An Inexact Augmented Lagrangian Framework for Nonconvex Optimization with Nonlinear Constraints

Volkan Cevher, Ahmet Alacaoglu, Armin Eftekhari, Fabian Ricardo Latorre Gomez, Mehmet Fatih Sahin

We propose a practical inexact augmented Lagrangian method (iALM) for nonconvex problems with nonlinear constraints. We characterize the total computational complexity of our method subject to a verifiable geometric condition, which is closely related to t ...

Technical Report: Control of Nonlinear Systems with Explicit-MPC-like Controllers

Colin Neil Jones, Milan Korda, Ivan Pejcic

This paper describes synthesis of controllers involving Quadratic Programming (QP) optimization problems for control of nonlinear systems. The QP structure allows an implementation of the controller as a piecewise affine function, pre-computed offline, whi ...

Distributed Rate Allocation in Switch-Based Multiparty Videoconferencing System

Pascal Frossard, Sergio Mena, Stefano D'Aronco

Multiparty videoconferences, or more generally multiparty video calls, are gaining a lot of popularity as they offer a rich communication experience. These applications have, however, large requirements in terms of both network and computational resources ...

Complexity Certification of the Fast Alternating Minimization Algorithm for Linear MPC

Colin Neil Jones, Ye Pu, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

In this technical note, the fast alternating minimization algorithm (FAMA) is proposed to solve model predictive control (MPC) problems with polytopic and second-order cone constraints. Two splitting strategies with efficient implementations for MPC proble ...

Exact Algorithms for $ L ^{ 1 } $ -TV Regularization of Real-Valued or Circle-Valued Signals

Michaël Unser, Martin Kurt Storath

We consider

L ^{ 1 }

-TV regularization of univariate signals with values on the real line or on the unit circle. While the real data space leads to a convex optimization problem, the problem is nonconvex for circle-valued data. In this paper, we deriv ...

Distributed Modifier-Adaptation Schemes for the Real-Time Optimization of Interconnected Systems in the Presence of Structural Plant-Model Mismatch

Dominique Bonvin, René Uwe Schneider, Predrag Milosavljevic

The desire to operate chemical processes in a safe and economically optimal way has motivated the development of so-called real-time optimization (RTO) methods [1]. For continuous processes, these methods aim to compute safe and optimal steady-state set ...

Particle Swarm Optimization and Kalman Filtering for Demand Prediction of Commercial Buildings

François Maréchal, Samira Fazlollahi, Araz Ashouri

The integration of weather forecasts and demand prediction into the energy management system of buildings is usually achieved using a model-based predictive control. The performance of such control techniques strongly depends on the accuracy of the thermal ...

Rigorous optimization recipes for sparse and low rank inverse problems with applications in data sciences

Anastasios Kyrillidis

Many natural and man-made signals can be described as having a few degrees of freedom relative to their size due to natural parameterizations or constraints; examples include bandlimited signals, collections of signals observed from multiple viewpoints in ...

Enabling Complexity-Performance Trade-Offs for Successive Cancellation Decoding of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Georgios Karakonstantis

Polar codes are one of the most recent advancements in coding theory and they have attracted significant interest. While they are provably capacity achieving over various channels, they have seen limited practical applications. Unfortunately, the successiv ...
