Zeroth-order optimisation on subsets of symmetric matrices with application to MPC tuning
Alejandro I. Maass, Chris Manzie, Iman Shames +1
This paper provides a zeroth-order optimisation framework for non-smooth and possibly non-convex cost functions with matrix parameters that are real and symmetric. We provide compl…
Temporal Logic Planning for Minimum-Time Positioning of Multiple Threat-Seduction Decoys
Tony A. Wood, Mitchell Khoo, Elad Michael +2
Reusable decoys offer a cost-effective alternative to the single-use hardware commonly applied to protect surface assets from threats. Such decoys portray fake assets to lure threa…
Ordinal Optimisation and the Offline Multiple Noisy Secretary Problem
Robert Chin, Jonathan E. Rowe, Iman Shames +2
We study the success probability for a variant of the secretary problem, with noisy observations and multiple offline selection. Our formulation emulates, and is motivated by, prob…
Sensitivity Analysis for Bottleneck Assignment Problems
Elad Michael, Tony A. Wood, Chris Manzie +1
In assignment problems, decision makers are often interested in not only the optimal assignment, but also the sensitivity of the optimal assignment to perturbations in the assignme…
A Sequential Learning Algorithm for Probabilistically Robust Controller Tuning
Robert Chin, Chris Manzie, Iman Shames +2
We introduce a sequential learning algorithm to address a robust controller tuning problem, which in effect, finds (with high probability) a candidate solution satisfying the inter…
