We consider two Bayesian experimental design scenarios: selection of the observations under a budget, and input design. The goal is to maximize the mutual information between models and data, that is the ultimate statistical upper bound on the identifiability of a system from empirical data. First, we introduce a method to select which components of the state variable to measure under a budget constraint, and at which time points. Our greedy approach takes advantage of the submodularity of the mutual information, and hence requires only a polynomial number of evaluations of the objective to achieve near-optimal designs. Second, we consider the computationally harder task of designing sequences of input interventions, and propose a likelihood-free approximation method. Exact and approximate design solutions are verified with predictive models of genetic regulatory interaction networks in embryonic development.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122705461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quantum system under consideration consists of two two-level atoms interacting with a quantized electromagnetic field. In the sampling-based learning control method, an artificial system is constructed based on the quantum system with uncertainties and an optimal control law is learned for the artificial system. Some additional samples which are generated by sampling the uncertainty parameters are used to test the performance of the optimal control law. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the SLC method in finding a robust control law for entanglement generation between two atoms in a cavity in the presence of a quantized field.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122716211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nonlinear dynamics of the plant are approximated as an uncertain Quasi-Linear Parameter Varying (Q-LPV) system in which the time varying parameter consist of an on-line adaptation of weights of multiple linear models. The overall multiple model representation consists of a convex combination of the individual models. The uncertainty bounds on the Q-LPV system are “designed” to include the plant-model mismatch in addition to the disturbance bounds. In particular, these uncertainty bounds are computed based on inclusion functions obtained using Bernstein polynomial and interval based bounding. The resulting robust regulation problem of the nonlinear plant is posed as Robust Tube Based Model Predictive Control (RTBMPC) of the uncertain Q-LPV system with “designed” uncertainty bounds. The proposed control strategy is demonstrated for robust regulation of Van de Vusse reactor, a significantly nonlinear system.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122944417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a model-based methodology for online estimation of vehicle's lateral dynamics is presented, while generalizations of the Kalman Filter algorithm, the Extended and Unscented Kalman Filters are used due to the highly non-linear model behavior. The results of the introduced methodologies are presented for two different driving maneuvers and validated comparing to measurements taken with a VW Golf GTI.

Our approach is inspired by our recent results on bounding the performance of greedy strategies in optimization of string functions over a finite horizon. The approach is to derive a string-optimization problem, for which the optimal strategy is the optimal control solution and the greedy strategy is the ADP solution. Using this approach, we show that any ADP solution achieves a performance that is at least a factor of β of the performance of the optimal control solution, characterized by Bellman's optimality principle. The factor β depends on the specific ADP scheme, as we will explicitly characterize. To illustrate the applicability of our bounding technique, we present examples of ADP schemes, including the popular rollout method.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123033984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By designing the error filter and by selecting the parameters of the PLL according to the guidelines suggested by the stability proof, the technique addressed in the paper allows to cope with the presence of measurement bias while damping the effect of high-frequency noise and harmonics.

This approach proposes an interaction variable-based power system model suitable for the design of the FACTS controllers.
