Towards perpetual flight of a gliding unmanned aerial vehicle in the jet stream
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the potential of a selfpowered gliding aircraft to remain aloft indefinitely. We focus specifically on operations in the jet stream where pe...

A numerical method for the optimal control of switched systems
Switched dynamical systems have shown great utility in modeling a variety of systems. Unfortunately, the determination of a numerical solution for the optimal control of such syste...

Robust controller design by convex optimization based on finite frequency samples of spectral models
Abstract-- Some frequency-domain controller design problems are solved using a finite number of frequency samples. Consequently, the performance and stability conditions are not gu...

Retrospective cost adaptive control for nonminimum-phase discrete-time systems, part 1: The ideal controller and error system
We present a direct adaptive controller for discrete-time (and thus sampled-data) systems that are possibly nonminimum phase. The adaptive control algorithm requires limited model ...

The role of social feedback in steady-state performance of human decision making for two-alternative choice tasks
With an eye towards design of human-in-the-loop systems, we investigate human decision making in a social context for tasks that require the human to make repeated choices among fi...

On the internal dynamics of formations of unicycle robots
This paper studies a general class of formations of unicycle robots. One of the robots plays the role of the leader and the formation is induced through a constraint function F tha...

A lower bound for distributed averaging algorithms on the line graph
We derive lower bounds on the convergence speed of a widely used class of distributed averaging algorithms. In particular, we prove that any distributed averaging algorithm whose ...

Distributed iterative regularization algorithms for monotone Nash games
In this paper, we consider the development of single-timescale schemes for the distributed computation of Nash equilibria. In general, equilibria associated with convex Nash games ...
