Control of underactuated mechanical systems: Observer design and position feedback stabilization
We identify a class of mechanical systems for which a globally exponentially stable reduced order observer can be designed. The class is characterized by (the solvability of) a set...

Complexity of stability and controllability of elementary hybrid systems
In this paper, we consider simple classes of nonlinear systems and prove that basic questions related to their stability and controllability are either undecidable or computationa...

Adjoint-Based Optimal Control of the Expected Exit Time for Stochastic Hybrid Systems
Abstract. In this paper, we study the problem of controlling the expected exit time from a region for a class of stochastic hybrid systems. That is, we find the least costly feedb...
