Proximal algorithms for large-scale statistical modeling and sensor/actuator selection
Armin Zare, Hesameddin Mohammadi, Neil K. Dhingra +2
Several problems in modeling and control of stochastically-driven dynamical systems can be cast as regularized semi-definite programs. We examine two such representative problems a…
Structured decentralized control of positive systems with applications to combination drug therapy and leader selection in directed networks
Neil K. Dhingra, Marcello Colombino, Mihailo R. Jovanović
We study a class of structured optimal control problems in which the main diagonal of the dynamic matrix is a linear function of the design variable. While such problems are in gen…
A second order primal-dual method for nonsmooth convex composite optimization
Neil K. Dhingra, Sei Zhen Khong, Mihailo R. Jovanović
We develop a second order primal-dual method for optimization problems in which the objective function is given by the sum of a strongly convex twice differentiable term and a poss…
On the optimal control problem for a class of monotone bilinear systems
Neil K. Dhingra, Marcello Colombino, Mihailo R. Jovanović +2
We consider a class of monotone systems in which the control signal multiplies the state. Among other applications, such bilinear systems can be used to model the evolutionary dyna…
The proximal augmented Lagrangian method for nonsmooth composite optimization
Neil K. Dhingra, Sei Zhen Khong, Mihailo R. Jovanović
We study a class of optimization problems in which the objective function is given by the sum of a differentiable but possibly nonconvex component and a nondifferentiable convex re…
