We consider the stabilization problem for driftless control-affine systems under the bracket-generating condition. In our previous works, a class of time-varying feedback laws has been constructed to stabilize the equilibrium of a…

The purposes of this paper are to classify lower triangular forms and to determine under what conditions a nonlinear system is equivalent to a specific type of lower triangular forms. According to the least multi-indices and the greatest…

This paper proposes a novel nonlinear sliding mode state feedback controller for perturbed second-order systems. In analogy to a linear proportional-derivative (PD) feedback control, the proposed nonlinear scheme uses the output of interest…

In this paper we introduce the concept of universal stabilizability: the condition that every solution of a nonlinear system can be globally stabilized. We give sufficient conditions in terms of the existence of a control contraction…

This survey paper deals with the stabilization of nonlinear systems by analyzing the controlling method in terms of state feedback and output feedback. A brief overview of some literature on how the feedback controller of some dynamic…

Novel nonlinear damping control is proposed for the second-order systems. The proportional output feedback is combined with the damping term which is quadratic to the output derivative and inverse to the set-point distance. The global…

We generalize a method of control of chaos which uses delayed feedback at the period of an unstable orbit to stabilize that orbit. The generalization consists of substituting some portion of the nonlinear dynamical system with a delayed…

For linear control systems with bounded control range, the state space is compactified using the Poincar\'e sphere. The linearization of the induced control flow allows the construction of invariant manifolds on the sphere and of…

Stability and control of a non-linear system represent an important system configuration that frequently arises in practical engineering. Stability covers a vast range of systems that do not obey the superposition principle and applies to…

Formation control deals with the design of decentralized control laws that stabilize mobile, autonomous agents at prescribed distances from each other. We call any configuration of the agents a target configuration if it satisfies the…

For a general class of dynamical systems (of which the canonical continuous and uniform discrete versions are but special cases), we prove that there is a state feedback gain such that the resulting closed-loop system is uniformly…

These lectures demonstrate the development of a PID control framework for mechanical systems. Based on the observation that mechanical systems are essentially double integrator systems, we generalize the linear PID controller to mechanical…

In this work, we present a problem of simultaneous input-output feedback linearization and decoupling (non-interacting) for mechanical control systems with outputs. We show that the natural requirement of preserving mechanical structure of…

This work develops a new direct adaptive control framework that extends the certainty equivalence principle to general nonlinear systems with unmatched model uncertainties. The approach adjusts the rate of adaptation online to eliminate the…

Feedback optimization is a control paradigm that enables physical systems to autonomously reach efficient operating points. Its central idea is to interconnect optimization iterations in closed-loop with the physical plant. Since iterative…

We address the problem of characterisation of null-forms of conic $3$-dimensional systems, that is, control-affine systems whose field of admissible velocities forms a conic (without parameters) in the tangent space. Those systems have been…

This paper is concerned with the design of optimal control for finite-dimensional control-affine nonlinear dynamical systems. We introduce an optimal control problem that specifically optimizes nonlinear observability in addition to…

In this paper, we aim at developing computationally tractable methods for nonlinear model/controller reduction. Recently, model reduction by generalized differential (GD) balancing has been proposed for nonlinear systems with constant…

This paper is about the stabilization of a cascade system composed by an infinite-dimensional system, that we suppose to be exponentially stable, and an ordinary differential equation (ODE), that we suppose to be marginally stable. The…

This paper deals with the stabilization of a coupled system composed by an infinite-dimensional system and an ODE. Moreover, the control, which appears in the dynamics of the ODE, is subject to a general class of nonlinearities. Such a…
