One often wishes for the ability to formally analyze large-scale systems---typically, however, one can either formally analyze a rather small system or informally analyze a large-scale system. This work tries to further close this…
In networked control systems, communication resource constraints often necessitate the use of \emph{sparse} control input vectors. A prototypical problem is how to ensure controllability of a linear dynamical system when only a limited…
In this paper, existence conditions and a design procedure of reduced-order switched positive observers for continuous- and discrete-time switched positive linear systems with uncertainty are established. In the analyzed class, arbitrary…

We consider the problem of designing robust state-feedback controllers for discrete-time linear time-invariant systems, based directly on measured data. The proposed design procedures require no model knowledge, but only a single open-loop…
We propose a data-driven online convex optimization algorithm for controlling dynamical systems. In particular, the control scheme makes use of an initially measured input-output trajectory and behavioral systems theory which enable it to…
We present an algorithm for marginalising changepoints in time-series models that assume a fixed number of unknown changepoints. Our algorithm is differentiable with respect to its inputs, which are the values of latent random variables…
Applications from finance to epidemiology and cyber-security require accurate forecasts of dynamic phenomena, which are often only partially observed. We demonstrate that a system's predictability degrades as a function of temporal…
