This study addresses a distributed state feedback controller design problem for continuous-time linear time-invariant systems by means of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). As structural constraints on a control gain result in non-convexity…
Lyapunov-Krasowskii functionals are used to design quantized control laws for nonlinear continuous-time systems in the presence of constant delays in the input. The quantized control law is implemented via hysteresis to prevent chattering.…
This article establishes the existence of Lyapunov functions for analyzing the stability of a class of state-constrained systems, and it describes algorithms for their numerical computation. The system model consists of a differential…
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…
We introduce High-Relative Degree Stochastic Control Lyapunov functions and Barrier Functions as a means to ensure asymptotic stability of the system and incorporate state dependent high relative degree safety constraints on a non-linear…
We initiate a formal study on the use of low-dimensional latent representations of dynamical systems for verifiable control synthesis. Our main goal is to enable the application of verification techniques -- such as Lyapunov or barrier…
We propose new methods for learning control policies and neural network Lyapunov functions for nonlinear control problems, with provable guarantee of stability. The framework consists of a learner that attempts to find the control and…
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to synthesize linear feedback controllers for navigating in polygonal environments using noisy measurements and a convex cell decomposition. Our method is based on formulating chance constraints…
We provide algorithms for computing a Lyapunov function for a class of systems where the state trajectories are constrained to evolve within a closed convex set. The dynamical systems that we consider comprise a differential equation which…
Recent work has shown that stabilizing an affine control system while optimizing a quadratic cost subject to state and control constraints can be mapped to a sequence of Quadratic Programs (QPs) using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) and…
Nonlinear parameter-varying (NPV) systems are a class of nonlinear systems whose dynamics explicitly depend on time-varying external parameters, making them suitable for modeling real-world systems with dynamics variations. Traditional…
The goal of this paper is to understand the impact of learning on control synthesis from a Lyapunov function perspective. In particular, rather than consider uncertainties in the full system dynamics, we employ Control Lyapunov Functions…
In this paper, we develop a unified framework able to certify both exponential and subexponential convergence rates for a wide range of iterative first-order optimization algorithms. To this end, we construct a family of parameter-dependent…
The Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) framework has long been used to guarantee performance and stability requirements of nonlinear (NL) systems mainly through the $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain concept. However, recent research has pointed out that…
In this work, we propose novel LMI-based controller synthesis frameworks for periodically time-varying Markov-jump linear systems. We first discuss the necessary conditions for mean square stability and derive Lyapunov-like conditions for…
This paper presents a method to design a min-norm Control Lyapunov Function (CLF)-based stabilizing controller for a control-affine system with uncertain dynamics using Gaussian Process (GP) regression. In order to estimate both state and…
We propose a method for data-driven practical stabilization of nonlinear systems with provable guarantees, based on the concept of Nonparametric Chain Policies (NCPs). The approach employs a normalized nearest-neighbor rule to assign, at…
Practical stabilization of input-affine systems in the presence of measurement errors and input constraints is considered in this brief note. Assuming that a Lyapunov function and a stabilizing control exist for an input-affine system, the…
We propose a single time-scale stochastic subgradient method for constrained optimization of a composition of several nonsmooth and nonconvex functions. The functions are assumed to be locally Lipschitz and differentiable in a generalized…
Polyhedral Lyapunov functions can approximate any norm arbitrarily well. Because of this, they are used to study the stability of linear time varying and linear parameter varying systems without being conservative. However, the…
