Maximum-likelihood Kalman filtering for switching discrete-time linear systems
— State estimation is addressed for a class of discrete-time systems that may switch among different modes taken from a finite set. The system and measurement equations of each ...

A proximal center-based decomposition method for multi-agent convex optimization
— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...

Distributed control: A sequentially semi-separable approach
— We consider the problem of designing controllers for spatially-varying interconnected systems distributed in one spatial dimension. The matrix structure of such systems can be ...

A collocation model for water-hammer dynamics with application to leak detection
— This paper presents a new model for so-called water hammer equations based on a collocation method. This model is shown to fairly represent possible leak effects in a pipeline ...

Transformation of optimal control problems with a state constraint avoiding interior boundary conditions
— A well–known problem in constrained optimal control is the presence of interior boundary conditions for constrained arcs which require a–priori knowledge of the optimal sol...

The vanishing approach for the average continuous control of piecewise deterministic Markov processes
Abstract— This paper deals with the long run average continuous control problem of piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMP‘s) taking values in a general Borel space and ...
