This paper explores the observability and estimation capability of dynamical systems using predominantly relative measurements of the system's state-space variables, with minimal to no reliance on absolute measurements of these variables.…
This work proposes a detectability condition for linear time-varying systems based on the exponential dichotomy spectrum. The condition guarantees the existence of an observer, whose gain is determined only by the unstable modes of the…
Using a sensitive statistical test we determine whether or not one can detect the breakdown of linear response given observations of deterministic dynamical systems. A goodness-of-fit statistics is developed for a linear statistical model…
For linear control systems, the usual state feedback stabilizability has two components: one is a continuous observation mode (i.e., to observe solutions continuously in time), and the other is a class of feedback laws (which is usually the…
This paper deals with Networked Control Systems (NCSs) whose shared networks have limited communication capacity and are prone to data losses. We assume that among (N) plants, only (M < N) plants can communicate with their controllers at…
Influence diagram is a graphical representation of belief networks with uncertainty. This article studies the structural properties of a probabilistic model in an influence diagram. In particular, structural controllability theorems and…
In this paper, we study the problem of continuous-time state observation over lossy communication networks. We consider the situation in which the samplers for measuring the output of the plant are spatially distributed and their…
Robust state estimation in coupled dynamical systems depends critically not only on sensor quality but on the structural alignment between observation channels and the system's intrinsic dynamics. This paper develops a rigorous framework…
The concept of observability of linear systems initiated with Kalman in the mid 1950s. Roughly a decade later, the observability of nonlinear systems appeared. By such definitions a system is either observable or not. Continuous measures of…
Distinguishability and, by extension, observability are key properties of dynamical systems. Establishing these properties is challenging, especially when no analytical model is available and they are to be inferred directly from…
For a discrete-time linear system, we use data from a single open-loop experiment to design directly a feedback controller enforcing that a given (polyhedral) set of the state is invariant and given (polyhedral) constraints on the control…
We present a robust data-driven control scheme for an unknown linear system model with bounded process and measurement noise. Instead of depending on a system model in traditional predictive control, a controller utilizing data-driven…
In the present paper we consider controllability and observability of second order linear time invariant systems in matrix form. Without reducing into first order systems we show how the classical conditions for first order linear systems…
This work provides a framework for nonlinear model-free control of systems with unknown input-output dynamics, but outputs that can be controlled by the inputs. This framework leads to real-time control of the system such that a feasible…
Positive linear systems on arbitrary time scales are studied. The theory developed in the paper unifies and extends concepts and results known for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for a linear…
This paper considers the observability of nonlinear systems from a Koopman operator theoretic perspective--and in particular--the effect of symmetry on observability. We first examine an infinite-dimensional linear system (constructed using…
This paper is concerned with identifying linear system dynamics without the knowledge of individual system trajectories, but from the knowledge of the system's reachable sets observed at different times. Motivated by a scenario where the…
Temporal networks are a class of time-varying networks, which change their topology according to a given time-ordered sequence of static networks (known as subsystems). This paper investigates the reachability and controllability of…
This work addresses the design of a robust hybrid observer for discrete-time switched linear systems subject to unknown inputs and modeling errors. The observer herein proposed is synthesized, for the case when the active mode is unknown…
In this paper, we take a control-theoretic approach to answering some standard questions in statistical mechanics, and use the results to derive limitations of classical measurements. A central problem is the relation between systems which…
