On the use of numerical methods for analysis and control of nonlinear convective systems
Abstract— A common approach to designing feedback controllers for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) is to linearize the system about an equilibrium and use the line...

Attitude consensus with fixed rotational axis via energy dissipation
A consensus control framework for the rotational dynamics of multiple spacecraft is developed. The approach is energy based and guarantees asymptotic convergence of relative state...

Fast computation of frequency response functions for a class of nonlinear systems
— One of the important and efficient tools in system analysis is the analysis of responses to harmonic excitations. For linear systems the information on such responses is conta...

Delta modulation for multivariable centralized linear networked controlled systems
—This paper investigates the closed-loop properties of multivariable (MIMO1 ) linear systems where the sensed information is centralized and coded on the basis of a ∆-modulatio...

Time-robust discrete control over networked Loosely Time-Triggered Architectures
In this paper we consider Loosely Time-Triggered Architectures (LTTA) as a networked infrastructure for deploying discrete control. LTTA are distributed architectures in which 1/ ...

A Partial order approach to decentralized control
— In this paper we employ the theory of partially ordered sets to model and analyze a class of decentralized control problems. We show that posets provide a natural way of modeli...

Iterative Risk Allocation: A new approach to robust Model Predictive Control with a joint chance constraint
Abstract— This paper proposes a novel two-stage optimization method for robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC) with Gaussian disturbance and state estimation error. Since the dis...
