Linear systems on Lie groups are a natural generalization of linear system on Euclidian spaces. For such systems, this paper studies controllability by taking in consideration the eigenvalues of an associated derivation D. When the state…

This paper presents a new approach to distributed controller design that exploits a partial-structure representation of linear time invariant systems to characterize the structure of a system. This partial-structure representation, called…
The main objective of this paper is to show that two asymptotically stable steady states which belong to an analytic path of asymptotically stable steady states can be gradually transferred one to the other by successive changes of the…

In this work, we present a new approach for constructing models for correlation matrices with a user-defined graphical structure. The graphical structure makes correlation matrices interpretable and avoids the quadratic increase of…
In this paper, we consider to what degree the structure of a linear system is determined by the system's input/output behavior. The structure of a linear system is a directed graph where the vertices represent the variables in the system…
This paper considers the notion of herdability, a set-based reachability condition, which asks whether the state of a system can be controlled to be element-wise larger than a non-negative threshold. The basic theory of herdable systems is…
