We will show that there is a universal connection between the achievable closed-loop dynamics and the corresponding feedback controller that produces it. This connection shows promise to lead to new methods for robust nonlinear control in…

Necessary optimality conditions and numerical methods for solving an optimal control problem for a linear continuous-time dynanical system with controlled coefficients and quadratic goal functional are discussed.

We consider the problem of controlling a set of dynamically decoupled plants where the plants' subcontrollers communicate with each other according to a fixed and known network topology. We assume the communication to be instantaneous but…

This paper considers the synchronized output regulation (SOR) problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems with switching graph. The SOR means that all agents regulate their outputs to synchronize on the output of a predefined common exosystem.…

We investigate the discrete-time stochastic linear quadratic control problem for a population of cooperative agents under the hard equality constraint on total control inputs, motivated by demand response in renewable energy systems. We…

Optimal decentralized controller design is notoriously difficult, but recent research has identified large subclasses of such problems that may be convexified and thus are amenable to solution via efficient numerical methods. One recently…

Multi-robot cooperative control has gained extensive research interest due to its wide applications in civil, security, and military domains. This paper proposes a cooperative control algorithm for multi-robot systems with general linear…

We consider the problem of controlling the group behavior of a large number of dynamic systems that are constantly interacting with each other. These systems are assumed to have identical dynamics (e.g., birds flock, robot swarm) and their…

This paper proposes a form of MPC in which the control variables are moved asynchronously. This contrasts with most MIMO control schemes, which assume that all variables are updated simultaneously. MPC outperforms other control strategies…

A fully analytical controller design is proposed to tackle a periodic control problem for stable linear systems with an input delay. Applying the internal model control scheme, the controller design reduces to designing a filter, which is…

Tools from control and dynamical systems have proven valuable for analyzing and developing optimization methods. In this paper, we establish rigorous theoretical foundations for using feedback linearization (FL) -- a well-established…

We consider homogenization problems in the framework of deterministic optimal control when the dynamics and running costs are completely different in two (or more) complementary domains of the space $\R^N$. For such optimal control…

Monte Carlo simulations of systems with a complex action are known to be extremely difficult. A new approach to this problem based on a factorization property of distribution functions of observables has been proposed recently. The method…

Traffic simulation aims to learn a policy for traffic agents that, when unrolled in closed-loop, faithfully recovers the joint distribution of trajectories observed in the real world. Inspired by large language models, tokenized multi-agent…

The optimal controller design problem for a linear, first-order spatially-invariant distributed parameter system is considered. Through a case study of the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problem for the diffusion equation over the torus,…

Synchronization is a phenomenon where interacting particles lock their motion and display non-trivial dynamics. Despite intense efforts studying synchronization in systems without clear classical limits, no comprehensive theory has been…

Reducing control complexity is essential for achieving large-scale quantum computing. However, reducing control knobs may compromise the ability to independently address each qubit. Recent progress in neutral atom-based platforms suggests…

Many real-world scenarios involve a team of agents that have to coordinate their policies to achieve a shared goal. Previous studies mainly focus on decentralized control to maximize a common reward and barely consider the coordination…

This paper presents a general framework for the design of linear controllers for linear systems subject to time-domain constraints. The design framework exploits sums-of-squares techniques to incorporate the time-domain constraints on…

The distributed optimal synchronization problem with linear quadratic cost is solved in this paper for multi-agent systems with an undirected communication topology. For the first time, the optimal synchronization problem is formulated as a…
