Exploring and exploiting routing opportunities in wireless ad-hoc networks
Abstract--In this paper, d-AdaptOR, a distributed opportunistic routing scheme for multi-hop wireless ad-hoc networks is proposed. The proposed scheme utilizes a reinforcement lear...

Reduced complexity models in the identification of dynamical networks: Links with sparsification problems
In many applicative scenarios it is important to derive information about the topology and the internal connections of more dynamical systems interacting together. Examples can be ...

Real-time MPC - Stability through robust MPC design
Recent results have suggested that online Model Predictive Control (MPC) can be computed quickly enough to control fast sampled systems. High-speed applications impose a hard real-...

A Distributed Hybrid Filter for target tracking in sensor networks
In this paper, we propose the Distributed Hybrid Filter (DHF) to overcome the performance degradation in Sigma Point Filters caused by bad linearization. A quantifiable criterion t...

Switching time estimation for linear switched systems: an algebraic approach
This paper aims at estimating the switching time for linear switched systems, i.e. the time instant when a sub-model is switched on while another one is switched off. Assuming that...

Quasivelocities and stabilization of relative equilibria of underactuated nonholonomic systems
Abstract-- This paper is concerned with the theory of quasivelocities and its applications to control. The equations of motion of a mechanical system are derived using the Lagrange

Polynomial-time solution of change detection problems
Change detection problems are ubiquitous, but there are no existing tractable techniques for -exact solution of discrete-time, discrete-observation problems. A polynomialtime algor...

A multiplay model for rate-independent and rate-dependent hysteresis with nonlocal memory
Abstract-- We consider the multiplay model for hysteresis with nonlocal memory. This model consists of N mass/spring/dashpot with deadzone elements. The hysteresis map of the multi...
