Deployment of an unreliable robotic sensor network for spatial estimation
This paper studies an optimal deployment problem for a network of robotic sensors moving in the real line. Given a spatial process of interest, each individual sensor sends a pack...

Slosh suppression by robust input shaping
Abstract-- The majority of slosh-control techniques have required feedback control to suppress liquid oscillations induced by container motion. However, input shaping is an alterna...

Weakly pulse-coupled oscillators: Heterogeneous delays lead to homogeneous phase
This paper studies the effect of heterogenous delays in networks of weakly pulse-coupled identical oscillators. We develop a new framework to study them by constructing a non-delay...

Feed forward initialization of hysteretic systems
Abstract-- The paper analyzes a strategy to force stepconvergent dynamical hysteretic systems to a well-defined output value using only feed forward. Due to the multi-valued input-...

Consensus in non-commutative spaces
Convergence analysis of consensus algorithms is revisited in the light of the Hilbert distance. The Lyapunov function used in the early analysis by Tsitsiklis is shown to be the Hi...

Integrator forwarding via dynamic scaling
The problem of integrator forwarding is revisited using the notion of dynamically scaled (control) Lyapunov function. A new class of dynamic stabilizing control laws is presented, ...

The behavior of linear time invariant RLC circuits
It is shown that just as we did for a purely resistive network [10], that circuit analysis is very simple if the elements are described not by potentials across and currents throug...

On the dissipativity of pseudorational behaviors
This paper studies dissipativity for a class of infinite-dimensional systems, called pseudorational, in the behavioral context. A basic equivalence condition for dissipativity is e...

On observability of switched differential-algebraic equations
Abstract-- We investigate observability of switched differential algebraic equations. The article primarily focuses on a class of switched systems comprising of two modes and a swi...

Bifurcation of singular arcs in an optimal control problem for cancer immune system interactions under treatment
A mathematical model for cancer treatment that includes immunological activity is considered as an optimal control problem. In the uncontrolled system there exist both a region of ...
