A linear dynamical system is called $k$-positive if its dynamics maps the set of vectors with up to $k-1$ sign variations to itself. For $k=1$, this reduces to the important class of positive linear systems. Since stable positive linear…
The reduction of dynamical systems has a rich history, with many important applications related to stability, control and verification. Reduction of nonlinear systems is typically performed in an exact manner - as is the case with…
Consider an unknown nonlinear dynamical system that is known to be dissipative. The objective of this paper is to learn a neural dynamical model that approximates this system, while preserving the dissipativity property in the model. In…
Dissipativity is an essential concept of systems theory. The paper provides an extension of dissipativity, named differential dissipativity, by lifting storage functions and supply rates to the tangent bundle. Differential dissipativity is…
This paper introduces and studies the notion of output-input stability, which represents a variant of the minimum-phase property for general smooth nonlinear control systems. The definition of output-input stability does not rely on a…
This paper presents a novel framework for stabilizing nonlinear systems represented in state-dependent form. We first reformulate the nonlinear dynamics as a state-dependent parameter-varying model and synthesize a stabilizing controller…
Quadrotors are one of the popular unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to their versatility and simple design. However, the tuning of gains for quadrotor flight controllers can be laborious, and accurately stable control of trajectories can…
While the identification of nonlinear dynamical systems is a fundamental building block of model-based reinforcement learning and feedback control, its sample complexity is only understood for systems that either have discrete states and…
Converse optimality theory addresses an optimal control problem conversely where the system is unknown and the value function is chosen. Previous work treated this problem both in continuous and discrete time and non-extensively considered…
Latent force models are systems whereby there is a mechanistic model describing the dynamics of the system state, with some unknown forcing term that is approximated with a Gaussian process. If such dynamics are non-linear, it can be…
We study the asymptotic stability properties of nonlinear switched systems under the assumption of the existence of a common weak Lyapunov function. We consider the class of nonchaotic inputs, which generalize the different notions of…
A neural networks (NN) compensator is designed for systems with multi-segment piecewise-linear nonlinearities. The compensator uses the back stepping technique with NN for inverting the multi-segment piecewise-linear nonlinearities in the…
We study integral-to-integral input-to-state stability for infinite-dimensional linear systems with inputs and trajectories in $L^p$-spaces. We start by developing the corresponding admissibility theory for linear systems with unbounded…
In this paper, the problem of placing sensors for some classes of nonlinear dynamic systems (NDS) is investigated. In conjunction with mixed-integer programming, classical Lyapunov-based arguments are used to find the minimal sensor…
This paper develops a neural network based control framework that ensures system safety and input-to-state stability (ISS) for general nonlinear switched systems with unknown dynamics. Leveraging the concept of dwell time, we derive…
This article is concerned with stability analysis and stabilization of randomly switched nonlinear systems. These systems may be regarded as piecewise deterministic stochastic systems: the discrete switches are triggered by a stochastic…
The relationship between different dissipativity concepts for linear time-varying systems is studied, in particular between port-Hamiltonian systems, passive systems, and systems with nonnegative supply. It is shown that linear time-varying…
Entropy notions for $\varepsilon$-incremental practical stability and incremental stability of deterministic nonlinear systems under disturbances are introduced. The entropy notions are constructed via a set of points in state space which…
In this article, we present a stabilization feedback law with integral action for conservative abstract linear systems subjected to actuator nonlinearity. Based on the designed control law, we first prove the well-posedness and global…
This paper introduce the notion of output contraction that expands the contraction notion to the time-varying nonlinear systems with output. It pertains to the systems' property that any pair of outputs from the system converge to each…
