Moment Constrained Optimal Transport for Control Applications
Thomas Le Corre, Ana Busic, Sean Meyn
This paper concerns the application of techniques from optimal transport (OT) to mean field control, in which the probability measures of interest in OT correspond to empirical dis…
Optimal Matrix Momentum Stochastic Approximation and Applications to Q-learning
Adithya M. Devraj, Ana Bušić, Sean Meyn
Acceleration is an increasingly common theme in the stochastic optimization literature. The two most common examples are Nesterov's method, and Polyak's momentum technique. In this…
Action-Constrained Markov Decision Processes With Kullback-Leibler Cost
Ana Bušić, Sean Meyn
This paper concerns computation of optimal policies in which the one-step reward function contains a cost term that models Kullback-Leibler divergence with respect to nominal dynam…
Ordinary Differential Equation Methods For Markov Decision Processes and Application to Kullback-Leibler Control Cost
Ana Bušić, Sean Meyn
A new approach to computation of optimal policies for MDP (Markov decision process) models is introduced. The main idea is to solve not one, but an entire family of MDPs, parameter…
Distributed Randomized Control for Demand Dispatch
Ana Bušić, Sean Meyn
The paper concerns design of control systems for Demand Dispatch to obtain ancillary services to the power grid by harnessing inherent flexibility in many loads. The role of "local…
Individual risk in mean-field control models for decentralized control, with application to automated demand response
Yue Chen, Ana Bušić, Sean Meyn
Flexibility of energy consumption can be harnessed for the purposes of ancillary services in a large power grid. In prior work by the authors a randomized control architecture is i…
Ancillary Service to the Grid Using Intelligent Deferrable Loads
Sean Meyn, Prabir Barooah, Ana Bušić +2
Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have a high degree of unpredictability and time-variation, which makes balancing demand and supply challenging. One possible w…
