The current COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have highlighted the close and delicate relationship between a country's public health and economic health. Macroeconomic models that use preexisting epidemic models to calculate the…
The study addresses the problem of quadcopter motion control using output feedback. By applying a geometric approach, the quadcopter model is transformed into a normal form with a time-varying gain coefficient, which is subsequently made…
We present a procedure to simultaneously design the output feedback law and the event-triggering condition to stabilize linear systems. The closed-loop system is shown to satisfy a global asymptotic stability property and the existence of a…
The issue of state estimation is considered for an SIR-SI epidemiological model describing a vector-borne disease such as dengue fever, subject to seasonal variations. Assuming continuous measurement of the incidence rate (that is the…
We design a new feedback law to stabilize a linear infinite-dimensional control system, where the state operator generates a C0-group and the control operator is unbounded. Our feedback law is based on the integration of a mutated Gramian…
For a general class of dynamical systems (of which the canonical continuous and uniform discrete versions are but special cases), we prove that there is a state feedback gain such that the resulting closed-loop system is uniformly…
We propose a network behavioral-feedback Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model in which the interaction matrix describing the infection rates across subpopulations depends in feedback on the current epidemic state. This model…
This paper studies the linear quadratic regulation (LQR) problem of unknown discrete-time systems via dynamic output feedback learning control. In contrast to the state feedback, the optimality of the dynamic output feedback control for…
In this paper we propose a new state observer design technique for nonlinear systems. It consists of an extension of the recently introduced parameter estimation-based observer, which is applicable for systems verifying a particular…
Vaccination campaigns have both direct and indirect effects that act to control an infectious disease as it spreads through a population. Indirect effects arise when vaccinated individuals block disease transmission in any infection chains…
The paper shows that positive linear systems can be stabilized using positive Luenberger-type observers. This is achieved by structuring the observer as monotonically converging upper and lower bounds on the state. Analysis of the…
We present a modified age-structured SIR model based on known patterns of social contact and distancing measures within Washington, USA. We find that population age-distribution has a significant effect on disease spread and mortality rate,…
We study the susceptible-infective-recovered (SIR) epidemic on a random graph chosen uniformly subject to having given vertex degrees. In this model infective vertices infect each of their susceptible neighbours, and recover, at a constant…
Control-affine output systems generically present observability singularities, i.e. inputs that make the system unobservable. This proves to be a difficulty in the context of output feedback stabilization, where this issue is usually…
We study a stabilization problem for systems with quantized output feedback. The state estimate from a Luenberger observer is used for control inputs and quantization centers. First we consider the case when only the output is quantized and…
We study a susceptible-vaccinated--infected--recovered (SVIR) epidemic-spreading model with diversity of infection rate of the individuals. By means of analytical arguments as well as extensive computer simulations, we demonstrate that the…
We propose a new model predictive control (MPC) approach which is completely based on an observer for the state system. For this, we show semiglobally practically asymptotic stability of the closed loop for an abstract observer and…
We examine the age-structured SIR model, a variant of the classical Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model of epidemic propagation, in the context of COVID-19. In doing so, we provide a theoretical basis for the model, perform an…
