Asymptotically Optimal Contextual Bandit Algorithm Using Hierarchical Structures

We propose an online algorithm for sequential learning in the contextual multiarmed bandit setting. Our approach is to partition the context space and, then, optimally combine all of the possible mappings between the partition regions and the set of bandit ...

Cost for a controlled linear KdV equation

Joachim Krieger, Shengquan Xiang

The controllability of the linearized KdV equation with right Neumann control is studied in the pioneering work of Rosier [25]. However, the proof is by contradiction arguments and the value of the observability constant remains unknown, though rich mathem ...

On convergence and performance certification of a continuous-time economic model predictive control scheme with time-varying performance index

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti

This paper addresses the design of convergence and performance certified sampled-data model predictive control (MPC) laws with a time-dependent economic performance index. More precisely, using a dissipativity property of the system, we provide a set of su ...

An Economic Model Predictive Control scheme with terminal penalty for continuous-time systems

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti

In this paper, convergence and performance properties of a sample-data continuous time model predictive control (MPC) scheme with economic performance index are developed. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions for convergence of the close loop st ...

Graph-Based Distributed Control for Non-holonomic Vehicles Engaged in a Reconfiguration Task using Local Positioning Information

Alcherio Martinoli, Sven Adrian Gowal

Formation building and keeping among vehicles has been studied for many years, since 1987 with Reynold's rules. This paper presents a control algorithm, based on recent work in graph theory, able to reconfigure static formations of non-holonomic vehicles e ...

Acoustic tomography for scalar and vector fields: theory and application to temperature and wind estimation

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Ivana Jovanovic

Acoustic tomography is a type of inverse problem. The idea of estimating physical quantities that influence sound propagation by measuring the parameters of propagation has proven to be successful in many practical domains, including temperature and wind e ...
