Optical Tomography Based On A Nonlinear Model That Handles Multiple Scattering

Michaël Unser, Demetri Psaltis, Ulugbek Kamilov, Alexandre Goy, Joowon Lim

Learning Tomography (LT) is a nonlinear optimization algorithm for computationally imaging three-dimensional (3D) distribution of the refractive index in semi-transparent samples. Since the energy function in LT is generally non-convex, the solution it obt ...

On infinite dimensional linear programming approach to stochastic control * *This research is partially supported by M. Kamgarpour’s European Union ERC Starting Grant, CONENE and by T. Summers’ the US National Science Foundation under grant CNS-1566127.

Maryam Kamgarpour, Tyler Summers

We consider the infinite dimensional linear programming (inf-LP) approach for solving stochastic control problems. The inf-LP corresponding to problems with uncountable state and input spaces is in general computationally intractable. By focusing on linear ...

Robust control of constrained systems given an information structure

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri

We study finite horizon optimal control where the controller is subject to sensor-information constraints, that is, each input has access to a fixed subset of states at all times. In particular, we consider linear systems affected by exogenous disturbances ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : A fast gradient method for nonnegative sparse regression with self dictionary

Robert Gerhard Jérôme Luce

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) can be computed efficiently under the separability assumption, which asserts that all the columns of the input data matrix belong to the convex cone generated by only a few of its columns. The provably most robust met ...

Moment-sum-of-squares hierarchies for set approximation and optimal control

Milan Korda

This thesis uses the idea of lifting (or embedding) a nonlinear controlled dynamical system into an infinite-dimensional space of measures where this system is equivalently described by a linear equation. This equation and problems involving it are subsequ ...

Frank-Wolfe Works for Non-Lipschitz Continuous Gradient Objectives: Scalable Poisson Phase Retrieval

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh, Alp Yurtsever, Yen-Huan Li, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Marwa El Halabi, Gergely Odor

We study a phase retrieval problem in the Poisson noise model. Motivated by the PhaseLift approach, we approximate the maximum-likelihood estimator by solving a convex program with a nuclear norm constraint. While the Frank-Wolfe algorithm, together with t ...

Guaranteeing Input Tracking For Constrained Systems: Theory and Application to Demand Response

Colin Neil Jones, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Georgios Stathopoulos, Altug Bitlislioglu

A method for certifying exact input trackability for constrained discrete time linear systems is introduced in this paper. A signal is assumed to be drawn from a reference set and the system must track this signal with a linear combination of its inputs. U ...

A Convex Solution to Disparity Estimation from Light Fields via the Primal-Dual Method

Pierre Vandergheynst, Mahdad Hosseini Kamal

We present a novel approach to the reconstruction of depth from light field data. Our method uses dictionary representations and group sparsity constraints to derive a convex formulation. Although our solution results in an increase of the problem dimensio ...

Ringin' the water bell: dynamic modes of curved fluid sheets

John Martin Kolinski

A water bell is formed by fluid flowing in a thin, coherent sheet in the shape of a bell. Experimentally, a water bell is created via the impact of a cylindrical jet on a flat surface. Its shape is set by the splash angle (the separation angle) of the resu ...

Convex computation of the region of attraction of polynomial control systems

Milan Korda

We address the long-standing problem of computing the region of attraction (ROA) of a target set (typically a neighborhood of an equilibrium point) of a controlled nonlinear system with polynomial dynamics and semialgebraic state and input constraints. We ...
