Noom, J. (author)The complexity of automated systems has grown considerably during the past decades. This convolutes the observation of possible faults in these systems. If not being revealed timely, such faults can lead to catastrophic failures. As a result, there is a continuous interest in sophisticated fault diagnosis techniques. Since it is generally...doctoral thesis 2024

Heusdens, R. (author), Zhang, Guoqiang (author)In this article, we consider the problem of distributed optimisation of a separable convex cost function over a graph, where every edge and node in the graph could carry both linear equality and/or inequality constraints. We show how to modify the primal-dual method of multipliers (PDMM), originally designed for linear equality constraints,...journal article 2024

Classens, Koen (author), Heemels, W. P.M.H. (author), Oomen, T.A.E. (author)The performance of fault detection filters relies on a high sensitivity to faults and a low sensitivity to disturbances. The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to directly shape these sensitivities, expressed in terms of minimum and maximum singular values. The developed method offers an alternative solution to the H<sub>-</sub>/H...journal article 2023

Hille, Sander C. (author), Theewis, E.S. (author)Explicit expressions and computational approaches are given for the Fortet–Mourier distance between a positively weighted sum of Dirac measures on a metric space and a positive finite Borel measure. Explicit expressions are given for the distance to a single Dirac measure. For the case of a sum of several Dirac measures one needs to resort to...journal article 2023

Gkiotsalitis, K. (author), Cats, O. (author), Liu, T. (author), Bult, J. M. (author)The trips of a high-frequency urban rail line are typically planned with the aim of achieving even time headways. This results in reliable services for each urban rail line, where successive trips have the same time headway. Maintaining even time headways for each service line has significant advantages for the passengers of the line, but it...journal article 2023

Zattoni Scroccaro, P. (author), Sharifi K., Arman (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)In the past few years, online convex optimization (OCO) has received notable attention in the control literature thanks to its flexible real-time nature and powerful performance guarantees. In this article, we propose new step-size rules and OCO algorithms that simultaneously exploit gradient predictions, function predictions and dynamics,...journal article 2023

Anderson, Daron (author), Iosifidis, G. (author), Leith, Douglas J. (author)We consider the general problem of online convex optimization with time-varying budget constraints in the presence of predictions for the next cost and constraint functions, that arises in a plethora of network resource management problems. A novel saddle-point algorithm is designed by combining a Follow-The-Regularized-Leader iteration with...journal article 2023

Leith, Douglas J. (author), Iosifidis, G. (author)In this paper we extend the classical Follow-The-Regularized-Leader (FTRL) algorithm to encompass time-varying constraints, through adaptive penalization. We establish sufficient conditions for the proposed Penalized FTRL algorithm to achieve O(t) regret and violation with respect to a strong benchmark X^tmax. Lacking prior knowledge of the...conference paper 2023

(author), Dusparic, Ivana (author)The virtualization of wireless networks enables new services to access network resources made available by the Network Operator (NO) through a Network Slicing market. The different service providers (SPs) have the opportunity to lease the network resources from the NO to constitute slices that address the demand of their specific network...conference paper 2023

Redel, Floor (author)Ill-posed Linear Inverse Problems arise in various research domains, such as control engineering and image processing. Having a fast algorithm is a great benefit when working with high-dimensional signals, such as images. However, fast convergence and iterations with low computational complexity are challenging.<br/>In this master thesis report,...master thesis 2022

Jordan, Sebastian (author)In recent years, the large increase in connected devices and the data that is collected by these devices has caused a heightened interest in distributed processing. Many practical distributed networks are of heterogeneous nature. Because of this, algorithms operating within these networks need to be simple, robust against network dynamics and...master thesis 2022

Admiraal, Gijs (author)The advent of wireless networks such as content distribution networks and edge computing networks calls for more effective online caching policies. Traditional policies lose performance since these new networks deal with highly non-stationary requests and frequent popularity shifts. Consequently, a new framework called Online Convex Optimization...bachelor thesis 2022

Van der Ploeg, Chris (author), Alirezaei, Mohsen (author), Van De Wouw, Nathan (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)In this article, we propose a tractable nonlinear fault estimation filter along with explicit performance bounds for a class of linear dynamical systems in the presence of both additive and nonlinear multiplicative faults. We consider the case, where both faults may occur simultaneously and through an identical dynamical relationship, a...journal article 2022

Pan, K. (author), Palensky, P. (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)The main objective of this article is to develop scalable dynamic anomaly detectors with high-fidelity simulators of power systems. On the one hand, models in high-fidelity simulators are typically 'intractable' if one opts to describe them in a mathematical formulation in order to apply existing model-based approaches from the anomaly...journal article 2022
