Q-learning and enhanced policy iteration in discounted dynamic programming
We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...

Adaptive backstepping controller for uncertain systems with unknown input time-delay. Application to SI engines
In this paper, we study the equilibrium regulation of potentially unstable linear systems with an unknown input time-delay and unknown parameters in the plant. We extend recent res...

Distributed constrained optimization over noisy networks
In this paper we deal with two problems which are of great interest in the field of distributed decision making and control. The first problem we tackle is the problem of achieving...

Multivariable frequency domain identification using IV-based linear regression
Abstract-- Identification of output error models from frequency domain data generally results in a non-convex optimization problem. A well-known method to approach the output error...

A relaxation of Lyapunov conditions and controller synthesis for discrete-time periodic systems
This paper proposes a novel approach to stability analysis and controller synthesis for discrete-time periodically time-varying systems. Firstly, a relaxation of standard Lyapunov ...

Extremal collective behavior
Abstract-- Curves and natural frames can be used for describing and controlling motion in both biological and engineering contexts (e.g., pursuit and formation control). The geomet...

Generalized multicircumcenter trajectories for optimal design under near-independence
This work deals with trajectory optimization for a network of robotic sensors sampling a spatio-temporal random field. We examine the problem of minimizing over the space of networ...

Adaptive reservations for feedback control
In this paper, we start from an assigned control law with known probability distributions of its execution time. Our goal is to identify an optimised scheduling policy that allows ...
