Feed forward initialization of hysteretic systems
Abstract-- The paper analyzes a strategy to force stepconvergent dynamical hysteretic systems to a well-defined output value using only feed forward. Due to the multi-valued input-...

Consensus in non-commutative spaces
Convergence analysis of consensus algorithms is revisited in the light of the Hilbert distance. The Lyapunov function used in the early analysis by Tsitsiklis is shown to be the Hi...

Integrator forwarding via dynamic scaling
The problem of integrator forwarding is revisited using the notion of dynamically scaled (control) Lyapunov function. A new class of dynamic stabilizing control laws is presented, ...

The behavior of linear time invariant RLC circuits
It is shown that just as we did for a purely resistive network [10], that circuit analysis is very simple if the elements are described not by potentials across and currents throug...

On the dissipativity of pseudorational behaviors
This paper studies dissipativity for a class of infinite-dimensional systems, called pseudorational, in the behavioral context. A basic equivalence condition for dissipativity is e...

Bifurcation of singular arcs in an optimal control problem for cancer immune system interactions under treatment
A mathematical model for cancer treatment that includes immunological activity is considered as an optimal control problem. In the uncontrolled system there exist both a region of ...

Exponential convergence of nonlinear Luenberger observers
In this paper, it is shown that under an extra observability assumption the nonlinear Luenberger observer as introduced recently in a previous publication may have an exponential ...

On optimal input design in system identification for control
Abstract-- This paper considers a recently proposed framework for experiment design in system identification for control. We will consider model based control design methods, such ...

Performance limitations of the servomechanism problem when the number of tracking/disturbance poles increases
In this paper, we study the cheap control problem and determine what some of the inherent system limitations are in achieving high performance for LTI systems. In particular, we ob...
