Self-triggered control is an improvement on event-triggered control methods. Unlike the latter, self-triggered control does not require monitoring the behavior of the system constantly. Instead, self-triggered algorithms predict the events…

We address the problem of designing an LQR controller in a distributed setting, where M similar but not identical systems share their locally computed policy gradient (PG) estimates with a server that aggregates the estimates and computes a…
Continuous-time adaptive controllers for systems with a matched uncertainty often comprise an online parameter estimator and a corresponding parameterized controller to cancel the uncertainty. However, such methods are often impossible to…

Parameters of a virtual synchronous machine in a small microgrid are optimised. The dynamical behaviour of the system is simulated after a perturbation, where the system needs to return to its steady state. The cost functional evaluates the…
