Let $G$ be a semidirect product of a simply connected nilpotent Lie group and $\R$. For a left invariant control system on $G$ with a convex cone as a control domain, it is proved that the attainable sets coincides with a "halfspace" if the…
In this paper, controllability of undirected networked systems with {diffusively coupled subsystems} is considered, where each subsystem is of {identically {\emph{fixed}}} general high-order single-input-multi-output dynamics. The…
We study the synchronous and asynchronous automatic structures on the fundamental group of a graph of groups in which each edge group is finite. Up to a natural equivalence relation, the set of biautomatic structures on such a graph product…
In this work, we present a distributed framework based on the graph algorithm for computing control invariant set for nonlinear cascade systems. The proposed algorithm exploits the structure of the interconnections within a process network.…
This paper studies the design of controllers for discontinuous dynamics that ensure the safety of non-smooth sets. The safe set is represented by arbitrarily nested unions and intersections of 0-superlevel sets of differentiable functions.…
This paper presents conditions for establishing topological controllability in undirected networks of diffusively coupled agents. Specifically, controllability is considered based on the signs of the edges (negative, positive or zero). Our…
In this paper we present a direct adaptive control method for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with a time-varying structure. We view the nonlinear systems as composed of a finite number of ``pieces,'' which are interpolated by…
Microgrids are autonomous clusters of generators, storage units and loads. Special requirements arise in interconnected operation: control schemes that do not require individual microgrids to disclose information about their internal…
We present a novel, integrated control framework designed to achieve seamless transitions among a spectrum of inverter operation modes. The operation spectrum includes grid-forming (GFM), grid-following (GFL), static synchronous compensator…
We consider output trajectory tracking for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems whose internal dynamics may be modelled by infinite-dimensional systems which are bounded-input, bounded-output stable. We describe under which conditions…
It has been recently shown that, under appropriate hypotheses, the $\omega$-limit sets of a dynamical system are characterized by internal chain transitivity. In this paper, we examine generalizations of these ideas in the context of the…
This paper considers control systems defined on Lie algebroids. After deriving basic controllability tests for general control systems, we specialize our discussion to the class of mechanical control systems on Lie algebroids. This class of…
Multi-objective safety-critical control entails a diligent design to avoid possibly conflicting scenarios and ensure safety. This paper addresses multi-objective safety-critical control through a novel approach utilizing barrier states…
This paper introduces integral control barrier functions (I-CBFs) as a means to enable the safety-critical integral control of nonlinear systems. Importantly, I-CBFs allow for the holistic encoding of both state constraints and input bounds…
A new method is developed to design controllers in Euclidean space for systems defined on manifolds. The idea is to embed the state-space manifold $M$ of a given control system into some Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$, extend the system from…
The invariance pressure of continuous-time control systems with initial states in a set K which are to be kept in a set Q is introduced and a number of results are derived, mainly for the case where Q is a control set.
Control schemes for dynamical systems typically involve stabilizing unstable periodic orbits. In this paper we introduce a new paradigm of control that involves `trapping' the dynamics arbitrarily close to any desired trajectory. This is…
The integral control of positive systems using nonnegative control input is an important problem arising, among others, in biochemistry, epidemiology and ecology. An immediate solution is to use an ON-OFF nonlinearity between the controller…
Networked Embedded Control Systems are distributed control systems where the communication among plants, sensors, actuators and controllers occurs in a shared network. They have been the subject of intensive study in the last few years. In…
We study experimentally a system comprised of linear chains of spin-1/2 nuclei that provides a test-bed for multi-body dynamics and quantum information processing. This system is a paradigm for a new class of quantum information devices…
