Stability and control of a non-linear system represent an important system configuration that frequently arises in practical engineering. Stability covers a vast range of systems that do not obey the superposition principle and applies to…
Discrete-time systems cannot be passive unless there is a direct feedthrough from the input to the output. For passivity-based control to be exploited nevertheless, some authors introduce virtual outputs, while others rely on…
This paper deals with the output regulation problem of a linear time-invariant system in the presence of sporadically available measurement streams. A regulator with a continuous intersample injection term is proposed, where the intersample…
Synchronizability of stable, output-coupled, identical, time-varying linear systems is studied. It is shown that if the observability grammian satisfies a persistence of excitation condition, then there exists a bounded, time-varying linear…
