We study control systems on the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold induced by vertical lifts of vector fields. The Vertical dynamics acts exclusively along the fibers, leaving the base point unchanged and reducing the system to a linear…
Networked control systems (NCS) are spatially distributed systems where communication among plants, sensors, actuators and controllers occurs in a shared communication network. NCS have been studied for the last ten years and important…
It is first shown that a smooth controllable system on a compact manifold is finite time controllable. The technique of proof is close to the one of Sussmann's orbit theorem, and no rank condition is required. This technique is also used to…
We prove the following theorem: Let Q be an isolated chain control set of a control-affine system on a smooth compact manifold M. If Q is uniformly hyperbolic without center bundle, then the lift of Q to the extended state space U x M,…
