Time-varying path following control for port-Hamiltonian systems
This paper is devoted to path following control for port-Hamiltonian systems whose desired path is timevarying. Most of the existing results on path following can only take care of...

The asymmetric sinistral/dextral Markov-Dubins problem
Abstract-- We consider a variation of the classical MarkovDubins problem dealing with curvature-constrained, shortest paths in the plane with prescribed initial and terminal positi...

Bertrand games between multi-class queues
We develop a framework to study differentiated services when there are competing network providers. We adopt a multi-class queueing model, where providers post prices for various s...

Asynchronous distributed optimization with minimal communication and connectivity preservation
Abstract-- We consider problems where multiple agents cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchan...

Beyond local optimality: An improved approach to hybrid model learning
Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...

Stochastic optimization for Markov modulated networks with application to delay constrained wireless scheduling
Abstract-- We consider a wireless system with a small number of delay constrained users and a larger number of users without delay constraints. We develop a scheduling algorithm th...

A graph-theoretic approach to distributed control over networks
We consider a network of control systems connected over a graph. Considering the graph structure as constraints on the set of permissible controllers, we show that such systems ar...

Cell design in bacteria as a convex optimization problem
In this paper, we investigate the cell design of bacteria during the exponential growth. To this purpose, we propose to formulate the problem as a non differentiable convex optimiz...

Adaptive control using retrospective cost optimization with RLS-based estimation for concurrent Markov-parameter updating
We present a discrete-time adaptive control law that is effective for systems that are MIMO and either minimum phase or nonminimum phase. The adaptive control algorithm provides gu...
