Nonlinear robust control is pursued by overcoming the drawback of linear robust control that it ignores available information about existing nonlinearities and the resulting controllers may be too conservative, especially when the…

In this paper, we study the application of switched systems stability criteria to derive delay-dependent conditions for systems affected by both a constant and a time-varying delay. The main novelty of our approach lies on the use of…

This paper addresses the trajectory-tracking problem for discrete-time linear time-invariant systems with bounded parametric uncertainty, subject to hard constraints on system states, control inputs, and input rates. Unlike existing…

We investigate the behavior of the Lyapunov spectrum of a linear discrete-time system under the action of small perturbations in order to obtain some verifiable conditions for stability and openness of the Lyapunov spectrum. To this end we…

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…

We provide general methods for explicitly constructing strict Lyapunov functions for fully nonlinear slowly time-varying systems. Our results apply to cases where the given dynamics and corresponding frozen dynamics are not necessarily…

Output feedback control design for linear time-invariant systems in the presence of sporadic measurements and exogenous perturbations is addressed. To cope with the sporadic availability of measurements of the output, a hybrid dynamic…

Recently, a number of counter examples have surfaced where Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) control synthesis applied to achieve asymptotic output tracking and disturbance rejection for a nonlinear system, fails to achieve the desired…

Railway tracks rest on a foundation known for exhibiting nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Railway track deflections are modeled by a semilinear partial differential equation. This paper studies the stability of solutions to this equation in…

We present the stability analysis for the new regulation-triggered approach to adaptive control introduced in a companion paper. Due to the fact that the closed-loop system is hybrid, our proofs have essential differences from the…

We present two related anytime algorithms for control of nonlinear systems when the processing resources available are time-varying. The basic idea is to calculate tentative control input sequences for as many time steps into the future as…
