Probabilistic mutual localization in multi-agent systems from anonymous position measures
Abstract-- Recent research on multi-agent systems has produced a plethora of decentralized controllers that implicitly assume various degrees of agent localization. However, many p...

Trajectory generation using sum-of-norms regularization
Abstract-- Many tracking problems are split into two subproblems, first a smooth reference trajectory is generated that meet the control design objectives, and then a closed loop c...

Maintaining connectivity among multiple agents in cyclic pursuit: A geometric approach
This paper studies the connectivity maintenance problem in linear and nonlinear cyclic pursuit, when different control gains are assigned to each agent. Feasibility/infeasibility c...

Nonholonomic source seeking in switching random fields
We consider the problem of designing controllers for nonholonomic mobile robots converging to the source (minimum) of a field. In addition to the mobility constraints posed by the ...

Construction of Lyapunov functions for piecewise-deterministic Markov processes
The purpose of this contribution is twofold: 1) to present for the first time a Lyapunov function that proves exponential ergodicity of a process studied by the authors in [1], whe...

Explicit solutions for root optimization of a polynomial family
Abstract-- Given a family of real or complex monic polynomials of fixed degree with one fixed affine constraint on their coefficients, consider the problem of minimizing the root r...

An adaptive-covariance-rank algorithm for the unscented Kalman filter
Abstract-- The Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a nonlinear estimator that is particularly well suited for complex nonlinear systems. In the UKF, the error covariance is estimated ...

Multichannel small-gain theorems for large scale networked systems
We consider large scale interconnected systems where some of the interconnections are characterized by uncertain bounded delays. The delays may for instance be due to a communicati...

On parameterized Lyapunov and control Lyapunov functions for discrete-time systems
This paper deals with the existence and synthesis of parameterized-(control) Lyapunov functions (p-(C)LFs) for discrete-time nonlinear systems that are possibly subject to constrai...
