A compendium of the authors' recently published results, this book discusses sliding mode control of uncertain nonlinear systems, with a particular emphasis on advanced and optimization based algorithms. The authors survey classical sliding mode control theory and introduce four new methods of advanced sliding mode control. They analyze classical ......
In many dynamical systems, time delays arise because of the time it takes to measure system states, perceive and evaluate events, formulate decisions, and act on those decisions. The presence of delays may lead to undesirable outcomes; without an engineered design, the dynamics may underperform, oscillate, and even become unstable. How to study ......
This book is about making decisions driven by experience. In this context, a scenario is an observation that comes from the environment, and scenario optimization refers to optimizing decisions over a set of available scenarios. Scenario optimization can be applied across a variety of fields, including machine learning, quantitative finance, ......
This text presents a unique treatment of network control systems. Drawing from fundamental principles of dynamical systems theory and dynamical thermodynamics, the authors develop a continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid dynamical system and control framework for linear and nonlinear large-scale network systems. The proposed framework extends ......
Compressed sensing is a relatively recent area of research that refers to the recovery of high-dimensional but low-complexity objects from a limited number of measurements. The topic has applications to signal/image processing and computer algorithms, and it draws from a variety of mathematical techniques such as graph theory, probability theory, ......
Matrix Analysis and Computations introduces the basics of matrix analysis and presents representative methods and their corresponding theories in matrix computations. In this textbook, readers will find: The matrix theory necessary for direct and iterative methods for solving systems of linear equations. Systematic methods and rigorous theory on ......
This textbook focuses on computational methods for inverse problems that are governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). The author considers deterministic and Bayesian formulations and highlights how traditional tools from deterministic inversion can be integrated into solution methods for Bayesian inverse problems. Advanced topics such as ......
This book is a self-contained introduction to quantum algorithms with an emphasis on quantum optimization, that is, quantum algorithms to solve optimization problems. The book provides all the tools necessary to understand the benefits and drawbacks of quantum optimization algorithms, paying particular attention to provable guarantees and ......
Conditional Gradient Methods: From Core Principles to AI Applications offers a definitive and modern treatment of one of the most elegant and versatile algorithmic families in optimization: the Frank-Wolfe method and its many variants. Originally proposed in the 1950s, these projection-free techniques have seen a powerful resurgence, now playing a ......
