We study feedback control of coupled nonlinear stochastic oscillators in a force field. We first consider the problem of asymptotically driving the system to a desired {\em steady state} corresponding to reduced thermal noise. Among the…

We provide a partially affirmative answer to the following question on robustness of polynomial stability with respect to sampling: ``Suppose that a continuous-time state-feedback controller achieves the polynomial stability of the…

The paper addresses an optimal ensemble control problem for nonlocal continuity equations on the space of probability measures. We admit the general nonlinear cost functional, and an option to directly control the nonlocal terms of the…

Solutions to optimal control problems can be discontinuous, even if all the functionals defining the problem are smooth. This can cause difficulties when numerically computing solutions to these problems. While conventional numerical…

We study the asymptotic relations between certain singular and constrained control problems for one-dimensional diffusions with both discounted and ergodic objectives. By constrained control problems we mean that controlling is allowed only…

Using optimal control, we establish and link the ultimate bounds in time (referred to as quantum speed limit) and energy of two- and three-level quantum nonlinear systems which feature 1:2 resonance. Despite the unreachable complete…

Here we derive a nonsmooth maximum principle for optimal control problems with both state and mixed constraints. Crucial to our development is a convexity assumption on the "velocity set". The approach consists of applying known…

In this contribution we develop an efficient reduced order model for solving parametrized linear-quadratic optimal control problems with linear time-varying state system. The fully reduced model combines reduced basis approximations of the…

Optimal control is a central problem in quantum thermodynamics. When minimizing dissipated work and work fluctuations defined via the two-point measurement scheme in open quantum systems, existing approaches largely focus on the rapid- and…

In this article, we study the linear time-invariant state-feedback controller design problem for distributed systems. We follow the recently developed system level synthesis (SLS) approach and impose locality structure on the resulting…

This article treats three problems of sparse and optimal multiplexing a finite ensemble of linear control systems. Given an ensemble of linear control systems, multiplexing of the controllers consists of an algorithm that selects, at each…

Data-driven control of discrete-time and continuous-time systems is of tremendous research interest. In this paper, we explore data-driven optimal control of continuous-time linear systems using input-output data. Based on a density result,…

We present a methodology for designing a dynamic controller with delayed output feedback for achieving non-collocated vibration suppression with a focus on the multi-frequency case. To synthesize the delay-based controller, we first remodel…

This work proposes a two-layered control scheme for constrained nonlinear systems represented by a class of recurrent neural networks and affected by additive disturbances. In particular, a base controller ensures global or regional…

This paper is concerned with data-driven optimal control of nonlinear systems. We present a convex formulation to the optimal control problem (OCP) with a discounted cost function. We consider OCP with both positive and negative discount…

We address the persistent monitoring problem in two-dimensional mission spaces where the objective is to control the trajectories of multiple cooperating agents to minimize an uncertainty metric. In a one-dimensional mission space, we have…

This paper considers a disturbance attenuation problem for a linear discrete time invariant system under random disturbances with imprecisely known probability distributions. The statistical uncertainty is measured in terms of relative…

A solid system consisting of two heat conducting cylinders with a thermoelectric converter (Peltier element) between them is considered. A nonlinear model, which was previously verified by authors, is used to design a constrained control…

We consider an infinite time horizon spatially distributed optimal harvesting problem for a vegetation and soil water reaction diffusion system, with rainfall as the main external parameter. By Pontryagin's maximum principle we derive the…

We consider the feedback design for stabilizing a rigid body system by making and breaking multiple contacts with the environment without prespecifying the timing or the number of occurrence of the contacts. We model such a system as a…
