Time-Varying Parameters in Sequential Decision Making Problems
Amber Srivastava, S. M. Salapaka
In this paper we address the class of Sequential Decision Making (SDM) problems that are characterized by time-varying parameters. These parameter dynamics are either pre-specified…
Design of Experiments with Imputable Feature Data: An Entropy-Based Approach
Raj K. Velicheti, Amber Srivastava, Srinivasa M. Salapaka
Tactical selection of experiments to estimate an underlying model is an innate task across various fields. Since each experiment has costs associated with it, selecting statistical…
On Determining and Qualifying the Number of Superstates in Aggregation of Markov Chains
Amber Srivastava, Raj K. Velicheti, Srinivasa M. Salapaka
Many studies involving large Markov chains require determining a smaller representative (aggregated) chains. Each {\em superstate} in the representative chain represents a {\em gro…
Isochronous Architecture-Based Voltage-Active Power Droop for Multi-Inverter Systems
Sourav Patel, Soham Chakraborty, Blake Lundstrom +2
Advanced microgrids consisting of distributed energy resources interfaced with multi-inverter systems are becoming more common. Consequently, the effectiveness of voltage and frequ…
Inequality Constraints in Facility Location and Other Similar Optimization Problems: An Entropy Based Approach
Amber Srivastava, Gabriel Barsi Haberfeld, Naira Hovakimyan +1
In this paper we propose an annealing based framework to incorporate inequality constraints in optimization problems such as facility location, simultaneous facility location with…
A Clustering Approach to Edge Controller Placement in Software Defined Networks with Cost Balancing
Reza Soleymanifar, Amber Srivastava, Carolyn Beck +1
In this work we introduce two novel deterministic annealing based clustering algorithms to address the problem of Edge Controller Placement (ECP) in wireless edge networks. These n…
