Sequential Rounding in Mixed-Integer Model Predictive Control

This paper interfaces combinatorial integral approximation strategies with the inherent robustness properties of conventional model predictive control with stabilizing terminal conditions to establish practical asymptotic stability results for finite-control set and mixed-integer model predictive control. We examine the impact of sequential control rounding on the closed-loop performance in terms of stability and optimality. Sum-up rounding … Read more

Optimal Control of Semilinear Graphon Systems

We investigate optimal control of semilinear dynamical systems on asymptotically infinite networks, using the notion of graphons. A graphon represents a limit object of a converging graph sequence and serves as a generalization of a finite graph, enabling a systematic analysis of large-scale networks. We analyze semilinear graphon dynamical systems and establish state convergence along … Read more

Integer Control Approximations for Graphon Dynamical Systems

Graphons generalize graphs and define a limit object of a converging graph sequence. The notion of graphons allows for a generic representation of coupled network dynamical systems. We are interested in approximating integer controls for graphon dynamical systems. To this end, we apply a decomposition approach comprised of a relaxation and a reconstruction step. We … Read more
