Diagnosability of hybrid automata with measurement uncertainty
— We propose a diagnosability notion that depends on two parameters denoted as (δd, δm) for the general class of transition systems where the observable output is given by disc...

Sensitivity analysis and computational uncertainty with applications to control of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equa
— In this paper we illustrate how sensitivities can be used to provide a practical precursor to dynamic transitions and numerical uncertainty in parameterized nonlinear parabolic...

Equivalence between Approximate Dynamic Inversion and Proportional-Integral control
—Approximate Dynamic Inversion (ADI) has been established as a method to control minimum-phase, nonaffine-incontrol systems. Previous results have shown that for single-input no...

Weight selection for gap robustness with degree-constrained controllers
— In modern robust control, control synthesis may be cast as an interpolation problem where the interpolant relates to robustness and performance criteria. In particular, robustn...

Control formula for nonlinear systems subject to convex input constraints using control Lyapunov functions
— In this paper, we propose a two-step controller design method with control Lyapunov functions (CLFs) for nonlinear systems with convex input constraints. In the first step, we...

Convex duality and entropy-based moment closures: Characterizing degenerate densities
A common method for constructing a function from a finite set of moments is to solve a constrained minimization problem. The idea is to find, among all functions with the given ...
