Open and emerging control problems in tokamak plasma control
— The tokamak concept for magnetic confinement of fusion plasmas is now quite mature scientifically. This maturity is evidenced by the ongoing worldwide effort to design and cons...

Stabilization of closed sets for passive systems, part I: Reduction principles
— Given an unforced nonlinear system and two nested closed and invariant sets Γ ⊂ O, we present reduction principles allowing one to extrapolate the properties of stability, a...

On the existence of Zeno behavior in hybrid systems with non-isolated Zeno equilibria
Abstract— This paper presents proof-certificate based sufficient conditions for the existence of Zeno behavior in hybrid systems near non-isolated Zeno equilibria. To establish...

Stability analysis for neural networks with time-varying delay
— This paper studies the problem of stability analysis for neural networks (NNs) with a time-varying delay. The activation functions are assumed to be neither monotonic, nor diff...

Floquet transformations for discrete-time systems: Equivalence between periodic systems and time-invariant ones
— This paper considers discrete-time periodic linear systems and their Floquet transformations, by which the periodic systems can be equivalently transformed to time-invariant on...

Application of the proximal center decomposition method to distributed model predictive control
Abstract— In this paper we present a dual-based decomposition method, called here the proximal center method, to solve distributed model predictive control (MPC) problems for cou...

Exact controllability of linear neutral type systems by the moment problem approach
Abstract— The problem of exact null-controllability is considered for a wide class of linear neutral type systems with distributed delay. The main tool of the analysis is the app...

Analysis of hybrid systems resulting from relay-type hysteresis and saturation: A Lyapunov approach
— This paper studies a class of hybrid systems with linear (or linear plus saturated linear) continuous and discrete dynamics, which are determined by a flow map and jump map, a...
