    This paper interfaces combinatorial integral approximation strategies with the inherent robustness properties of conventional model predictive control with stabilizing terminal conditions. We deduce practical stability results for finite-control set and mixed-integer model predictive control and investigate the evolution of the closed-loop system in the presence of control rounding to draw conclusions about deviation from optimality. … Read more

    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
