Dynamic Programming for Finite Ensembles of Nanomagnetic Particles

The stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation describes magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic materials in a thermal bath. In this presentation I discuss the optimal control of a finite spin syste...

A Data-Driven Tensor Train Gradient Cross approximation for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations

Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation plays a central role in optimal control and differential games, enabling the computation of robust controls in feedback form. The main disadvantage for this appr...

Feedback control for hyperbolic balance laws

Physical systems such as gas networks are usually operated in a state of equilibrium and one is interested in stable systems, where small perturbations are damped over time. This talk is devoted to th...

Quinpi, or going implicit for nonlinear hyperbolic equations

Many interesting applications of hyperbolic systems of equations are stiff, in the sense that restrictive CFL conditions are imposed by fields that one is not really interested in tracking accurately....

Predictive control for non-linear collective dynamics and their mean-field limit

In this talk I will present the synthesis of control laws for interacting agent-based dynamics and their mean-field limit. In particular, a linearization-based approach is used for the computation of ...

A filtering monotonization technique for DG discretizations of hyperbolic problems

In this talk, I will introduce a filtering technique for Discontinuous Galerkin approximations of hyperbolic problems. After a brief overview of classical monotonization techniques, I will present an ...

Multi-lane vehicular flow models: the effects of lane changes on the traffic stability

This talk is devoted to the modeling and the stability of multi-lane traffic flow in the microscopic and macroscopic frameworks. First we present the study of a second order microscopic Follow-the-Lea...

A semi-Lagrangian/Lagrange-Galerkin method for mean field games problems

This talk is devoted to the numerical approximation of mean field games problems. We consider two cases: a first order problem, i.e the diffusion is null, and a second order problem. For the first one...

Multiscale Control of Stackelberg Games

We introduce a bilevel problem of the optimal control of an interacting agent system that can be interpreted as a Stackelberg game with a large number of followers. It is shown that the model is well ...

An optimal control approach to Reinforcement Learning

Optimal control and Reinforcement Learning (RL) deal both with sequential decision-making problems, although they use different tools. We have investigated the connection between these two research ar...

Data-driven multi-scale modeling of cancer

In this talk I will present how proteomic, nuclear medicine and imaging data can be used to model the patho-physiology of cancer at different scales, from single cell, through tissues to organs. The m...

Unconstrained optimization methods based on probabilistic models for supervised machine learning

Stochastic optimization algorithms are widely employed for problems arising in machine learning but significant issues in their use are open. In fact, tuning these algorithms for each application may ...
