Position estimation and fall detection using visual receding horizon estimation
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the position of a human in the image frame and to use this information to diagnose falls. A nonholonomic locomotion model describes the dis...

A multiplay model for rate-independent and rate-dependent hysteresis with nonlocal memory
Abstract-- We consider the multiplay model for hysteresis with nonlocal memory. This model consists of N mass/spring/dashpot with deadzone elements. The hysteresis map of the multi...

Time-varying path following control for port-Hamiltonian systems
This paper is devoted to path following control for port-Hamiltonian systems whose desired path is timevarying. Most of the existing results on path following can only take care of...

The asymmetric sinistral/dextral Markov-Dubins problem
Abstract-- We consider a variation of the classical MarkovDubins problem dealing with curvature-constrained, shortest paths in the plane with prescribed initial and terminal positi...

Bertrand games between multi-class queues
We develop a framework to study differentiated services when there are competing network providers. We adopt a multi-class queueing model, where providers post prices for various s...

Asynchronous distributed optimization with minimal communication and connectivity preservation
Abstract-- We consider problems where multiple agents cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchan...

Beyond local optimality: An improved approach to hybrid model learning
Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...

Stochastic optimization for Markov modulated networks with application to delay constrained wireless scheduling
Abstract-- We consider a wireless system with a small number of delay constrained users and a larger number of users without delay constraints. We develop a scheduling algorithm th...

A graph-theoretic approach to distributed control over networks
We consider a network of control systems connected over a graph. Considering the graph structure as constraints on the set of permissible controllers, we show that such systems ar...
