Dynamic Information Acquisition

We consider optimal information acquisition for the control of linear discrete-time random systems with noisy observations and apply the findings to the problem of dynamically implementing emissions-reduction targets. The optimal policy, which is provided ...

On the Use of Transient Information for Static Real-Time Optimization

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti

Optimal operation of chemical processes is key for meeting productivity, quality, safety and environmental objectives. Both model-based and data-driven schemes are used to compute optimal operating conditions [1]: - The model-based techniques are intu ...

Learning the Stiffness of a Continuous Soft Manipulator from Multiple Demonstrations

Sylvain Calinon

Continuous soft robots are becoming more and more widespread in applications, due to their increased safety and flexibility in critical applications. The possibility of having soft robots that are able to change their stiffness in selected parts can help i ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : A model order reduction framework for parametrized nonlinear PDE constrained optimization

Federico Negri

In this paper, we propose a model order reduction framework for parametrized quadratic optimization problems constrained by nonlinear stationary PDEs. Once the solutions of the optimization problem are characterized as the solutions of the corresponding op ...

On the Design of Economic NMPC Based on an Exact Turnpike Property

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser

We discuss the design of sampled-data economic nonlinear model predictive control schemes for continuous-time systems. We present novel sufficient convergence conditions that do not require any kind of terminal constraints nor terminal penalties. Instead, ...

A two-stage stochastic programming approach to employee scheduling in retail outlets with uncertain demand

Colin Neil Jones

This paper describes an employee scheduling system for retail outlets; it is a constraint-based system that exploits forecasts and stochastic techniques to generate schedules meeting the demand for sales personnel. Uncertain scenarios due to fluctuating de ...

Linearized numerical homogenization method for nonlinear monotone parabolic multiscale problems

Assyr Abdulle, Gilles Vilmart, Martin Ernst Huber

We introduce and analyze an efficient numerical homogenization method for a class of nonlinear parabolic problems of monotone type in highly oscillatory media. The new scheme avoids costly Newton iterations and is linear at both the macroscopic and the mic ...

Turnpike and dissipativity properties in dynamic real-time optimization and economic MPC

Dominique Bonvin, Colin Neil Jones, Timm Faulwasser, Milan Korda

We investigate the turnpike and dissipativity properties of continuous-time optimal control problems. These properties play a key role in the analysis and design of schemes for dynamic real-time optimization and economic model predictive control. We show i ...

On the Connection between the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman and the Fokker-Planck Control Frameworks

Fabio Nobile

In the framework of stochastic processes, the connection between the dynamic programming scheme given by the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and a recently proposed control approach based on the Fokker-Planck equation is discussed. Under appropriate assum ...

Modeling of Reconfigurable Medical Ultrasonic Applications in BIP

Alena Simalatsar, Stefanos Skalistis

Medical ultrasonic imaging applications require high quality of images produced in real-time often with limited resources available. Deadlock-freedom and confluency must be guaranteed to insure the correctness of the applications, while feasibility and opt ...
