Control
Italo Napolitano, Mario di Bernardo
Coverage control algorithms have traditionally focused on static target densities, where agents optimally cover a fixed spatial distribution. However, many applications, such as en…
