In this paper, we are interested in the relation between the solutions of the control system $\dot x=f(x,u)$ and the solutions of its (potentially unknown) perturbation $\dot x=f(x,u)+w(x,t).$ Under the assumption that the linear part of…
We design the controls of physical systems that are faced by uncertainties. The system dynamics are described by random hyperbolic balance laws. The control aims to steer the system to a desired state under uncertainties. We propose a…
We construct a patchy feedback for a general control system on $\R^n$ which realizes practical stabilization to a target set $\Sigma$, when the dynamics is constrained to a given set of states $S$. The main result is that $S$--constrained…

The local controllability of a rich class of affine nonlinear control systems with nonhomogeneous quadratic drift and constant control vector fields is analyzed. The interest in this particular class of systems stems from the ubiquity in…
Hydrodynamic systems arising in swarming modelling include nonlocal forces in the form of attractive-repulsive potentials as well as pressure terms modelling strong local repulsion. We focus on the case where there is a balance between…
Various controllability conditions have been obtained by researchers for heterogeneous networked systems with linear dynamics. However, the literature for nonlinear, heterogeneous networked systems is comparatively less. In this paper we…
Stability enforcement remains a challenge in data-driven control paradigms, where no parametrised model of the system is available. For instance, the system's instabilities can be estimated in order to enforce a closed-loop stability…
