Robust Data-Driven Control of Discrete-Time Linear Systems With Errors in Variables

Jared Miller;Tianyu Dai;Mario Sznaier

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control

Year: 2025 | Volume: 70, Issue: 2 | Journal Article |

HTML

This article presents a sum of squares (SOS)-based framework to perform data-driven stabilization and robust control tasks on discrete-time linear systems where the full-state observations are corrupted by

$\ell ^\infty$ bounded input, measurement, and process noise (error in variable setting). Certificates of full-state-feedback robust performance, superstabilization or quadratic stabilization of...Show More

Convex Computation of Value-at-Risk Bounds for Stochastic Processes

Jared Miller;Matteo Tacchi;Mario Sznaier;Ashkan Jasour

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control

Year: 2024 | Early Access Article |

This paper formulates algorithms to upper-bound the maximum Value-at-Risk (VaR) of a state function along trajectories of stochastic processes. The VaR is upper bounded by two methods: minimax tail-bounds (Cantelli/Vysochanskij-Petunin) and Expected Shortfall/Conditional Value-at-Risk (ES). Tail-bounds lead to an infinite-dimensional Second Order Cone Program (SOCP) in occupation measures, while t...Show More

2024 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)

Year: 2024 | Conference Paper |

HTML

Solving image and video jigsaw puzzles poses the chal-lenging task of rearranging image fragments or video frames from unordered sequences to restore meaningful images and video sequences. Existing approaches often hinge on discriminative models tasked with predicting either the absolute positions of puzzle elements or the permutation actions applied to the original data. Unfortunately, these meth...Show More

2024 American Control Conference (ACC)

Year: 2024 | Conference Paper |

HTML

This paper focuses on the stabilization and regulation of linear systems affected by quantization in state-transition data and in actuated input. The observed data are composed of tuples of current state, input, and the next state's interval ranges based on sensor quantization. Using an established characterization of input-logarithmically-quantized stabilization based on robustness to sector-boun...Show More

IEEE Control Systems Letters

Year: 2024 | Volume: 8 | Journal Article |

HTML

This letter proposes a framework to perform verifiably safe control of all discrete-time non-linear systems that are compatible with collected data. Most safety-maintaining control synthesis algorithms (e.g., control barrier functions, density functions) are limited to obtaining theoretical guarantees of safety in continuous-time, even while their implementation on real systems is typically in dis...Show More

Data-Driven Superstabilizing Control Under Quadratically-Bounded Errors-in-Variables Noise

Jared Miller;Tianyu Dai;Mario Sznaier

IEEE Control Systems Letters

Year: 2024 | Volume: 8 | Journal Article |

HTML

The Errors-in-Variables model of system identification/control involves nontrivial input and measurement corruption of observed data, resulting in generically nonconvex optimization problems. This letter performs full-state-feedback stabilizing control of all discrete-time linear systems that are consistent with observed data for which the input and measurement noise obey quadratic bounds. Instanc...Show More

IEEE Control Systems Letters

Year: 2024 | Volume: 8 | Journal Article |

HTML

In this letter, we introduce novel tractable approximations for robust Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problems. We present various Quadratic Matrix Inequalities (QMIs) that enable us to characterize the effect of ellipsoidal uncertainty in the robust problem. These formulations are expressed in terms of a set of auxiliary decision variables, which facilitate the derivation of a generalized S-proce...Show More

Efficient Identification of Error-in-Variables Switched Systems Using a Riemannian Embedding

Mario Sznaier;Xikang Zhang;Octavia Camps

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control

Year: 2024 | Volume: 69, Issue: 2 | Journal Article |

HTML

This article considers the problem of error in variables identification for switched affine models. Since it is well known that this problem is generically NP-hard, several relaxations have been proposed in the literature. However, while these approaches work well for low-dimensional systems with few subsystems, they scale poorly with both the number of subsystems and their memory. To address this...Show More

Inspired by the work of Tsiamis et al. [1], in this paper we study the statistical hardness of learning to stabilize linear time-invariant systems. Hardness is measured by the number of samples required to achieve a learning task with a given probability. The work in [1] shows that there exist system classes that are hard to learn to stabilize with the core reason being the hardness of identificat...Show More

This letter presents a tractable framework for data-driven synthesis of robustly safe control laws. Given noisy experimental data and some priors about the structure of the system, the goal is to synthesize a state feedback law such that the trajectories of the closed loop system are guaranteed to avoid an unsafe set even in the presence of unknown but bounded disturbances (process noise).

We present a novel approach to the problem of learning the behavior of dynamical systems for the purpose of robust control design.

This work proposes an algorithm to bind the minimum distance between points on trajectories of a dynamical system and points on an unsafe set. Prior work on certifying safety of trajectories includes barrier and density methods, which do not provide a margin of proximity to the unsafe set in terms of distance. The distance estimation problem is relaxed to a Monge–Kantorovich-type optimal transport...Show More

This paper presents a method to lower-bound the distance of closest approach between points on an unsafe set and points along system trajectories. Such a minimal distance is a quantifiable and interpretable certificate of safety of trajectories, as compared to prior art in barrier and density methods which offers a binary indication of safety/unsafety.

This paper considers the problem of learning models to be used for controller design. Using a simple example, it argues that in this scenario the objective should reflect the closed-loop, rather than open-loop distance between the learned model and the actual plant, a task that can be accomplished by using a gap metric motivated approach. This is particularly important when identifying open-loop u...Show More

This paper proposes a method to find super-stabilizing controllers for discrete-time linear systems that are consistent with a set of corrupted observations. The L-infinity bounded measurement noise introduces a bilinearity between the unknown plant parameters and noise terms.

Peak estimation bounds extreme values of a function of state along trajectories of a dynamical system.

Recently, there has been renewed interest in data-driven control, that is, the design of controllers directly from observed data. In the case of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, several approaches have been proposed that lead to tractable optimization problems. On the other hand, the case of nonlinear dynamics is considerably less developed, with existing approaches limited to at most rational...Show More

Semidefinite programs (SDP) are a staple of today’s systems theory, with applications ranging from robust control to systems identification. However, current state-of-the art solution methods have poor scaling properties, and thus are limited to relatively moderate size problems. Recently, several approximations have been proposed where the original SDP is relaxed to a sequence of lower complexity...Show More
