It is nontrivial to achieve exponential stability even for time-invariant nonlinear systems with matched uncertainties and persistent excitation (PE) condition. In this paper, without the need for PE condition, we address the problem of…

Linear systems of neutral type are considered using the infinite dimensional approach. The main problems are asymptotic, non-exponential stability, exact controllability and regular asymptotic stabilizability. The main tools are the moment…

There is a well studied notion of GIT-stability for coherent systems over curves, which depends on a real parameter $\alpha$. For generated coherent systems, there is a further notion of stability derived from Mumford's definition of linear…

This paper derives two stabilizability theorems for a basic class of discrete-time nonlinear systems with multiple unknown parameters. First, we claim that a discrete-time multi-parameter system is stabilizable if its nonlinear growth rate…

It has been known for some time that proportional output feedback will stabilize MIMO, minimum-phase, linear time-invariant systems if the feedback gain is sufficiently large. High-gain adaptive controllers achieve stability by…

This paper is concerned with a constrained stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problem, in which the terminal state is fixed and the initial state is constrained to lie in a stochastic linear manifold. The controllability of…

Sustained research efforts have been devoted to learning optimal controllers for linear stochastic dynamical systems with unknown parameters, but due to the corruption of noise, learned controllers are usually uncertified in the sense that…

We consider a stochastic control problem where the set of controls is not necessarily convex and the system is governed by a nonlinear backward stochastic differential equation. We establish necessary as well as sufficient conditions of…

Incremental stability properties are considered for certain systems of forced, nonlinear differential equations with a particular positivity structure. An incremental stability estimate is derived for pairs of input/state/output…

This paper deals with the exponential input-to-state stabilization with respect to boundary disturbances of a class of diagonal infinite-dimensional systems via delay boundary control. The considered input delays are uncertain and…

We consider a class of monotone systems in which the control signal multiplies the state. Among other applications, such bilinear systems can be used to model the evolutionary dynamics of HIV in the presence of combination drug therapy. For…

In this two-part paper, we identify a broad class of decentralized output-feedback LQG systems for which the optimal control strategies have a simple intuitive estimation structure and can be computed efficiently. Roughly, we consider the…

For vibrating systems, a delay in the application of a feedback control can destroy the stabilizing effect of the control. In this paper we consider a vibrating string that is fixed at one end and stabilized with a boundary feedback with…

This study investigates the existence and stability of limit cycles resulting from self-excited oscillations in linear multi-degree-of-freedom systems subjected to discontinuous, state-dependent forcing. Using the method of averaging and…

We study the stability properties of a control system composed of a dynamical plant and a feedback controller, the latter generating control signals that can be compromised by a malicious attacker. We consider two classes of feedback…

We consider the problem of designing a feedback controller that guides the input and output of a linear time-invariant system to a minimizer of a convex optimization problem. The system is subject to an unknown disturbance that determines…

We consider controller design for robust output tracking and disturbance rejection for continuous-time periodic linear systems with periodic reference and disturbance signals. As our main results we present four different controllers: A…

The present work addresses a finite-horizon linear-quadratic optimal control problem for uncertain systems driven by piecewise constant controls. The precise values of the system parameters are unknown, but assumed to belong to a finite set…

We investigate the performance and robustness of distributed averaging integral controllers used in the optimal frequency regulation of power networks. We construct a strict Lyapunov function that allows us to quantify the exponential…

Copositive linear Lyapunov functions are used along with dissipativity theory for stability analysis and control of uncertain linear positive systems. Unlike usual results on linear systems, linear supply-rates are employed here for…
