Control-based continuation is technique for tracking the solutions and bifurcations of nonlinear experiments. The basic idea is to apply the method of numerical continuation to a feedback-controlled physical experiment. Since in an…
This paper presents a framework to perform bifurcation analysis in laboratory experiments or simulations. We employ control-based continuation to study the dynamics of a macroscopic variable of a microscopically defined model, exploring the…
We implement a computer-assisted approach that, under appropriate conditions, allows the bifurcation analysis of the coarse dynamic behavior of microscopic simulators without requiring the explicit derivation of closed macroscopic equations…
Control laws for continuous-time dynamical systems are most often implemented via digital controllers using a sample-and-hold technique. Numerical discretization of the continuous system is an integral part of subsequent analysis. Feedback…
Experimental continuation encompasses a set of methods that combine control and continuation to obtain the full bifurcation diagram of a nonlinear system experimentally, including responses that would be unstable in the system without…
We present a minimal control-based continuation algorithm designed to track branches of limit cycles in autonomous systems. The controller can be viewed as three sub-controllers: (i) a derivative feedback controller that is used to…
We present an example of the practical implementation of a protocol for experimental bifurcation detection based on on-line identification and feedback control ideas. The idea is to couple the experiment with an on-line computer-assisted…
A novel nonlinear model predictive control approach for state signal shaping is proposed. The control strategy introduces a residual shape cost kernel based on the dynamics of circular limit cycles from a supercritical Neimark-Sacker…
This paper proposes a feedback linearizing law for single-track dynamic models, allowing the design of a trajectory tracking controller exploiting linear control theory. The main characteristics of this algorithm are its simplicity, its…
A piecewise-linear model with a single degree of freedom is derived from first principles for a driven vertical cantilever beam with a localized mass and symmetric stops. The resulting piecewise-linear dynamical system is smoothed by a…
Robust reinforcement learning agents using high-dimensional observations must be able to identify relevant state features amidst many exogeneous distractors. A representation that captures controllability identifies these state elements by…
Feedback circuits in biochemical networks which underly cellular signaling pathways are important elements in creating complex behavior. A specific aspect thereof is how stability of equilibrium points depends on model parameters. For…
Many problems in engineering can be understood as controlling the bifurcation structure of a given device. For example, one may wish to delay the onset of instability, or bring forward a bifurcation to enable rapid switching between states.…
Bifurcation analysis collects techniques for characterizing the dependence of certain classes of solutions of a dynamical system on variations in problem parameters. Common solution classes of interest include equilibria and periodic…
Dynamic feedback linearization-based methods allow us to design control algorithms for a fairly large class of nonlinear systems in continuous time. However, this feature does not extend to their sampled counterparts, i.e., for a given…
Coarse timesteppers provide a bridge between microscopic / stochastic system descriptions and macroscopic tasks such as coarse stability/bifurcation computations. Exploiting this computational enabling technology, we present a framework for…
Linearising the dynamics of nonlinear mechanical systems is an important and open research area. A common approach is feedback linearisation, which is a nonlinear control method that transforms the input-output response of a nonlinear…
The parametric behavior of regular periodic arrays of rising bubbles is investigated with the aid of 2-dimensional BGK Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) simulators. The Recursive Projection Method is implemented and coupled to the LB simulators,…
This work proposes a novel 2-D formation control scheme for acyclic triangulated directed graphs (a class of minimally acyclic persistent graphs) based on bipolar coordinates with (almost) global convergence to the desired shape. Prescribed…
This paper investigates the problem of consensus-based distributed control of linear time-invariant multi-channel systems subject to unknown inputs. A distributed observer-based control framework is proposed, within which observer nodes and…
