Abstract
This talk focuses on optimization problems over graphs and their
distributed solution. We consider optimization problems whose
solution
is to be computed by multiple computation units with bounded memory,
computation capability, and communication capabilities. Problems of
this
sort may arise when trying to optimize a global cost function in sensor
or robotic networks. We identify a novel class of distributed
optimization problems, namely a network version of abstract linear
programming. For such problems we propose distributed algorithms for
networks with various connectivity and/or memory constraints.
We establish the algorithms correctness and we analyze their time
complexity via a MonteCarlo analysis. Finally, we show how these
algorithms can be applied to solve suitable
target localization and formation control problems.
Biographical Information
Giuseppe Notarstefano is ``ricercatore'' (Assistant Professor) at the
University of Lecce (Italy) since February 2007. He received the Laurea
degree ``summa cum laude'' in Electronics Engineering from the
University of Pisa (Italy) in 2003. He received the PhD degree in
"Automatica e Ricerca Operativa" (Automation and Operation Research)
from the University of Padova (Italy) in April 2007 under the advise of
R. Frezza, J. Hauser (University of Colorado Boulder) and F. Bullo
University of California Santa Barbara). He was visiting student at the
University of California, Santa Barbara and at the University of
Colorado, Boulder. He is currently the Principal Investigator for the
University of Lecce in the European Research project CHAT. He has been
collaborating with several industrial companies working on vehicle
dynamics, simulation and control. His research interests include
trajectory optimization and tracking of nonlinear systems, applied
nonlinear optimal control, dynamics, control and trajectory
optimization
of (aerial) vehicles, distributed optimization and motion coordination
in multi-agent networks. |
