Learning approaches to the Witsenhausen counterexample from a view of potential games
— Since Witsenhausen put forward his remarkable counterexample in 1968, there have been many attempts to develop efficient methods for solving this non-convex functional optimiz...

Nonlinear control of a buoyancy-driven airship
— The control of a new kind of airship is presented. By restricting its flight to a vertical plane, the mathematical model is reduced. The simplified model is proved to be mini...

Synchronization with partial state feedback on SO(n)
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of constructing a distributed feedback law to achieve synchronization for a group of k agents whose states evolve on SO(n) and whi...

An intrinsic behavioural approach to the double time axis paradox
— Behavioural theory is typically developed on the double time axis. On the other hand it is known that there are intrinsic difficulties with double time axis theorems in the in...

Controllability of the rotation of a quantum planar molecule
Abstract— We consider the simplest model for controlling the rotation of a molecule by the action of an electric field, namely a quantum planar pendulum. This problem consists i...

Schur-based decomposition for reachability analysis of linear time-invariant systems
— We present a method for complexity reduction in reachability analysis and controller synthesis via a Schur-based decomposition for LTI systems. The decomposition yields either ...

Geometric control of particle manipulation in a two-dimensional fluid
— Manipulation of particles suspended in fluids is crucial for many applications, such as precision machining, chemical processes, bio-engineering, and self-feeding of microorga...
