To apply time-varying port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) systems to practical control designs, two basic problems should be dealt with: one is how to provide such time-varying syst...
Switched linear systems have a long history of interest in the control community, and have attracted considerable attention recently because they are not only practically relevant...
For a lumped parameter model of a flow network driven by a periodic generator, we apply averaging to find an approximate solution and analyze its stability. The approximate soluti...
: This work proposes a systematic methodology for the optimal selection of controller parameters, in the sense of minimizing a performance index which is a quadratic function of th...
The agreement problem is studied whereby a group of mobile agents achieves convergence to a common point. A hierarchical cyclic pursuit scheme is introduced, and it is shown that ...
