Identifying non-classicality unambiguously and inexpensively is a long-standing open challenge in physics. The No-Signalling-In-Time protocol was developed as an experimental test for macroscopic realism, and serves as a witness of quantum…
In large-scale Internet of things networks, efficient medium access control (MAC) is critical due to the growing number of devices competing for limited communication resources. In this work, we consider a new challenge in which a set of…
This paper investigates the fundamental information-theoretic limits for the control and sensing of noiseless linear dynamical systems subject to a broad class of nonlinear observations. We analyze the interactions between the control and…
Existing results on cooperative control of multi-agent systems with unknown control directions require that the underlying topology is either fixed with a strongly connected graph or switching between different strongly connected graphs.…
In this paper, we analyze a network of agents that communicate through the ``word of mouth," in which, every agent communicates only with its neighbors. We introduce the prescription approach, present some of its properties and show that it…
The paradigm of Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems (CPSoS) is becoming rather popular in the control systems research community because of its expressive power able to properly handle many engineered complex systems of interest.…
Bipartite and tripartite EPR-Bell type systems are examined via joint quasi-probability distributions where elementary probabilities are permitted to be negative. It is shown that such distributions exist only when the no-signalling…
Decentralized stochastic control refers to the multi-stage optimization of a dynamical system by multiple controllers that have access to different information. Decentralization of information gives rise to new conceptual challenges that…
Decentralized algorithms for stochastic optimization and learning rely on the diffusion of information as a result of repeated local exchanges of intermediate estimates. Such structures are particularly appealing in situations where agents…
This article is concerned with stability analysis and stabilization of randomly switched systems under a class of switching signals. The switching signal is modeled as a jump stochastic (not necessarily Markovian) process independent of the…
Given an ensemble of autonomous agents and a task to achieve cooperatively, how much do the agents need to know about the state of the ensemble and about the task in order to achieve it? We introduce new methods to understand these aspects…
Systems describing the long-range interaction between individuals have attracted a lot of attention in the last years, in particular in relation with living systems. These systems are quadratic, written under the form of transport equations…
We describe a probabilistic framework for synthesizing control policies for general multi-robot systems, given environment and sensor models and a cost function. Decentralized, partially observable Markov decision processes (Dec-POMDPs) are…
We present sufficient conditions under which a given linear nonautonomous system and its nonlinear perturbation are topologically conjugated. Our conditions are of a very general form and provided that the nonlinear perturbations are…
The main contribution of this paper is an efficient and generalized decentralized monitoring algorithm allowing to detect satisfaction or violation of any regular specification by local monitors alone in a system without central observation…
This paper addresses the problem of navigation control of a general class of 2nd order uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in a bounded workspace, which is a subset of $R^3$ , with static obstacles. In particular, we propose a…
We propose a fully decentralized multi-agent world model that enables both symbol emergence for communication and coordinated behavior through temporal extension of collective predictive coding. Unlike previous research that focuses on…
This paper considers the analysis and design of resilient/robust decentralized control systems. Specifically, we aim to assess how the pairing of sensors and actuators lead to architectures that are resilient to attacks/hacks for industrial…
Monotone systems, also known as order-preserving or cooperative systems, are prevalent in models of engineering applications such as transportation and biological networks. In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding a control…
We explore a basic noise-free signaling scenario where coordination and communication are naturally merged. A random signal X_1,...,X_n is processed to produce a control signal or action sequence A_1,...,A_n, which is observed and further…
