We describe the notion of stability of coherent systems as a framework to deal with redundancy. We define stable coherent systems and show how this notion can help the design of reliable systems. We demonstrate that the reliability of…

We show that the electroweak $Z-$string can be stabilized by the presence of bound states of a complex scalar field. We argue that fermions coupled to the scalar field of the string can also make the string stable and discuss the physical…

Stability certification and identifying a safe and stabilizing initial set are two important concerns in ensuring operational safety, stability, and robustness of dynamical systems. With the advent of machine-learning tools, these issues…
Platooning is a critical technology to realize autonomous driving. Each vehicle in platoons adopts the IEEE 802.11p standard to exchange information through communications to maintain the string stability of platoons. However, one vehicle…
This paper presents new results and reinterpretation of existing conditions for strong structural controllability in a structured network determined by the zero/non-zero patterns of edges. For diffusively-coupled networks with self-loops,…

Treatises on vibrations devote large space to study the dynamical behavior of an elastic system subject to known external tractions. In fact, usually a "system" is not an isolated body but it is part of a chain of mechanisms which disturb…
In systems where the ability to actuate is a scarce resource, e.g., spacecrafts, it is desirable to only apply a given controller in an intermittent manner--with periods where the controller is on and periods where it is off. Motivated by…
