Fast Assignment in Asset-Guarding Engagements using Function Approximation

no code implementations11 Apr 2024 Neelay Junnarkar, Emmanuel Sin, Peter Seiler, Douglas Philbrick, Murat Arcak

This subproblem is computationally intensive and hence the computational cost of the assignment is dominated by the construction of the cost matrix.

On the Necessity and Sufficiency of Discrete-Time O'Shea-Zames-Falb Multipliers

no code implementations14 Dec 2021 Lanlan Su, Peter Seiler, Joaquin Carrasco, Sei Zhen Khong

Roughly speaking, a successful proof of the conjecture would require: (a) a conic parameterization of a set of multipliers that describes exactly the set of nonlinearities, (b) a lossless S-procedure to show that the non-existence of a multiplier implies that the Lurye system is not uniformly robustly stable over the set of nonlinearities, and (c) the existence of a multiplier in the set of multipliers used in (a) implies the existence of an LTI multiplier.
