Control of High-Speed Underwater Vehicles
I (GB) was fortunate that early in my career I had the opportunity to work with Keith Glover. Keith had just begun his obsession with golf. A simple...

Regulating Cell Shape During Cytokinesis
During cytokinesis, the last step in cell division, cells must rearrange their shape so as to produce two daughter cells of equal size. To this end,...

Switching and Sliding Control of Limit Cycles in Planar Systems – Nonsmooth Bifurcation Techniques
Recently a new technique for controlling (or suppressing) limit cycles has been proposed in the literature [3], [1], [2] which is based on the...

Switched Stabilization of a Hovercraft
In this chapter we consider the problem of stabilizing a hovercraft with two different switched strategies. The first control algorithm is based on...

Review of Multivariable Control Applied to the VAAC Harrier and Remaining Open Questions
In the early nineties, a multivariable flight control law, designated FCL005, was developed for the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA),...

Sample Reuse Techniques for Probabilistic Robust Control
Sample reuse techniques have significantly reduced the numerical complexity of probabilistic robustness analysis. Existing results show that for a...

Model Reduction of Strongly Stable Nonstationary LPV Systems
This paper deals with the model reduction of nonstationary linear parametervarying (NLPV) systems. Our interest in LPV models is motivated by the...

B Center Manifold Theory
The purpose of the second part of the appendix is to review some elements of center manifold theory and extend certain existing results for...

Output-Nulling Subspaces in Strictly Proper Systems
In this chapter we shall need the concept of some invariant subspaces of the state space that are invariant under the state matrix modulo the action...

Parametric Spectral Estimation and Data Whitening
The knowledge of the noise Power Spectral Density is fundamental in signal processing for the detection algorithms and for the analysis of the data....

A Generalized Algebraic Riccati Equations
In the first part of this appendix, we study the coupled generalized algebraic Riccati equation

A Sequential Particle Algorithm that Keeps the Particle System Alive
A sequential particle algorithm proposed by Oudjane (2000) is studied here, which uses an adaptive random number of particles at each generation and...

Communicating Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes
In this chapter we introduce the automata framework CPDP, which stands for Communicating Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes. CPDP is developed...

Branching and Interacting Particle Interpretations of Rare Event Probabilities
This article focuses on branching particle interpretations of rare events. We connect importance sampling techniques with interacting particle...

Finite-Time Stability and Stabilization: State of the Art
Researchers have studied asymptotic stability since its emergence at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century with the fundamental...

Alternative Control Strategies for the NI
In this chapter we propose three alternative control strategies to stabilize the NI. These control strategies are switched and time-varying in...

An $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ Loop-Sha** Approach to Steering Control for High-Performance Motorcycles
A fixed-parameter active steering compensation scheme that is designed to improve the dynamic behaviour of high-performance motorcycles is...
-
An Approximate Dynamic Programming Approach to Decentralized Control of Stochastic Systems
We consider the problem of computing decentralized control policies for stochastic systems with finite state and action spaces. Synthesis of optimal...
