Anantharam showed in 1985 the existence of a model in which some stabilizable plants do not have its right-/left-coprime factorizations. In this paper, we give a condition of the nonexistence of the right-/left-coprime factorizations of…

Various new implicit parameterizations for stabilizing controllers that allow one to impose structural constraints on the controller have been proposed lately. They are convex but infinite-dimensional, formulated in the frequency domain…

It is known that the set of internally stabilizing controller $\mathcal{C}_{\text{stab}}$ is non-convex, but it admits convex characterizations using certain closed-loop maps: a classical result is the Youla parameterization, and two recent…

We introduce a novel distributed control architecture for heterogeneous platoons of linear time--invariant autonomous vehicles. Our approach is based on a generalization of the concept of {\em leader--follower} controllers for which we…
The paper proposes an alternative way to achieve the Internal Model Principle (IMP) in contrast to the standard way, where a model of the signal one wishes to track/reject is directly substituted into the closed-loop. The proposed…
Linearization based controllers for incompressible flows have been proven to work in theory and in simulations. To realize such a controller numerically, the infinite dimensional system has to be linearized and discretized. The unavoidable…
Consider that a linear time-invariant (LTI) plant is given and that we wish to design a stabilizing controller for it. Admissible controllers are LTI and must comply with a pre-selected sparsity pattern. The sparsity pattern is assumed to…
