Data based modeling and control of a dual-stage actuator hard disk drive
— A data-based approach is presented for modeling and controller design of a dual-stage servo actuator in a hard disk drive. The servo actuator in this hard disk drive consists o...

Control of nonlinear systems with full state constraint using a Barrier Lyapunov Function
— This paper presents a control for state-constrained nonlinear systems in strict feedback form to achieve output tracking. To prevent states from violating the constraints, we e...

Parametric regret in uncertain Markov decision processes
— We consider decision making in a Markovian setup where the reward parameters are not known in advance. Our performance criterion is the gap between the performance of the best ...

Overcoming limitations of game-theoretic distributed control
—Recently, game theory has been proposed as a tool for cooperative control. Specifically, the interactions of a multiagent distributed system are modeled as a non-cooperative ga...

Reachability analysis for continuous systems under shared control: Application to user-interface design
— We extend techniques for a reachability-based ion to continuous systems under shared control, that is, systems which have both inputs controlled by the automation and inputs co...

A limiting property of the matrix exponential with application to multi-loop control
— A limiting property of the matrix exponential is proven: For a real square matrix, where the log norm of the upper-left n by n block approaches negative infinity in a limiting...

Stabilization of networked control systems via non-monotone control ^lyapunov functions
— This paper deals with stabilization of networked control systems (NCS) affected by uncertain time-varying delays and data packet dropouts. We point out that such network effect...

Boundary feedback control for heat exchange enhancement in 2D magnetohydrodynamic channel flow by extremum seeking
Abstract— The heat exchange efficiency of electrically conducting fluids can drop dramatically when they interact with externally imposed magnetic fields. The movement of such...
