Non-monotonic Lyapunov functions for stability of discrete time nonlinear and switched systems
Abstract— We relax the monotonicity requirement of Lyapunov’s theorem to enlarge the class of functions that can provide certificates of stability. To this end, we propose two...

Min-Max predictive control of a pilot plant using a QP approach
— The practical implementation of Min-Max MPC (MMMPC) controllers is limited by the computational burden required to compute the control law. This problem can be circumvented by ...

Lossless scalar functions: Boundary interpolation, Schur algorithm and Ober's canonical form
Abstract— In [1] a balanced canonical form for continuoustime lossless systems was presented. This form has a tridiagonal dynamical matrix A and the useful property that the corr...
