Abstract— This paper develops a novel mechanism for managing the performance and feasibility trade off withing predictive control. Specifically, it demonstrates that the potenti...
— In this paper we discuss the consensus problem for a network of dynamic agents with undirected information flow and random switching topologies. The switching is determined by...
— State estimation is addressed for a class of discrete-time systems that may switch among different modes taken from a finite set. The system and measurement equations of each ...

— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...
Abstract— This paper considers a sensor based haptic feedback law for control of the longitudinal dynamics of a vehicle. The environment impedance is implemented in parallel as f...
— We consider the problem of designing controllers for spatially-varying interconnected systems distributed in one spatial dimension. The matrix structure of such systems can be ...
— This paper presents a new model for so-called water hammer equations based on a collocation method. This model is shown to fairly represent possible leak effects in a pipeline ...
— This paper proposes distributed control laws for maintaining the shape of a formation of mobile autonomous agents in the plane for which the desired shape is defined in terms ...
