— 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...
Abstract— Symbolic models are abstract descriptions of continuous systems in which symbols represent aggregates of continuous states. In the last few years there has been a growi...
— In this paper we study the problem of dynamic optimization of ping schedule in an active sonar buoy network deployed to provide persistent surveillance of a littoral area throu...
Abstract— This paper proposes a novel two-stage optimization method for robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC) with Gaussian disturbance and state estimation error. Since the dis...
We consider a networked control system, where each subsystem evolves as a Markov decision process (MDP). Each subsystem is coupled to its neighbors via communication links over wh...
