This paper deals with the finite-time stabilization of a class of nonlinear infinite-dimensional systems. First, we consider a bounded matched perturbation in its linear form. It is shown that by using a set-valued function, both the…
Collaboration between interconnected cyber-physical systems is becoming increasingly pervasive. Time-delays in communication channels between such systems are known to induce catastrophic failure modes, like high frequency oscillations in…
We provide a class of methods for the identification of a linear system with delay of the shape $x^{(n)}(t) = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_{i}x^{(i)}(t) + bu(t-h)$. They allow the simultaneous identification of the parameters and delay, the…
We present a novel method to compute componentwise transient bounds, ultimate bounds, and invariant regions for a class of switching continuous-time linear systems with perturbation bounds that may depend nonlinearly on a delayed state. The…
This paper presents a computationally efficient robust model predictive control law for discrete linear time invariant systems subject to additive disturbances that may depend on the state and/or input norms. Despite the dependency being…
Time delays are a common perturbation in systems with many states, such as networked, distributed, or decentralized systems. Current methods analyzing the stability of large systems with time delay typically produce very conservative…
We complete the first step towards the resolution of several decades-old challenges in disturbance-robust adaptive control. For a scalar linear system with an unknown parameter for which no a priori bound is given, with a disturbance that…
Due to simplicity and strong stability guarantees, predictor feedback methods have stood as a popular approach for time delay systems since the 1950s. For time-varying delays, however, implementation requires computing a prediction horizon…
This book is an extension of my doctoral dissertation, focusing on techniques for analyzing stability (dissipativity) and achieving stabilization of linear systems that are characterized by non-trivial distributed delays. It specifically…
In process operations, it is desirable to manage the sensitivity of the system output against external disturbance in the form of finite $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain stabilization. This matter is, however, nonsensical for stochastic systems because…

Nonlinear dynamical systems are ubiquitous in nature and they are hard to forecast. Not only they may be sensitive to small perturbations in their initial conditions, but they are often composed of processes acting at multiple scales.…

In this paper, the model predictive control is designed for an interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) system with unknown time-varying delay in state and input vectors. The time-varying delay is a weird phenomenon that is appeared in almost…
This paper presents a constraint-enforcing control framework for a class of discrete-time strict-feedback nonlinear systems. The objective is to guarantee closed-loop stability while ensuring forward invariance of a prescribed safe set…
Sampling arises simultaneously with input and output delays in networked control systems. When the delay is left uncompensated, the sampling period is generally required to be sufficiently small, the delay sufficiently short, and, for…

While the asymptotic stability of positive linear systems in the presence of bounded time delays has been thoroughly investigated, the theory for nonlinear positive systems is considerably less well-developed. This paper presents a set of…
