Koopman-based Data-driven Robust Control of Nonlinear Systems Using Integral Quadratic Constraints

Alireza Karimi, Mert Eyuboglu

This paper introduces a novel method for data-driven robust control of nonlinear systems based on the Koopman operator, utilizing Integral Quadratic Constraints (IQCs). The Koopman operator theory facilitates the linear representation of nonlinear system d ...

T-5 configurations and hyperbolic systems

Riccardo Tione, Carl Johan Peter Johansson

In this paper, we study the rank-one convex hull of a differential inclusion associated to entropy solutions of a hyperbolic system of conservation laws. This was introduced in [B. Kirchheim, S. Muller and V. S(sic)ver & aacute;k, Studying Nonlinear PDE by ...

Quadratic serendipity element shape functions on general planar polygons

Xiaodong Wei

This paper proposes a method for the construction of quadratic serendipity element (QSE) shape functions on planar convex and concave polygons. Existing approaches for constructing QSE shape functions are linear combinations of the pair-wise products of ge ...

Proximal Point Imitation Learning

Volkan Cevher, Luca Viano, Igor Krawczuk

This work develops new algorithms with rigorous efficiency guarantees for infinite horizon imitation learning (IL) with linear function approximation without restrictive coherence assumptions. We begin with the minimax formulation of the problem and then o ...

Reactive Navigation in Crowds for Non-holonomic Robots with Convex Bounding Shape

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados, David Julian Gonon

This paper describes a novel method for non-holonomic robots of convex shape to avoid imminent collisions with moving obstacles. The method's purpose is to assist navigation in crowds by correcting steering from the robot's path planner or driver. We evalu ...

Characterising Structure and Stability of Materials using Machine Learning

Andrea Anelli

The search of novel materials using in-silico high-throughput screening is emerging as a fundamental step in the pipeline of materials discovery, but its low yields in terms of synthesisable structures limit its effectiveness. In order to isolate configura ...

Conditional Gradient Methods via Stochastic Path-Integrated Differential Estimator

Volkan Cevher, Alp Yurtsever

We propose a class of novel variance-reduced stochastic conditional gradient methods. By adopting the recent stochastic path-integrated differential estimator technique (SPIDER) of Fang et al. (2018) for the classical Frank-Wolfe (FW) method, we introduce ...

Solving Continuous-Domain Problems Exactly with Multiresolution B-Splines

Michaël Unser, Julien René Fageot, Thomas Jean Debarre, Harshit Gupta

We propose a discretization method for continuous-domain linear inverse problems with multiple-order total-variation (TV) regularization. It is based on a recent result that proves that such inverse problems have sparse polynomial-spline solutions. Our met ...

Deep Feature Factorization For Content-Based Image Retrieval And Localization

Sabine Süsstrunk, Edo Collins

State of the art content-based image retrieval algorithms owe their excellent performance to the rich semantics encoded in the deep activations of a convolutional neural network. The difference between these algorithms lies mostly in how activations are co ...

A Non-Euclidean Gradient Descent Framework for Non-Convex Matrix Factorization

Volkan Cevher, Anastasios Kyrillidis, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Rabeeh Karimi Mahabadi

We study convex optimization problems that feature low-rank matrix solutions. In such scenarios, non-convex methods offer significant advantages over convex methods due to their lower space complexity as well as faster convergence speed. Moreover, many of ...

Generalized convex hull construction for materials discovery

Michele Ceriotti, Edgar Albert Engel, Andrea Anelli

Searching for novel materials involves identifying potential candidates and selecting those that have desirable properties and facile synthesis. It is relatively easy to generate large numbers of potential candidates, for instance, by computational searche ...

Dispatching Stochastic Heterogeneous Resources Accounting for Grid and Battery Losses

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Fabrizio Sossan, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Eleni Stai

We compute an optimal day-ahead dispatch plan for distribution networks with stochastic resources and batteries, while accounting for grid and battery losses. We formulate and solve a scenario-based AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF), which is by construction non ...

Representing groups against all odds

Maxime Gheysens

We investigate how probability tools can be useful to study representations of non-amenable groups. A suitable notion of "probabilistic subgroup" is proposed for locally compact groups, and is valuable to induction of representations. Nonamenable groups ad ...

Extension complexity of stable set polytopes of bipartite graphs

Yuri Faenza, Manuel Francesco Aprile

The extension complexity xc(P) of a polytope P is the minimum number of facets of a polytope that affinely projects to P. Let G be a bipartite graph with n vertices, m edges, and no isolated vertices. Let STAB(G) be the convex hull of the stable sets of G. ...

Efficient Algorithms for the Data Exchange Problem

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In this paper, we study the data exchange problem, where a set of users is interested in gaining access to a common file, but where each has only partial knowledge about it as side-information. Assuming that the file is broken into packets, the side-inform ...

Convex block-sparse linear regression with expanders - provably

Volkan Cevher, Anastasios Kyrillidis, Quoc Tran Dinh, Luca Baldassarre, Bubacarr Bah

Sparse matrices are favorable objects in machine learning and optimization. When such matrices are used, in place of dense ones, the overall complexity requirements in optimization can be significantly reduced in practice, both in terms of space and run-ti ...

Colin Neil Jones, Georgios Stathopoulos, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Altug Bitlislioglu

A method for certifying exact input trackability for constrained discrete time linear systems is introduced in this paper. A signal is assumed to be drawn from a reference set and the system must track this signal with a linear combination of its inputs. U ...
