The present work is a successor of [Ilchmann, Kirchhoff 2022] on generic controllability and of [Ilchmann, Kirchhoff 2023] on relative generic controllability of linear differential-algebraic equations. We extend the result from general,…
In this paper, we examine the shifted passivity property of port-Hamiltonian systems. Shifted passivity accounts for the fact that in many applications the desired steady-state values of the input and output variables are nonzero, and thus…

Port-Hamiltonian system theory is a well-known framework for the control of complex physical systems. The majority of port-Hamiltonian control design methods base on an explicit input-state-output port-Hamiltonian model for the system under…
The relationship between different dissipativity concepts for linear time-varying systems is studied, in particular between port-Hamiltonian systems, passive systems, and systems with nonnegative supply. It is shown that linear time-varying…
We present a gradient-based calibration algorithm to identify a port-Hamiltonian system from given time-domain input-output data. The gradient is computed with the help of sensitivities and the algorithm is tailored such that the structure…
Numerical methods for developing port-Hamiltonian representations of general linear time-invariant systems are studied. The approach extends previous port-Hamiltonian characterizations to include the general non-minimal case and the case…
Implicit representations of finite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems are studied from the perspective of their use in numerical simulation and control design. Implicit representations arise when a system is modeled in Cartesian…
This paper studies coefficient-level, structure-preserving output-feedback stabilization of linear port-Hamiltonian (pH) descriptor systems. Existing stabilization conditions generally require explicit pH representations, which may be…
The notion of positive realness for linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems, equivalent to passivity, is one of the oldest in system and control theory. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the nearest positive-real (PR)…
Control theory often takes the mathematical model of the to-be-control-led system for granted. In contrast, port-Hamiltonian systems theory bridges the gap between modelling and control for physical systems. It provides a unified framework…
