Moment-based analysis of synchronization in small-world networks of oscillators
— In this paper, we investigate synchronization in a small-world network of coupled nonlinear oscillators. This network is constructed by introducing random shortcuts in a neares...

A distributed newton method for network optimization
— Most existing work uses dual decomposition and subgradient methods to solve network optimization problems in a distributed manner, which suffer from slow convergence rate prope...

Quotient method for controlling the acrobot
— This paper describes a two-sweep control design method to stabilize the acrobot, an input-affine under-actuated system, at the upper equilibrium point. In the forward sweep, t...

A state transfer principle for switching port-Hamiltonian systems
— Instantaneous charge/flux transfers may occur in switched electrical circuits when the switch configuration changes. Characterization of such state discontinuities is a class...

Modal and transition dwell time computation in switching systems: a set-theoretic approach
We consider a plant the dynamics of which switch among a family of systems. Each of these systems has a single stable equilibrium point. We assume that a constraint region for the...

Learning approaches to the Witsenhausen counterexample from a view of potential games
— Since Witsenhausen put forward his remarkable counterexample in 1968, there have been many attempts to develop efficient methods for solving this non-convex functional optimiz...

On algebraic time-derivative estimation and deadbeat state reconstruction
— This paper places into perspective the so-called algebraic time-derivative estimation method recently introduced by Fliess and co-authors with standard results from linear stat...

Nonlinear control of a buoyancy-driven airship
— The control of a new kind of airship is presented. By restricting its flight to a vertical plane, the mathematical model is reduced. The simplified model is proved to be mini...
