Conditions for the existence of a fixed spectrum \{i.e., the set of fixed modes\} for a multi-channel linear system have been known for a long time. The aim of this paper is to reestablish one of these conditions using a new and transparent…

In a "structured system" of equations, each equation depends on a specified subset of the variables. In this article, we explore properties common to "almost every" system with a fixed structure and how the properties can be read from the…
This paper deals with strong structural controllability of linear structured systems in which the system matrices are given by zero/nonzero/arbitrary pattern matrices. Instead of assuming that the nonzero and arbitrary entries of the system…
In formation control, an ensemble of autonomous agents is required to stabilize at a given configuration in the plane, doing so while agents are allowed to observe only a subset of the ensemble. As such, formation control provides a rich…
We report conditions on a switching signal that guarantee that solutions of a switched linear systems converge asymptotically to zero. These conditions are apply to continuous, discrete-time and hybrid switched linear systems, both those…
We present sufficient conditions under which a given linear nonautonomous system and its nonlinear perturbation are topologically conjugated. Our conditions are of a very general form and provided that the nonlinear perturbations are…
Modern data analysis depends increasingly on estimating models via flexible high-dimensional or nonparametric machine learning methods, where the identification of structural parameters is often challenging and untestable. In linear…
Recently, a model of a decentralized control system with local and remote controllers connected over unreliable channels was presented in [1]. The model has a non-classical information structure that is not partially nested. Nonetheless, it…
