Event-based control using quadratic approximate value functions
Abstract— In this paper we consider several problems involving control with limited actuation and sampling rates. Event-based control has emerged as an attractive approach for ad...

Q-learning and Pontryagin's Minimum Principle
Abstract— Q-learning is a technique used to compute an optimal policy for a controlled Markov chain based on observations of the system controlled using a non-optimal policy. It ...

Stability of switched linear systems and the convergence of random products
— In this paper we give conditions that a discrete time switched linear systems must satisfy if it is stable. We do this by calculating the mean and covariance of the set of matr...

Metrics on the space of bounded Keplerian orbits and space situational awareness
— A main difficulty for orbit determination of space debris is the correlation of tracks of data belonging to the same physical object. A sequence of optical measurements of an ...

Collision-free tracking control of unicycle mobile robots
—We propose a tracking control with collision avoidance for a group of unicycle mobile robots. A supervisory system assigns to each robot its reference path, together with the de...
