Besides parametric uncertainties and disturbances, the unmodeled dynamics and time delay at the input are often present in practical systems, which cannot be ignored in some cases. This paper aims to solve output feedback tracking control…

Delay-coordinate maps have been widely used recently to study nonlinear dynamical systems, where there is only access to the time series of one of their variables. Here, we show how the partial control method can be applied in this kind of…

We study control systems on the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold induced by vertical lifts of vector fields. The Vertical dynamics acts exclusively along the fibers, leaving the base point unchanged and reducing the system to a linear…

This paper investigates the control of flow networks, where the control objective is to regulate the measured output (e.g storage levels) towards a desired value. We present a distributed controller that dynamically adjusts the inputs and…

Delimited control is a powerful mechanism for programming language extension which has been recently proposed for Prolog (and implemented in SWI-Prolog). By manipulating the control flow of a program from inside the language, it enables the…
