We consider a class of systems over finite alphabets, namely discrete-time systems with linear dynamics and a finite input alphabet. We formulate a notion of finite uniform bisimulation, and motivate and propose a notion of regular finite…
We propose a model of feedforward (open-loop) optical control of two-level atom in the linearized form. This model allows to express the general form of solution for the atomic level populations via the arbitrary shapes of the control…

In this paper, we explore the normal form of fully inhomogeneous feed forward network dynamical systems, characterized by a nilpotent linear component. We introduce a new normal form method, termed the triangular $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-style, to…
There is a growing interest in data-driven control of nonlinear systems over the last years. In contrast to related works, this paper takes a step back and aims to solve the output matching problem, a problem closely related to the…
An input pair $(A,B)$ is triangular input normal if and only if $A$ is triangular and $AA^* + BB^* = I_n$, where $I_n$ is theidentity matrix. Input normal pairs generate an orthonormal basis for the impulse response. Every input pair may be…
For homogeneous bilinear control systems, the control sets are characterized using a Lie algebra rank condition for the induced systems on projective space. This is based on a classical Diophantine approximation result. For affine control…
A bi-Hamiltonian formulation is proposed for triangular systems resulted by perturbations around solutions, from which infinitely many symmetries and conserved functionals of triangular systems can be explicitly constructed, provided that…
The note focuses on the differential geometric approach to the study of nonlinear systems that are affine in control. We first develop normal forms for nonlinear system affine in control. Based on these normal forms, we then address the…
We study tracking control for uncertain nonlinear multi-input, multi-output systems modelled by $r$-th order functional differential equations (encompassing systems with arbitrary strict relative degree) in the presence of input…
Our main purpose is to give multiple examples for using the available implementations for computing the normalization of an affine ring, computing the minimial generators of the normalization as an algebra over the original ring and…
A control design approach is developed for a general class of uncertain strict-feedback-like nonlinear systems with dynamic uncertain input nonlinearities with time delays. The system structure considered in this paper includes a nominal…
This paper is motivated by the problem of asymptotically stabilizing invariant sets in the state space of control systems by means of output feedback. The sets considered are smooth embedded in submanifolds and the class of system is…
We revisit the problem of computing (robust) controlled invariant sets for discrete-time linear systems. Departing from previous approaches, we consider implicit, rather than explicit, representations for controlled invariant sets.…
We propose an algorithmic test to check whether a two-input system is linearizable by an endogenous dynamic feedback with a dimension of at most two. This test furthermore provides a procedure for systematically deriving flat outputs for…
We present three dynamic error feedback controllers for robust output regulation of regular linear systems. These controllers are (i) a minimal order robust controller for exponentially stable systems (ii) an observer-based robust…
