Optimal Decisions with Limited Information: Overview Geir E. Dullerud University of Illinois PhD Defense: Ather Gattami Lund Institute of Technology June 8, 2007
Optimal Decisions with Limited Information • Global objective to attain. • How can a team of decision makers, each with different information about the world, achieve the objective?
System Team Problems y u Formulation.
destination source network source destination Data networks: Internet Attempt to achieve globally optimal utility: • sources and destinations on edge of network • transmision rates based partial observations inside
Example: UAVs Teams Boeing picture of UAVs removed Cooperative vehicle teams: • Military • Civilian
Example: Power Networks • Mission critical on large geographic scale • local control and observation • global stability
System Team and Centralized Problems y u Formulation.
Theme to Thesis • First solve the static case • Then consider dynamic case • Restrict to non-signaling case • Show the dynamic case can be solved using static approach
Single-Player Static Estimation: Other costs Stochastic Estimation Error-Operator Minimization
Optimal Distributed Filtering • static problem can be used to solve a type of distributed filtering problem, in conjunction with Kalman filtering (infinite horizon) • works for both 2-norm and infinity norm on transfer functions
Additional Contributions • Considered distributed control over infinite horizons (H-2 and H-infty); achieved via new approach for centralized state feedback case. • Quadratic control with non-convex power constraints; solve finite horizon non-stationary problem and extend to infinite horizon.
Questions Scalability of synthesis solutions? Significant examples worked? General architectures for distributed control? Minimax and Witsenhausen counter example? Exponential-of-Gaussian and minimax team problem? Some technical clarifications?
