In this paper, we characterize the set of static-state feedbacks that stabilize a given continuous linear-time invariant system pair using dissipative Hamiltonian matrices. This characterization results in a parametrization of feedbacks in…

Controlling nonlinear systems, especially when data are being used to offset uncertainties in the model, is hard. A natural approach when dealing with the challenges of nonlinear control is to reduce the system to a linear one via change of…

We develop an asymptotical control theory for one of the simplest distributed oscillating systems, namely, for a closed string under a bounded load applied to a single distinguished point. We find exact classes of string states that admit…

In this work we analyze and bound the effect of modeling errors on the stabilization of pure states or subspaces for quantum stochastic evolutions. Different approaches are used for open-loop and feedback control protocols. For both, we…
A novel set-theoretical approach to hands-off control is proposed, focusing on spatial arguments for command limitation rather than temporal ones. By employing dynamical feedback alongside invariant set-based constraints, actuation is…
A control system is called self-powered if the only energy it requires for operation is that which it absorbs from the plant. For a linear feedback law to be feasible for a self-powered control system, its feedback signal must be colocated…
This paper investigates a planar tracking problem between a leader and follower agent. We propose a novel feedback speed control law, paired with a constant bearing steering strategy, to maintain an abreast formation between the two agents.…
Although modeling studies are focused on the control of SIR-based systems describing epidemic data sets (particularly the COVID-19), few of them present a formal dynamic characterization in terms of equilibrium sets and stability. Such…
We propose an encoding and control strategy for the stabilization of switched systems with limited information, supposing the controller is given for each mode. Only the quantized output and the active mode of the plant at each sampling…
