This work explores Lyapunov characterizations of the input-output-to-state stability (IOSS) property for nonlinear systems. The notion of IOSS is a natural generalization of the standard zero-detectability property used in the linear case.…
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control has been the workhorse of control technology for about a century. Yet to this day, designing and tuning PID controllers relies mostly on either tabulated rules (Ziegler-Nichols) or on classical…
Stability is a very important property of any physical system. By a stable system, we broadly mean that small disturbances either in the system inputs or in the initial conditions do not lead to large changes in the overall behavior of the…

Converse optimality theory addresses an optimal control problem conversely where the system is unknown and the value function is chosen. Previous work treated this problem both in continuous and discrete time and non-extensively considered…
