Every principal G-bundle over X is classified up to equivalence by a homotopy class X -> BG, where BG is the classifying space of G. On the other hand, for every nice topological space X Milnor constructed a strict model of its loop space (Omega) over tild ...
This thesis contributes towards the design and analysis of fast and distributed optimization algorithms based on splitting techniques, such as proximal gradient methods or alternation minimization algorithms, with the application of solving model predictiv ...
In this paper, a novel optimality-tracking algorithm for solving Economic Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (ENMPC) problems in real-time is presented. Developing online schemes for ENMPC is challenging, since it is unclear how convexity of the Quadratic ...
A novel decomposition scheme to solve parametric nonconvex programs as they arise in Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) is presented. It consists of a fixed number of alternating proximal gradient steps and a dual update per time step. Hence, the pr ...
This thesis deals with the development of numerical methods for solving nonconvex optimisation problems by means of decomposition and continuation techniques. We first introduce a novel decomposition algorithm based on alternating gradient projections and ...
From basic science to translation, modern biomedical research demands computational models which integrate several interacting physical systems. This paper describes the infrastructural framework for generic multiphysics integration implemented in the soft ...
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 ...
Point process generalized linear models (PP-GLMs) provide an important statistical framework for modeling spiking activity in single-neurons and neuronal networks. Stochastic stability is essential when sampling from these models, as done in computational ...
The estimation of a random vector with independent components passed through a linear transform followed by a componentwise (possibly nonlinear) output map arises in a range of applications. Approximate message passing (AMP) methods, based on Gaussian appr ...
Motivated by common practices in the reinsurance industry and in insurance markets such as Lloyd's, we study the general problem of optimal insurance contracts design in the presence of multiple insurance providers. We show that the optimal risk allocation ...
