Controllability of homogeneous single-leader networks
This paper addresses an aspect of controllability in a single-leader network when the agents are homogeneous. In such a network, indices are not assigned to the individual agents a...

A symbolic approach to controlling piecewise affine systems
Abstract-- We present a computational framework for automatic synthesis of a feedback control strategy for a piecewise affine (PWA) system from a specification given as a Linear Te...

Concentration of measure inequalities for compressive Toeplitz matrices with applications to detection and system identification
In this paper, we derive concentration of measure inequalities for compressive Toeplitz matrices (having fewer rows than columns) with entries drawn from an independent and identic...

Time-synchronization in mobile sensor networks from difference measurements
We examine distributed time-synchronization in mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. The problem is to estimate the skews and offsets of clocks of all the nodes with respect to an arb...

Pathologies of temporal difference methods in approximate dynamic programming
Approximate policy iteration methods based on temporal differences are popular in practice, and have been tested extensively, dating to the early nineties, but the associated conve...
