Optimal distributed control with stability guarantees by training a network of neural closed-loop maps

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Danilo Saccani, Leonardo Massai

This paper proposes a novel approach to improve the performance of distributed nonlinear control systems while preserving stability by leveraging Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). We build upon the Neural System Level Synthesis (Neur-SLS) framework and introduc ...

Unconstrained Learning of Networked Nonlinear Systems via Free Parametrization of Stable Interconnected Operators

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Danilo Saccani, Leonardo Massai

This paper characterizes a new parametrization of nonlinear networked incrementally L2 -bounded operators in discrete time. The distinctive novelty is that our parametrization is free - that is, a sparse large-scale operator with bounded incremental L2 gai ...

Model Predictive Control for Multi-Agent Systems under Limited Communication and Time-Varying Network Topology

Danilo Saccani, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

In control system networks, reconfiguration of the controller when agents are leaving or joining the network is still an open challenge, in particular when operation constraints that depend on each agent's behavior must be met. Drawing our motivation from ...

Homothetic Tube Model Predictive Control With Multi-Step Predictors

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Danilo Saccani, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

We present a robust model predictive control (MPC) framework for linear systems facing bounded parametric uncertainty and bounded disturbances. Our approach deviates from standard MPC formulations by integrating multi-step predictors, which provide reduced ...
