Given a discrete-state continuous-time reactive system, like a digital circuit, the classical approach is to first model it as a state transition system and then prove its properties. Our contribution advocates a different approach: to…
Backward reachability (also termed controllability) has been extensively studied in control theory, and tools for a wide class of systems have been developed. Nevertheless, assessing a backward reachability analysis or synthesis remains…

The paper is an attempt to generalize a methodology, which is similar to the bounded-input bounded-output method currently widely used for the system stability studies. The presented earlier methodology allows decomposition of input space…

Besides parametric uncertainties and disturbances, the unmodeled dynamics and time delay at the input are often present in practical systems, which cannot be ignored in some cases. This paper aims to solve output feedback tracking control…
We establish a separation principle for the output feedback stabilisation of state-affine systems that are observable at the stabilization target. Relying on control templates (recently introduced in [4]), that allow to approximate a…

Robust performance of control schemes for open quantum systems is investigated under classical uncertainties in the generators of the dynamics and nonclassical uncertainties due to decoherence and initial state preparation errors. A…
We propose a method of classifying the operation of a system into finitely many modes. Each mode has its own objectives for the system's behaviour and its own mathematical models and algorithms designed to accomplish its objectives. A…
Target output controllers aim at regulating a system's target outputs by placing poles of a suitable subsystem using partial state feedback, where full state controllability is not required. This paper establishes existence conditions for…
Generally, the normal displacement-based formation control has a sensing mode that requires the agent not only to have certain knowledge of its direction, but also to gather its local information characterized by nonnegative coupling…
