Input-output instability patterns of Chemical Reaction Networks
This paper describes a criterion for qualitative analysis of open Chemical Reaction Networks endowed with mass-action kinetics. The method can be applied to an extremely broad clas...

Observer-based control of discrete-time piecewise affine systems: Exploiting continuity twice
Output-based feedback control of discrete-time hybrid systems is an important problem, as in practice it is rarely the case that the full state variable is available for feedback. ...

Left invertibility of discrete systems with finite inputs and quantized output
Abstract-- The aim of this paper is to address left invertibility for dynamical systems with inputs and outputs in discrete sets. We study systems that evolve in discrete time with...

Compliant motion tasks for robot manipulators subject to joint velocity constraints
We develop non-smooth motion controllers that enable redundant manipulators to perform surface tasks, that involve force/torque interactions. The robot joint rates are constrained ...

Topological identification in networks of dynamical systems
The paper deals with the problem of reconstructing the tree-like topological structure of a network of linear dynamical systems. A distance function is defined in order to evaluat...

Information fusion strategies from distributed filters in packet-drop networks
Abstract-- In this paper we study different distributed estimation schemes for stochastic discrete time linear systems where the communication between the sensors and the estimatio...

Tracking controllers for small UAVs with wind disturbances: Theory and flight results
This work outlines two approaches for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing surveillance with fixed cameras. Small UAVs present significant control challenges, due to re...

Structured semidefinite representation of some convex sets
Linear matrix Inequalities (LMIs) have had a major impact on control but formulating a problem as an LMI is an art. Recently there is the beginnings of a theory of which problems ...
