We study the stability and stabilizability of a continuous-time switched control system that consists of the time-invariant $n$-dimensional subsystems \dot{x}=A_ix+B_i(x)u\quad (x\in\mathbb{R}^n, t\in\mathbb{R}_+ \textrm{and}…

Control systems of interest are often invariant under Lie groups of transformations. For such control systems, a geometric framework based on Lie symmetry is formulated, and from this a sufficient condition for dynamic feedback…
Conditions for input-output stability of barrier-based model predictive control of linear systems with linear and convex nonlinear (hard or soft) constraints are established through the construction of integral quadratic constraints (IQCs).…

For linear control systems in discrete time controllability properties are characterized. In particular, a unique control set with nonvoid interior exists and it is bounded in the hyperbolic case. Then a formula for the invariance pressure…

It is quite often claimed, and correctly so, that linear methods cannot achieve global stability results for attitude control, and conversely that nonlinear control is essential in order to achieve (almost) globally stable tracking of…
We consider control systems of the type $\dot x = A x +\alpha(t)bu$, where $u\in\R$, $(A,b)$ is a controllable pair and $\alpha$ is an unknown time-varying signal with values in $[0,1]$ satisfying a persistent excitation condition i.e.,…
