Adaptive control for haptics with time-delay
This paper presents an adaptive haptic control for a one degree-of-freedom surgical device. The control addresses the problem of hitting a solid object too hard in the presence of ...

Asymmetric information diffusion via gossiping on static and dynamic networks
In this paper we consider the problem of gossiping in a network to diffuse the average of a sub-set of nodes, called sources, and directing it to another sub-set of nodes in the ne...

Convergence and convergence rate of stochastic gradient search in the case of multiple and non-isolated extrema
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...
