This paper introduces recurrent equilibrium networks (RENs), a new class of nonlinear dynamical models} for applications in machine learning, system identification and control. The new model class admits ``built in'' behavioural guarantees…
Neural networks have proven practical for a synergistic combination of advanced control techniques. This work analyzes the implementation of rectified linear unit neural networks to achieve constrained control in differentially flat…
Considering nonlinear processes which are subject to unknown but measurable disturbances, we provide both stability and feasibility proofs for nonlinear model predictive controllers with abstract updates without the use of stabilizing…
Predictive safety filters provide a way of projecting potentially unsafe inputs, proposed, e.g. by a human or learning-based controller, onto the set of inputs that guarantee recursive state and input constraint satisfaction by leveraging…
This work provides a framework for nonlinear model-free control of systems with unknown input-output dynamics, but outputs that can be controlled by the inputs. This framework leads to real-time control of the system such that a feasible…
With neural networks being used to control safety-critical systems, they increasingly have to be both accurate (in the sense of matching inputs to outputs) and robust. However, these two properties are often at odds with each other and a…
Electro-hydraulic servo-systems are widely employed in industrial applications such as robotic manipulators, active suspensions, precision machine tools and aerospace systems. They provide many advantages over electric motors, including…
We consider the problem of nonlinear system identification when prior knowledge is available on the region of attraction (ROA) of an equilibrium point. We propose an identification method in the form of an optimization problem, minimizing…
This paper discusses the interplay of symmetries and stability in the analysis and control of nonlinear dynamical systems and networks. Specifically, it combines standard results on symmetries and equivariance with recent convergence…
Deep learning methods have demonstrated significant potential for addressing complex nonlinear control problems. For real-world safety-critical tasks, however, it is crucial to provide formal stability guarantees for the designed…
The topic of this manuscript is the stability analysis of continuous-time switched nonlinear systems with constraints on the admissible switching signals. Our particular focus lies in considering signals characterized by upper and lower…
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…
We study the problem of solving fixed-point equations for seminorm-contractive operators and establish foundational results on the non-asymptotic behavior of iterative algorithms in both deterministic and stochastic settings. Specifically,…
This paper studies the problem of stabilization of a nonlinear system with time-varying delays in both sensing and actuation using event-triggered control. Our proposed strategy seeks to opportunistically minimize the number of control…
Sum of Squares programming has been used extensively over the past decade for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems but several questions remain unanswered. In this paper, we show that exponential stability of a polynomial vector…
We present a new method for learning control law that stabilizes an unknown nonlinear dynamical system at an equilibrium point. We formulate a system identification task in a self-supervised learning setting that jointly learns a controller…
This article addresses certification of closed-loop stability when a virtual-sensor based on a gated recurrent neural network operates in the feedback path of a nonlinear control system. The Hadamard gating used in standard GRU/LSTM cells…
This work proposes a new a framework for determining robust periodic invariant sets and their associated control laws for constrained uncertain linear systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions for stabilizability by periodic controllers…
Modern control systems must operate in increasingly complex environments subject to safety constraints and input limits, and are often implemented in a hierarchical fashion with different controllers running at multiple time scales. Yet…
In this paper we propose novel global and regional stability analysis conditions based on linear matrix inequalities for a general class of recurrent neural networks. These conditions can be also used for state-feedback control design and a…
