A Gauss-Newton-Like Hessian Approximation for Economic NMPC
Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) has recently become popular because of its ability to control constrained nonlinear systems while explicitly optimizing a prescribed performance criterion. Large performance gains have been reported for many applications and closed-loop stability has been recently investigated. However, computational performance still remains an open issue and only few contributions have proposed real-time algorithms tailored to EMPC. We perform a step towards computationally cheap algorithms for EMPC by proposing a new positive-definite Hessian approximation which does not hinder fast convergence and is suitable for being used within the real-time iteration (RTI) scheme. We provide two simulation examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of RTI-based EMPC relying on the proposed Hessian approximation.

A Gauss-Newton Method for Markov Decision Processes
Approximate Newton methods are a standard optimization tool which aim to maintain the benefits of Newton's method, such as a fast rate of convergence, whilst alleviating its drawbacks, such as computationally expensive c…
On the Promise of the Stochastic Generalized Gauss-Newton Method for Training DNNs
Following early work on Hessian-free methods for deep learning, we study a stochastic generalized Gauss-Newton method (SGN) for training DNNs. SGN is a second-order optimization method, with efficient iterations, that we…

We derive a sound positive semi-definite approximation of the Hessian of deep models for which Hessian-vector products are easily computable. This enables us to provide an adaptive SGD learning rate strategy based on the…
Newton-based maximum likelihood estimation in nonlinear state space models
Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation using Newton's method in nonlinear state space models (SSMs) is a challenging problem due to the analytical intractability of the log-likelihood and its gradient and Hessian. We estimat…
