Optimal Control of Semilinear Graphon Systems

Controlling the dynamics of large-scale networks is essential for a macroscopic reduction of overall consumption and losses in the context of energy supply, finance, logistics, and mobility. We investigate the optimal control of semilinear dynamical systems on asymptotically infinite networks, using the notion of graphons. Graphons represent a limit object of a converging graph sequence … 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 optimal switching controls for graphon dynamical systems. To this end, we apply a decomposition approach comprised of a relaxation and a reconstruction step. … Read more

Randomized Roundings for a Mixed-Integer Elliptic Control System

We present randomized reconstruction approaches for optimal solutions to mixed-integer elliptic PDE control systems. Approximation properties and relations to sum-up rounding are derived using the cut norm. This enables us to dispose of space-filling curves required for sum-up rounding. Rates of almost sure convergence in the cut norm and the SUR norm in control space … Read more
