Balancing of partially-observed stochastic differential equations
Abstract— We study Balanced Truncation for stochastic differential equations. In doing so, we adopt ideas from large deviations theory and discuss notions of controllability and ...

A repetitive process approach to the control of self-servowriting in disk drives
Abstract— This paper considers the control problem for selfservowriting in disk drives where information propagation occurs in two independent directions, i.e. time and track num...

Dynamic spectrum access policies for cognitive radio
—We study the problem of dynamic spectrum sensing and access in cognitive radio systems as a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP). A group of cognitive users cooper...

An alternative approach to designing stabilizing compensators for saturating linear time-invariant plants
Abstract— We present a new methodology for designing lowgain linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers for semi-global stabilization of an LTI plant with actuator saturation, that ...
