Stabilization of polytopic delay difference inclusions: Time-varying control Lyapunov functions
This paper studies stabilization of polytopic delay difference inclusions via the Razumikhin approach. An example of a linear delay difference equation that is globally exponential...

Convergence rates of consensus algorithms in stochastic networks
Abstract-- We study the convergence rate of average consensus algorithms in networks with stochastic communication failures. We show how the system dynamics can be modeled by a dis...

Preference elicitation in Fully Probabilistic Design of decision strategies
Any systematic decision-making design selects a decision strategy that makes the resulting closed-loop behaviour close to the desired one. Fully Probabilistic Design (FPD) describe...

Consensus with robustness to outliers via distributed optimization
Over the past few years, a number of distributed algorithms have been developed for integrating the measurements acquired by a wireless sensor network. Among them, average consensu...

Distributed parameter estimation in networks
In this paper, we present a model of distributed parameter estimation in networks, where agents have access to partially informative measurements over time. Each agent faces a loca...

Adaptive-based, scalable design for autonomous multi-robot surveillance
In this paper the problem of positioning a team of mobile robots for a surveillance task in a non-convex environment with obstacles is considered. The robots are equipped with glob...

Causal observability of nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown inputs
This paper investigates the problem of causal observability of the states and unknown inputs of nonlinear time-delay systems. Using the theory of non-commutative rings, the nonline...

A state-based framework for supervisory control synthesis and verification
We extend an existing model-based framework for supervisory control synthesis with generalized control and verification state-based requirements. The former stem from the need for ...

Asymptotic achievability for linear time invariant state space systems
Abstract-- We consider here the problem of finding a controller such that when interconnected to the plant, we obtain a system which is asymptotically equivalent to a desired syste...

Structural characterization of optimal event-based controllers for linear stochastic systems
Abstract-- Recent results in networked control systems indicate substantial benefits of event-based control compared to conventional designs. This paper identifies structural prope...
