PredSLS: A System-Level Framework for Distributed Predictive Control

Yifei Wu, Jing Yu, Tongxin Li

IEEE Conference on Decision and Control

How can distributed controllers use predictions with limited communication?

PredSLS integrates forecasts directly into system level synthesis with locality constraints. Temporal decay of prediction effects supports finite horizon approximations, while spatial and temporal decomposition enable scalable computation across a network.

Leveraging Machine-Learned Advice in Strategic Interactions with No-Regret Learners

Tinashe Handina, Tongxin Li, Kishan Panaganti, Eric Mazumdar, Adam Wierman

A measure of advice quality connects simulators and payoff predictions to strategic performance. The paper establishes benefits of reliable advice for approximate Stackelberg play and limitations on simultaneously exploiting accurate advice and protecting against inaccurate advice.

PEARL: A Physics-Enhanced Adaptive Residual Learning Framework for PV Modeling

Yikai Lu, Yujie Chen, Tongxin Li

PEARL separates a physical photovoltaic simulator from a learned residual correction. A controlled benchmark compares several machine learning architectures and a coupled modeling baseline, examining accuracy while retaining the physical model as an interpretable reference.
