A hopf-algebraic formula for compositions of noncommuting flows
Abstract— The Chen-Fliess series is known to be an exponential Lie series. Previously explicit formulas for the iterated integral coefficients were known only for its factorizat...

Probabilistic testing for stochastic hybrid systems
— In this paper we propose a testing based method for safety/ reachability analysis of stochastic hybrid systems. Testing based methods are characterized by analysis based on the...

Rendezvous without coordinates
— We study minimalism in sensing and control by considering a multi-agent system in which each agent moves like a Dubins car and has a limited sensor that reports only the presen...

Robust limit cycle control in an attitude control system with switching-constrained actuators
Abstract— In this paper the robust behavior in some piecewise affine systems with minimally spaced transition times is studied. Such systems are found e.g. in satellites and sat...

Open and emerging control problems in tokamak plasma control
— The tokamak concept for magnetic confinement of fusion plasmas is now quite mature scientifically. This maturity is evidenced by the ongoing worldwide effort to design and cons...

Stabilization of closed sets for passive systems, part I: Reduction principles
— Given an unforced nonlinear system and two nested closed and invariant sets Γ ⊂ O, we present reduction principles allowing one to extrapolate the properties of stability, a...

On the existence of Zeno behavior in hybrid systems with non-isolated Zeno equilibria
Abstract— This paper presents proof-certificate based sufficient conditions for the existence of Zeno behavior in hybrid systems near non-isolated Zeno equilibria. To establish...

Stability analysis for neural networks with time-varying delay
— This paper studies the problem of stability analysis for neural networks (NNs) with a time-varying delay. The activation functions are assumed to be neither monotonic, nor diff...

Floquet transformations for discrete-time systems: Equivalence between periodic systems and time-invariant ones
— This paper considers discrete-time periodic linear systems and their Floquet transformations, by which the periodic systems can be equivalently transformed to time-invariant on...

Application of the proximal center decomposition method to distributed model predictive control
Abstract— In this paper we present a dual-based decomposition method, called here the proximal center method, to solve distributed model predictive control (MPC) problems for cou...
