Leader-follower tracking control design has received significant attention in recent years due to its important and wide applications. Considering a multi-agent system composed of a leader and multiple followers, this paper proposes and…

We study a multi-agent output regulation problem, where not all agents have access to the exosystem's dynamics. We propose a fully distributed controller that solves the problem for linear, heterogeneous, and uncertain agent dynamics as…

This paper presents a new approach to distributed controller design that exploits a partial-structure representation of linear time invariant systems to characterize the structure of a system. This partial-structure representation, called…

Deviations of grid frequency from the nominal frequency are an indicator of the global imbalance between genera- tion and load. Two types of control, a distributed propor- tional control and a centralized integral control, are cur- rently…

Large swarms of autonomous devices are increasing in size and importance. When it comes to controlling the devices of large-scale swarms there are two main lines of thought. Centralized control, where all decisions - and often compute -…

Distributionally robust control is a well-studied framework for optimal decision making under uncertainty, with the objective of minimizing an expected cost function over control actions, assuming the most adverse probability distribution…

This paper addresses the problem of output voltage regulation for multiple DC/DC converters connected to a microgrid, and prescribes a scheme for sharing power among different sources. This architecture is structured in such a way that it…

The limits of quantum feedback control have immediate consequences for quantum information science at large, yet remain largely unexplored. Here, we combine quantum filtering theory and moment-sum-of-squares techniques to construct a…

This paper investigates the distributed event-triggered control problem for a class of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with polluted feedback. Under the setting of event-triggered control, substantial challenges…

We introduce the family of limited model information control design methods, which construct controllers by accessing the plant's model in a constrained way, according to a given design graph. We investigate the closed-loop performance…

Obtaining prescribed accuracy bounds in super-twisting sliding mode control loops often falls short in terms of the applicability of the controller in high-performance systems. This is due to the fact that the selection of the controller…

A closed-loop control of a reaction-diffusion type process is introduced. The control system consist of a finite number of control and measurement devices. The measurement devices collect information about the current state of the process.…

We address a distributed adaptive control methodology for nonlinear interconnected systems possibly affected by network anomalies. In the framework of adaptive approximation, the distributed controller and parameter estimator are designed…

Computing the similarity between two probability distributions is a recurring theme across control. We introduce a unified family of distances between the probability distributions of two random variables that is based on the discrepancy…

In this paper, we consider robust control using randomized algorithms. We extend the existing order statistics distribution theory to the general case in which the distribution of population is not assumed to be continuous and the order…

Large data sets often require performing distributed statistical estimation, with a full data set split across multiple machines and limited communication between machines. To study such scenarios, we define and study some refinements of…

Motivated by sensor networks and other distributed settings, several models for distributed learning are presented. The models differ from classical works in statistical pattern recognition by allocating observations of an independent and…

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…

In this work, we propose a robust approach to design distributed controllers for unknown-but-sparse linear and time-invariant systems. By leveraging modern techniques in distributed controller synthesis and structured linear inverse…

Many concepts for future generations of wireless communication systems use coherent processing of signals from many distributed antennas. The aim is to improve communication reliability, capacity, and energy efficiency and provide…
