In an open-loop experiment, an input sequence is applied to an unknown linear time-invariant system (in continuous or discrete time) affected also by an unknown-but-bounded disturbance sequence (with an energy or instantaneous bound); the…

We design receding horizon control strategies for stochastic discrete-time linear systems with additive (possibly) unbounded disturbances, while obeying hard bounds on the control inputs. We pose the problem of selecting an appropriate…

Predictive control, which is based on a model of the system to compute the applied input optimizing the future system behavior, is by now widely used. If the nominal models are not given or are very uncertain, data-driven model predictive…

In a recent paper it was shown how a matrix S-lemma can be applied to construct controllers from noisy data. The current paper complements these results by proving a matrix version of the classical Finsler's lemma. This matrix Finsler's…

Data-driven and adaptive control approaches face the problem of introducing sudden distributional shifts beyond the distribution of data encountered during learning. Therefore, they are prone to invalidating the very assumptions used in…

We study the problem of \textit{safe control of linear dynamical systems corrupted with non-stochastic noise}, and provide an algorithm that guarantees (i) zero constraint violation of convex time-varying constraints, and (ii) bounded…

This work proposes a data-driven regulator design that drives the output of a nonlinear system asymptotically to a time-varying reference and rejects time-varying disturbances. The key idea is to design a data-driven feedback controller…

Learning stabilizing controllers from data is an important task in engineering applications; however, collecting informative data is challenging because unstable systems often lead to rapidly growing or erratic trajectories. In this work,…
