Observer-controller design for cranes via Lyapunov equivalence
We consider a linearized parameter-varying model of a planar crane and show how a controller can be designed, following the state-feedback stabilization technique for time-varying...

Controllers for reachability specifications for hybrid systems
The problem of systematically synthesizing hybrid controllers which satisfy multiple control objectives is considered. We present a technique, based on the principles of optimal c...

Spatial balanced model reduction for flexible structures
This paper considers the problem of balanced model reduction for a class of distributed parameter systems. The system is assumed to have a finite-dimensional state vector as well ...

Robust L2-gain control for nonlinear systems with projection dynamics and input constraints: an example from traffic control
We formulate the L2-gain control problem for a general nonlinear, state-space system with projection dynamics in the state evolution and hard constraints on the set of admissible ...

Optimization of kanban-based manufacturing systems
We develop and analyze an algorithm to maximize the throughput of a serial kanbanbased manufacturing system with arbitrary arrival and service process distributions by adjusting t...
