On decentralized negotiation of optimal consensus
A consensus problem consists of finding a distributed control strategy that brings the state or output of a group of agents to a common value, a consensus point. In this paper, we...

Lyapunov conditions for input-to-state stability of impulsive systems
This paper introduces appropriate concepts of input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral-ISS for impulsive systems, i.e., dynamical systems that evolve according to ordinary diff...

Iterative minimization of H2 control performance criteria
Data-based control design methods most often consist of iterative adjustment of the controller's parameters towards the parameter values which minimize an H2 performance crit...

Probabilistic reachability and safety for controlled discrete time stochastic hybrid systems
In this work, probabilistic reachability over a finite horizon is investigated for a class of discrete time stochastic hybrid systems with control inputs. A suitable embedding of ...

Kalman filters in non-uniformly sampled multirate systems: For FDI and beyond
This paper consists of two parts. The first part is the development of a datadriven Kalman filter for a non-uniformly sampled multirate (NUSM) system, including identification of ...

Stability and stabilization of nonuniform sampling systems
This paper is concerned with nonuniform sampling systems, where the sampling interval is time-varying within a certain known bound. The system is transformed into a time-varying d...

Exact finite approximations of average-cost countable Markov decision processes
For a countable-state Markov decision process we introduce an embedding which produces a finite-state Markov decision process. The finite-state embedded process has the same optim...

Notes on averaging over acyclic digraphs and discrete coverage control
In this paper we study averaging algorithms and coverage control laws in a unified light. First, we characterize the convergence properties of averaging algorithms over acyclic di...

An LFT approach to parameter estimation
In this paper we consider a unified framework for parameter estimation problems which arise in a system identification context. In this framework, the parameters to be estimated a...
