Exponential stability region estimates for the State-Dependent Riccati Equation controllers
We investigate the nonlinear exponential stability of the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE)-based control. The SDRE technique is a nonlinear control method, which has emerged...

Sensor selection for hypothesis testing in wireless sensor networks: a Kullback-Leibler based approach
We consider the problem of selecting a subset of p out of n sensors for the purpose of event detection, in a wireless sensor network (WSN). Occurrence or not of the event of intere...

Reachability analysis for a class of Petri nets
In this paper, we study the reachability problem for the class of (strictly) monotone Petri nets that we define based on algebraic conditions. More specifically, given a (strictly)...
