4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve... -
6 Stochastic Passivity
Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive... -
C Appendix: The Discrete DLMI Method
We consider the following system: $$ x_{k+1}=A_kx_k + B_k w_k, \quad k=0,1,... -
Rational Positive Systems for Reaction Networks
The purpose of the lecture associated with this paper is to present problems, concepts, and theorems of control and system theory for a subclass of... -
Completion Problems for Positive Matrices with Minimal Rank
Matrix completion problems studies the partial matrices, that is, a rectangular matrix some of whose entries are specified, and the remainder entries... -
Stability of Linear Systems and Positive Semigroups of Symmetric Matrices
The role of Lyapunov operators in stability theory is well-known. In this paper we present an interesting characterization of Lyapunov operators. We... -
Estimation and Strong Approximation of Hidden Markov Models
We give novel conditions for the existence of the limit of the normalized log-likelihood function for a finite-state continuous read-out Hidden... -
Parameter Identifiability of Nonlinear Biological Systems
Parameters characterizing the internal behaviour of biological and physiological systems are usually not directly accessible to measurement. Their... -
Qualitative Analysis of Regulatory Graphs: A Computational Tool Based on a Discrete Formal Framework
Building upon the logical approach developed by the group of R. Thomas in Brussels, we are defining a rigorous mathematical framework to model... -
Differential Systems with Positive Variables
The variables of biological, ecological, or chemical systems are often positive, because they measure concentrations, numbers, ...We study polynomial... -
A Characterization of Reachable Positive Periodic Descriptor Systems
Periodic descriptor system with nonnegative restrictions and its associated invariant cyclically augmented system (ICAS) are analyzed. The weakly... -
Linear Positive Systems and Phase-type Representations
In this paper we try to put a bridge between the theory of phase-type distributions and the general theory of positive linear systems. The phase-type... -
Modal Logic and Dioids
This paper presents results concerning the relations between a propositional modal logic (NK-logic) and the algebra of dioids. The technique of... -
Guaranteed Parameter Estimation for Cooperative Models
The parameters of cooperative models are estimated in a boundederror context, i.e., all uncertain quantities are assumed to be bounded, with known... -
On the Positive Reachability of 2D Positive Systems
Local reachability of two-dimensional (2D) positive systems, by means of positive scalar inputs, is addressed by means of a graph theoretic approach.... -
The Character of an Idempotent-analytic Nonlinear Small Gain Theorem
In this paper a general nonlinear input-to-state stability small gain theory is described using idempotent analytic techniques. The theorem is proved... -
Positive Systems with Nondecreasing Controls. Existence and Well-posedness
In the paper we consider a linear system with nondecreasing controls and a convex cost functional. Basing it on classical methods and the theory of... -
A Appendix: Introduction to Stochastic Differential Equations
In this appendix we bring some basic results concerning stochastic differential equations of the Ito type which systems with state-multiplicative... -
3 Continuous-time Systems: General Filtering
In this chapter we bring the solution of the continuous-time stationary filtering using a general-type filter [45], [41]. Recently, the solution of... -
