On-the-fly control of unknown nonlinear systems with sublinear regret
Abraham P. Vinod, Arie Israel, Ufuk Topcu
We study the problem of data-driven, constrained control of unknown nonlinear dynamics from a single ongoing and finite-horizon trajectory. We consider a one-step optimal control p…
Constrained, Global Optimization of Functions with Lipschitz Continuous Gradients
Abraham P. Vinod, Arie Israel, Ufuk Topcu
We present two first-order, sequential optimization algorithms to solve constrained optimization problems. We consider a black-box setting with a priori unknown, non-convex objecti…
Controller Synthesis for Safety of Physically-Viable Data-Driven Models
Mohamadreza Ahmadi, Arie Israel, Ufuk Topcu
We consider the problem of designing finite-horizon safe controllers for a dynamical system for which no explicit analytical model exists and limited data only along a single traje…
Control-Oriented Learning on the Fly
Melkior Ornik, Arie Israel, Ufuk Topcu
This paper focuses on developing a strategy for control of systems whose dynamics are almost entirely unknown. This situation arises naturally in a scenario where a system undergoe…
