As we move towards safety-critical cyber-physical systems that operate in non-stationary
and uncertain environments, it becomes crucial to close the gap between classical optimal …

A system level approach to regret optimal control

A Didier, J Sieber, MN Zeilinger - IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present an optimisation-based method for synthesising a dynamic regret optimal
controller for linear systems with potentially adversarial disturbances and known or …

Regret-optimal estimation and control

G Goel, B Hassibi - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this article, we consider estimation and control in linear dynamical systems from the
perspective of regret minimization. Unlike most prior work in this area, we focus on the …

Competitive control

G Goel, B Hassibi - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider control from the perspective of competitive analysis. Unlike much prior work on
learning-based control, which focuses on minimizing regret against the best controller …

Regret-optimal controller for the full-information problem

O Sabag, G Goel, S Lale… - 2021 American Control …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the infinite-horizon, discrete-time full-information control problem. Motivated by
learning theory, as a criterion for controller design we focus on regret, defined as the …

A distributionally robust approach to regret optimal control using the wasserstein distance
