Policy iteration based feedback control
It is well known that stochastic control systems can be viewed as Markov decision processes (MDPs) with continuous state spaces. In this paper, we propose to apply the policy iter...

Output-feedback stabilization of an unstable wave equation
We consider the problem of stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation that contains instability at its free end and control on the opposite end. In contrast to classical col...

Uniform semiglobal practical asymptotic stability for non-autonomous cascaded systems and applications
It is due to the modularity they provide that results for cascaded systems have proved their utility in numerous control applications as well as in the development of general cont...

A connection between formation infeasibility and velocity alignment in kinematic multi-agent systems
In this paper, a feedback control strategy that achieves convergence of a multi-agent system to a desired formation configuration is proposed for both the cases of agents with sin...

Injectivity analysis using interval analysis: Application to structural identifiability
This paper presents a new numerical algorithm based on interval analysis able to prove that a differentiable function f : A Rn Rn is injective. This algorithm also performs a par...

A mathematical framework for the control of piecewise-affine models of gene networks
This article introduces results on the control of gene networks, in the context of piecewise-affine models. We propose an extension of this well-documented class of models, where ...
