In this paper, we discuss a distributed control architecture, aimed at networks with linear and time-invariant dynamics, which is amenable to convex formulations for controller design. The proposed approach is well suited for large scale…
Many real-world systems are composed of many individual components that interact with one another in a complex pattern to produce diverse behaviors. Understanding how to intervene in these systems to guide behaviors is critically important…
Control of large-scale networked systems often necessitates the availability of complex models for the interactions amongst the agents. However in many applications, building accurate models of agents or interactions amongst them might be…
A classical approach to design controllers for interconnected systems is to assume that the different subsystems operate at different time scales, then design simpler controllers within each time scale, and finally certify stability of the…
This paper introduces a continuous-time constrained nonlinear control scheme which implements a model predictive control strategy as a continuous-time dynamic system. The approach is based on the idea that the solution of the optimal…
This paper discusses fully coherent quantum feedback control, in which the sensors, controller, and actuators are quantum systems and interact coherently with the system to be controlled: as a result, the entire feedback loop is coherent.…
A key issue in the control of distributed discrete systems modeled as Markov decisions processes, is that often the state of the system is not directly observable at any single location in the system. The participants in the control scheme…
The power interactions of any component in electric energy systems with the rest of the system happen naturally, as governed by the energy conservation principles. There may, however, occur instances when the rate at which power gets…
Imagine having a system to control and only know that it belongs to a certain class of dynamical systems. Would it not be amazing to simply plug in a controller and have it work as intended? With the rise of in-context learning and powerful…

We revisit the behavioral approach to systems theory and make explicit the abstract pattern that governs it. Our end goal is to use that pattern to understand interaction-related phenomena that emerge when systems interact. Rather than…
We study the controller implementability problem, which seeks to determine if a controller can make the closed-loop behavior of a given plant match that of a desired reference behavior. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for…
