During Gayathri Ramkumar’s favorite lesson — a sort of mathematical guessing game — she’ll hear her students asking their partners things like, “Can you tell me the degree of the polynomial?” Not only ...

We develop a numerically efficient algorithm for computing controls for nonlinear systems that minimize a quadratic performance measure. We formulate the optimal control problem in discrete-time, but ...

This paper considers a class of distributed quadratic optimization problem under an undirected and connected graph. Different from most of the existing distributed optimization works that consider the ...
