Sample Complexity of Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) Control for Output Feedback Systems

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri, Na Li

This paper studies a class of partially observed Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) problems with unknown dynamics. We establish an end-to-end sample complexity bound on learning a robust LQG controller for open-loop stable plants. This is achieved using a ro ...

Motor control: Neural correlates of optimal feedback control theory

Mackenzie Mathis, Steffen Schneider

Recent work is revealing neural correlates of a leading theory of motor control. By linking an elegant series of behavioral experiments with neural inactivation in macaques with computational models, a new study shows that premotor and parietal areas can b ...

Optimal Linear Controller for Minimizing DC Voltage Oscillations in MMC-Based Offshore Multiterminal HVDC Grids

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri

The paper aims at minimizing DC voltage oscillations in offshore multiterminal high-voltage direct current (HVDC) grids based on modular multilevel converters (MMCs). The DC voltage stability is a crucial factor in multiterminal HVDC networks since it is a ...

System-level, Input-output and New Parameterizations of Stabilizing Controllers, and Their Numerical Computation

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri, Na Li

It is known that the set of internally stabilizing controller

\mathcal{C}_{\text{stab}}

is non-convex, but it admits convex characterizations using certain closed-loop maps: a classical result is the {Youla parameterization}, and two recent notions are t ...

Feedback Control Design Maximizing the Region of Attraction of Stochastic Systems Using Polynomial Chaos Expansion

Petr Listov

A feedback control design is proposed for stochastic systems with finite second moment which aims at maximising the region of attraction of the equilibrium point. Polynomial Chaos (PC) expansions are employed to represent the stochastic closed loop system ...

Improving sound absorption through nonlinear active electroacoustic resonators

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Xinxin Guo

Absorbing airborne noise at frequencies below 300 Hz is a particularly vexing problem due to the absence of natural sound absorbing materials at these frequencies. The prevailing solution for low-frequency sound absorption is the use of passive narrow-band ...
