The quantification of controllability and observability has recently received new interest in the context of large, complex networks of dynamical systems. A fundamental but computationally difficult problem is the placement or selection of…
Sufficient and necessary conditions are established for controllability of affine control systems where the control is constrained to a set whose convex hull contains the origin but is not necessarily, in contrast with previously known…
In this paper, we study stabilizability of discrete-time switched linear systems where the switching signal is considered as an arbitrary disturbance (and not a control variable). We characterize feedback stabilization via necessary and…
This paper proposes a framework for adaptively learning a feedback linearization-based tracking controller for an unknown system using discrete-time model-free policy-gradient parameter update rules. The primary advantage of the scheme over…
We report conditions on a switching signal that guarantee that solutions of a switched linear systems converge asymptotically to zero. These conditions are apply to continuous, discrete-time and hybrid switched linear systems, both those…
The paper deals with a non-linear system largely used in biology, which, in certain conditions and for particular coefficient values, becomes linear, with a linear diagram over a large range of time. It can be used as a veritable regulator…
In this paper, we characterize the accessibility of discrete-time linear control systems on Lie groups. Using an exceptional notion of derivative, we construct a subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}$ based on the infinitesimal automorphism of the…
In many practical applications of control theory some constraints on the state and/or on the control need to be imposed. In this paper, we prove controllability results for semilinear parabolic equations under positivity constraints on the…
In this paper we present a direct adaptive control method for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with a time-varying structure. We view the nonlinear systems as composed of a finite number of ``pieces,'' which are interpolated by…

A common goal in the control of a large network is to minimize the number of driver nodes or control inputs. Yet, the physical determination of control signals and the properties of the resulting control trajectories remain widely…
Two of the main paradigms used to build adaptive software employ different types of properties to capture relevant aspects of the system's run-time behavior. On the one hand, control systems consider properties that concern static aspects…
Biological systems perform an astonishing array of dynamical processes -- including development and repair, regulation, behavior and motor control, sensing and signaling, and adaptation, among others. Powered by the transduction of stored…
This paper discusses desirable properties of forecasting models in production systems. It then develops a family of models which are designed to satisfy these properties: highly customizable to capture complex patterns; accommodates a large…
Trajectory tracking of nonlinear dynamical systems with affine open-loop controls is investigated. The control task is to enforce the system state to follow a prescribed desired trajectory as closely as possible. We introduce exactly…
It has been known for some time that proportional output feedback will stabilize MIMO, minimum-phase, linear time-invariant systems if the feedback gain is sufficiently large. High-gain adaptive controllers achieve stability by…
