Franci, B. (author), Grammatico, S. (author)Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of generative models with two antagonistic neural networks: a generator and a discriminator. These two neural networks compete against each other through an adversarial process that can be modeled as a stochastic Nash equilibrium problem. Since the associated training process is challenging,...journal article 2023

Mares Nasarre, P. (author), García-Maribona, Julio (author), Mendoza Lugo, M.A. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)An accurate estimation of wind and wave variables is key for coastal and offshore applications. Recently, copulas have gained popularity for modelling wind and waves multivariate dependence, since accounting for the hydrodynamic relationships between them is needed to ensure reliable estimations of the required design values. In this study,...conference paper 2023

Dobson, P. (author), Bierkens, G.N.J.C. (author)In this paper we aim to construct infinite dimensional versions of well established Piecewise Deterministic Monte Carlo methods, such as the Bouncy Particle Sampler, the Zig-Zag Sampler and the Boomerang Sampler. In order to do so we provide an abstract infinite dimensional framework for Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (PDMPs) with...journal article 2023

Jarne Ornia, D. (author), Zufiria, Pedro J. (author), Mazo, M. (author)Collaborative multiagent robotic systems, where agents coordinate by modifying a shared environment often result in undesired dynamical couplings that complicate the analysis and experiments when solving a specific problem or task. Simultaneously, biologically inspired robotics rely on simplifying agents and increasing their number to obtain...journal article 2022

Scarabaggio, P. (author), Grammatico, S. (author), Carli, Raffaele (author), Dotoli, Mariagrazia (author)In this article, we propose a distributed demand-side management (DSM) approach for smart grids taking into account uncertainty in wind power forecasting. The smart grid model comprehends traditional users as well as active users (prosumers). Through a rolling-horizon approach, prosumers participate in a DSM program, aiming at minimizing...journal article 2022

Chen, Tzu Yin Kasha (author), Hung, Chi Yao (author), Chiang, Y.-C. (author), Hsieh, Meng Long (author), Capart, Hervé (author)In some steep valleys, flood-induced changes in river bed elevation pose significantly greater risks to infrastructure than floodwaters alone. Over the short term, the river may aggrade or degrade by several meters during a single flood. Whereas floodwaters recede after each event, moreover, riverbed changes add up over successive floods. To...journal article 2022

Wang, X. (author), Li, Z. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Wang, M. (author)Real-time safety systems are crucial components of intelligent vehicles. This paper introduces a prediction-based collision risk assessment approach on highways. Given a point mass vehicle dynamics system, a stochastic forward reachable set considering two-dimensional motion with vehicle state probability distributions is firstly established. We...conference paper 2022

Carli, Raffaele (author), Cavone, Graziana (author), Pippia, T.M. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Dotoli, Mariagrazia (author)This paper focuses on the control of microgrids where both gas and electricity are provided to the final customer, i.e., multi-carrier microgrids. Hence, these microgrids include thermal and electrical loads, renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, heat pumps, and combined heat and power units. The parameters characterizing the...journal article 2022

Das, B. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Isufi, E. (author)Data processing over graphs is usually done on graphs of fixed size. However, graphs often grow with new nodes arriving over time. Knowing the connectivity information of these nodes, and thus, the expanded graph is crucial for processing data over the expanded graph. In its absence, its inference and the subsequent data processing become...journal article 2022

Wilde, N. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)In this paper we study the multi-robot task assignment problem with tasks that appear online and need to be serviced within a fixed time window in an uncertain environment. For example, when deployed in dynamic, human-centered environments, the team of robots may not have perfect information about the environment. Parts of the environment may...conference paper 2022

van Ginkel, G.J. (author)In this thesis we study the Symmetric Exclusion Process (SEP) and the Discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) on compact Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we obtain the hydrodynamic limit and the equilibrium fluctuations of SEP and we show that the DGFF converges to its continuous counterpart. To define these discrete models, we construct grids...doctoral thesis 2021

Franci, B. (author), Grammatico, S. (author)We consider the stochastic generalized Nash equilibrium problem (SGNEP) with expected-value cost functions. Inspired by Yi and Pavel (2019), we propose a distributed generalized Nash equilibrium seeking algorithm based on the preconditioned forward-backward operator splitting for SGNEPs, where, at each iteration, the expected value of the...journal article 2021

van Ginkel, G.J. (author), van Gisbergen, Bart (author), Redig, F.H.J. (author)We study a model of active particles that perform a simple random walk and on top of that have a preferred direction determined by an internal state which is modelled by a stationary Markov process. First we calculate the limiting diffusion coefficient. Then we show that the ‘active part’ of the diffusion coefficient is in some sense maximal...journal article 2021
