Riccati conditioning and sensitivity for a MinMax controlled cable-mass system
— In this paper we study the relationship between the parameter θ, used in the design of the MinMax controller, and the conditioning of the approximate algebraic Riccati equatio...

New results in optimal quadratic supply rates
— This paper concerns studying dissipativity of a system with supply rates that depend on one or more parameters. We show that suitable choice of supply rate turns out to make di...

MPC for tracking with optimal closed-loop performance
— This paper deals with the tracking problem for constrained linear systems using a model predictive control (MPC) law. As it is well known, MPC provides a control law suitable f...

A Lyapunov approach to second-order sliding mode controllers and observers
— In this paper a strong Lyapunov function is obtained, for the first time, for the supertwisting algorithm, an important class of second order sliding modes (SOSM). This algori...

The pontryagin maximum principle applied to nonholonomic mechanics
— We introduce a method which allows one to recover the nonholonomic equations of motion of certain systems by instead finding a Hamiltonian via Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle...
