Markov chain models of bare-bones particle swarm optimizers
We apply a novel theoretical approach to better understand the behaviour of different types of bare-bones PSOs. It avoids many common but unrealistic assumptions often used in an...

Optimal mistuning for improved stability of vehicular platoons
— We consider a decentralized bidirectional control of a platoon of N identical vehicles moving in a straight line. Such problems are known to suffer from poor stability margin a...

A PDE viewpoint on basic properties of coordination algorithms with symmetries
Several recent control applications consider the coordination of subsystems through local interaction. Often the interaction has a symmetry in state space, e.g. invariance with res...

The sequence memoizer
We propose an unbounded-depth, hierarchical, Bayesian nonparametric model for discrete sequence data. This model can be estimated from a single training sequence, yet shares stati...

On Stability of Multistage Stochastic Programs
We study the quantitative stability of linear multistage stochastic programs under perturbations of the underlying stochastic processes. It is shown that the optimal values behave...
