Formal analysis of piecewise affine systems through formula-guided refinement
Abstract-- We present a computational framework for identifying a set of initial states from which all trajectories of a piecewise affine (PWA) system satisfy a Linear Temporal Log...

Robustness of funnel control in the gap metric
For m-input, m-output, finite-dimensional, linear systems satisfying the classical assumptions of adaptive control (i.e., (i) minimum phase, (ii) relative degree one and (iii) pos...

Impulsive systems triggered by superposed renewal processes
We consider impulsive systems with several reset maps triggered by independent renewal processes, i.e., the intervals between jumps associated with a given reset map are identicall...

Nonuniform coverage and cartograms
In this paper, we investigate nonuniform coverage of a planar region by a network of autonomous, mobile agents. We derive centralized nonuniform coverage control laws from uniform ...

Distributed self-triggered control for multi-agent systems
Abstract-- It is desirable to limit the amount of communication and computation generated by each agent in a large multi-agent system. Event- and self-triggered control strategies ...

Generalized efficiency bounds in distributed resource allocation
Game theory is emerging as a popular tool for distributed control of multiagent systems. In order to take advantage of these game theoretic tools the interactions of the autonomous...

Deployment of drifters in a piecewise-constant flow environment
We study a deployment strategy for a group of vehicles that drift in an ambient flow field. Specifically, we address the case where the flow is always greater in magnitude than an ...

Circadian system modeling and phase control
Circadian rhythms are biological processes found in all living organisms, from plants to insects to mammals that repeat with a period close to, but not exactly, 24 hours. In the ab...
