A recent approach to the control of underactuated systems is to look for control laws which will induce some specified structure on the closed loop system. This basic idea is used in several papers already. In this paper, we will describe…
In this paper, we study the concept of approximate controllability of retarded network systems of neutral type. On one hand, we reformulate such systems as free-delay boundary control systems on product spaces. On the other hand, we use the…
Motivated by an open problem posed by J.P. Hespanha, we extend the notion of Barabanov norm and extremal trajectory to classes of switching signals that are not closed under concatenation. We use these tools to prove that the finiteness of…
This paper considers a class of thrust vectoring systems, which are nonlinear, overactuated, and time-invariant. We assume that the system is composed of two subsystems and there exist singular points around which the linearized system is…
Reparable systems are systems that are characterized by their ability to undergo maintenance actions when failures occur. These systems are often described by transport equations, all coupled through an integro-differential equation. In…
We consider controllable linear discrete-time systems with bounded perturbations and present two methods to compute robust controlled invariant sets. The first method tolerates an arbitrarily small constraint violation to compute an…
We consider a system of an arbitrary number of \textsc{1d} linear Schr\"odinger equations on a bounded interval with bilinear control. We prove global exact controllability in large time of these $N$ equations with a single control. This…
In this paper, we extend well-known relationships between global asymptotic controllability, sample stabilizability, and the existence of a control Lyapunov function to a wide class of control systems with unbounded controls, which includes…
In this work, we will investigate the question of optimal control for bilinear systems with constrained endpoint. The optimal control will be characterized through a set of unconstrained minimization problems that approximate the former.…
In this paper, a nonlinear system aiming at reducing the signal transmission rate in a networked control system is constructed by adding nonlinear constraints to a linear feedback control system. Its stability is investigated in detail. It…
We prove controllability results for abstract systems of weakly coupled $N$ evolution equations in cascade by a reduced number of boundary or locally distributed controls ranging from a single up to $N-1$ controls. We give applications to…
In this work, we consider the controllability of a discrete-time linear dynamical system with sparse control inputs. Sparsity constraints on the input arises naturally in networked systems, where activating each input variable adds to the…
This document explores structural controllability of polynomial dynamical systems or polysystems. We extend Lin's concept of structural controllability for linear systems, offering hypergraph-theoretic methods to rapidly assess strong…
Lyapunov redesign is a classical technique that uses a nominal control and its corresponding nominal Lyapunov function to design a discontinuous control, such that it compensates the uncertainties and disturbances. In this paper, the idea…
In the paper, we introduce and address the problem of structural averaged controllability for linear ensemble systems. We provide examples highlighting the differences between this problem and others. In particular, we show that structural…
The control of chaotic systems implies inducing an unpredictable system to follow a desired trajectory using the smallest "force". In low-dimensional continuous systems, one method is that of reconstructing the tangent space, so that the…
The goal of the present article is to study controllability properties of mixed systems of linear parabolic-transport equations, with possibly non-diagonalizable diffusion matrix, on the one-dimensional torus. The equations are coupled by…
A notion of $L^p$-exact controllability is introduced for linear controlled (forward) stochastic differential equations, for which several sufficient conditions are established. Further, it is proved that the $L^p$-exact controllability,…
We discuss a class of linear control problems in a Hilbert space setting. This class encompasses such diverse systems as port-Hamiltonian systems, Maxwell's equations with boundary control or the acoustic equations with boundary control and…
We consider a linear Schr\"odinger equation, on a bounded interval, with bilinear control. Beauchard and Laurent proved that, under an appropriate non degeneracy assumption, this system is controllable, locally around the ground state, in…
