We consider the control of interacting subsystems whose dynamics and constraints are decoupled, but whose state vectors are coupled non-separably in a single cost function of a fi...
The problem of absolute stability is one of the oldest open problems in the theory of control. Even for the particular case of second-order systems a complete solution was present...
Motivated by questions in stability theory for hybrid dynamical systems, we establish some fundamental properties of the set of solutions to such systems. Using the notion of a hy...
Radial basis functions (RBFs) have found important applications in areas such as signal processing, medical imaging, and neural networks since the early 1980's. Several appli...
As a case study of a particular control methodology and as a practical contribution in the area of underwater vehicle control, we consider the problem of stabilizing an underwater...
