In this paper we address the problem of exploiting the distributed energy resources (DER) available in a smart micro-grid to minimize the power distribution losses via optimal reactive power compensation. Due to their typically small size, the amount of reactive power provided by each micro-generator is subject to tight saturation constraints. As a consequence, it might be impossible to achieve convergence to the global optimum based on algorithms that rely on short-range, gossip-type communication. We therefore propose a randomized multi-hop protocol that guarantees convergence of the distributed optimization algorithm also when only short-range communications are possible, at the expense of some additional communication overhead.

We consider the problem of robust pole assignment for a linear time invariant plant with state feedback subject to time delay in the control input. For systems with a known time delay, we offer a parametric formula for the feedback gain matrix that will assign a desired set of closed-loop eigenvalues to the time-delay system. Secondly we consider systems subject to small input time delays and introduce an unconstrained optimisation algorithm for the computation of a state feedback matrix to deliver the desired pole placement in a manner that minimises the sensitivity of the eigenvalues to input time delays. The performance of the algorithm is compared against an alternative robust pole placement method from the recent literature and found to give significantly reduced time delay sensitivity.

We consider a cooperative conflict resolution problem at traffic intersections. Our goal is to design a least restrictive supervisor able to identify the optimal corrections to a human-decided input with respect to a given performance index, while keeping the system safe. Here, safety is formulated in terms of a maximal safe controlled invariant set. Leveraging results from scheduling theory, we characterize the preorder of the optimal solution set and propose an efficient optimization algorithm providing Pareto optimal solutions. We illustrate the application of the proposed algorithm through simulations in which vehicles crossing an intersection are optimally overridden by the supervisor only when necessary to maintain safety.

In this paper, we consider the performance of distributed control algorithms for networked robotic systems when one or more robots fail to execute the optimal policy. In particular, we investigate the performance of the circumcenter algorithm with connectivity maintenance [1]-[3] when one or more adversarial agents act maliciously to maximally disrupt convergence of the remaining, cooperative agents. To this end, we formulate a performance objective for each adversary node in terms of the circumradii of its cooperative neighbors in a communication graph which does not require omniscience of adversaries as is often assumed in the literature (e.g., [4], [5]). We provide an optimization algorithm based on finite-horizon dynamic programming, and obtain solutions through numerical simulation. Our results show that in general adversarial nodes are able not only to impede convergence toward consensus, but can also affect global changes in the topology of the communication graph for the cooperative agents.

We present Cyclades, a general framework for parallelizing stochastic optimization algorithms in a shared memory setting. Cyclades is asynchronous during model updates, and requires no memory locking mechanisms, similar to Hog-??wild!-type algorithms. Unlike HOGWILD!, Cyclades introduces no conflicts during parallel execution, and offers a black-box analysis for provable speedups across a large family of algorithms. Due to its inherent cache locality and conflict-??free nature, our multi-core implementation of Cyclades consistently outperforms Hogwild!-type algorithms on sufficiently sparse datasets, leading to up to 40% speedup gains compared to Hogwild!, and up to 5× gains over asynchronous implementations of variance reduction algorithms.
