Escaping Local Optima in a Class of Multi-Agent Distributed Optimization Problems: A Boosting Function Approach
Xinmiao Sun, Christos G. Cassandras, Kagan Gokbayrak
We address the problem of multiple local optima commonly arising in optimization problems for multi-agent systems, where objective functions are nonlinear and nonconvex. For the cl…
Optimal Routing of Energy-aware Vehicles in Networks with Inhomogeneous Charging Nodes
Sepideh Pourazarm, Christos G. Cassandras
We study the routing problem for vehicles with limited energy through a network of inhomogeneous charging nodes. This is substantially more complicated than the homogeneous node ca…
Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis for Quasi-Dynamic Traffic Light Controllers
Julia L. Fleck, Christos G. Cassandras
We consider the traffic light control problem for a single intersection modeled as a stochastic hybrid system. We study a quasi-dynamic policy based on partial state information de…
Energy-aware Vehicle Routing in Networks with Charging Nodes
Tao Wang, Christos G. Cassandras, Sepideh Pourazarm
We study the problem of routing vehicles with energy constraints through a network where there are at least some charging nodes. We seek to minimize the total elapsed time for vehi…
