Traditional stochastic optimal control methods that attempt to obtain an optimal feedback policy for nonlinear systems are computationally intractable. In this paper, we derive a decoupling principle between the open loop plan, and the…

Feedback alignment and related weight-transport-free algorithms are often proposed as biologically plausible alternatives to backpropagation, yet they are typically formulated in discrete phases with implicitly synchronized forward and…

Urban traffic congestion, exacerbated by inefficient parking management and cruising for parking, significantly hampers mobility and sustainability in smart cities. Drivers often face delays searching for parking spaces, influenced by…

Controllability properties for discrete-time, Markovian quantum dynamics are investigated. We find that, while in general the controlled system is not finite-time controllable, feedback control allows for arbitrary asymptotic state-to-state…

Output reference tracking of unknown nonlinear systems is considered. The control objective is exact tracking in predefined finite time, while in the transient phase the tracking error evolves within a prescribed boundary. To achieve this,…

If one wants to explore the properties of a dynamical system systematically one has to be able to track equilibria and periodic orbits regardless of their stability. If the dynamical system is a controllable experiment then one approach is…

Time delayed feedback control is one of the most successful methods to discover dynamically unstable features of a dynamical system in an experiment. This approach feeds back only terms that depend on the difference between the current…

Time--delayed feedback is exploited for controlling noise--induced motion in coherence resonance oscillators. Namely, under the proper choice of time delay, one can either increase or decrease the regularity of motion. It is shown that in…

This paper investigates the problem of regulating in real time a linear dynamical system to the solution trajectory of a time-varying constrained convex optimization problem. The proposed feedback controller is based on an adaptation of the…

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provide the most intriguing opportunity for enabling users to significantly improve safety and transportation efficiency by monitoring network conditions and making better operating decisions. CAVs,…

The purpose of this review paper is to present some recent results on the modeling and control of large systems of agents. We focus on particular applications where the agents are capable of independent actions instead of simply reacting to…

Closed-loop positivity of feedback interconnections of positive monotone nonlinear systems is investigated. It is shown that an instantaneous gain condition on the open-loop systems which implies feedback well-posedness also guarantees…

This paper introduces a novel approach to the optimal control of linear discrete-time systems subject to bounded disturbances. Our approach is based on the newly established duality between ellipsoidal approximations of reachable and hardly…

Rollout control is an MPC-based control method, in which a controller is periodically activated to schedule the transmission of sensor or actuator data. Therein, a preassigned traffic specification acts as a constraint on the scheduled…

This letter proposes a simple and inexpensive technique to improve the frequency control of distributed energy resources. The proposed control consists in modifying the conventional estimated bus frequency signal with an additional feedback…

This paper addresses the formation maneuver control problem of leader-follower multi-agent systems with high-order integrator dynamics. A distributed output feedback formation maneuver controller is proposed to achieve desired maneuvers so…

Spikes and rhythms organize control and communication in the animal world, in contrast to the bits and clocks of digital technology. As continuous-time signals that can be counted, spikes have a mixed nature. This paper reviews ongoing…

The popular single-input single-output control structures and classic design methods (e.g., root locus analysis) for the power control of grid-forming converters have limitations in applying to different line characteristics and providing…

We study minimum-variance feedback-control design for a networked control system with retarded dynamics, where inter-agent communication is subject to latency. We prove that such a design can be solved efficiently for circular formations…

Transient energy growth suppression is a common control objective for feedback flow control aimed at delaying transition to turbulence. A prevailing control approach in this context is observer-based feedback, in which a full-state feedback…
