STLCCP: Efficient Convex Optimization-Based Framework for Signal Temporal Logic Specifications [PDF]
Signal temporal logic (STL) is a powerful formalism for specifying various temporal properties in dynamical systems. However, existing methods, such as mixed-integer programming and nonlinear programming, often struggle to efficiently solve control ...

On the Rate of Convergence of the Difference-of-Convex Algorithm (DCA) [PDF]
In this paper, we study the non-asymptotic convergence rate of the DCA (difference-of-convex algorithm), also known as the convex–concave procedure, with two different termination criteria that are suitable for smooth and non-smooth decompositions ...

Convex-Concave Backtracking for Inertial Bregman Proximal Gradient Algorithms in Non-Convex Optimization [PDF]
Backtracking line-search is an old yet powerful strategy for finding a better step sizes to be used in proximal gradient algorithms. The main principle is to locally find a simple convex upper bound of the objective function, which in turn controls the ...

An indefinite concave-convex equation under a Neumann boundary condition II [PDF]
We proceed with the investigation of the problem $$ -\Delta u = \lambda b(x)|u|^{q-2}u +a(x)|u|^{p-2}u \quad \mbox{in } \Omega, \qquad \frac{\partial u}{\partial \n} = 0\quad \mbox{on } \partial \Omega, \leqno{(\rom{P}_\lambda)} $$% where $\Omega$ is a ...

Energy Efficient Joint Power Optimization for Full-Duplex Relaying
Full-duplex (FD) relaying is a promising technology for the next generation communication systems. In this paper, we aim to jointly optimize the source and relay transmit powers to maximize the energy efficiency (EE) for both amplify-and-forward (AF) and
