Semi-smooth Newton methods are analyzed for the Signorini problem. A proper regularization is introduced which guarantees that the semi-smooth Newton method is superlinearly convergent for each regularized problem. Utilizing a shift motivated by an augmented Lagrangian framework, to the regularization term, the solution to each regularized problem is feasible. Convergence of the regularized problems is shown and a report on numerical experiments is given.
In order to achieve a short regulation cycle, time-optimal control has been considered in the past. However, the sensitivity to errors and uncertainties, and implementation difficulties in the practical systems, have incited other research directions to meet this objective. In this paper, soft Variable Structure Control (VSC) is analyzed from the perspective of linear time-delay systems with input constraint. The desired fast convergence under a smoothly varying control signal is obtained. The stability...
The matrix pencil completion problem introduced in [J. J. Loiseau, S. Mondié, I. Zaballa, and P. Zagalak: Assigning the Kronecker invariants to a matrix pencil by row or column completions. Linear Algebra Appl. 278 (1998)] is reconsidered and the latest results achieved in that field are discussed.
The problem of model matching by state feedback is reconsidered and some of the latest results are discussed.
In order to better understand the dynamics of acute leukemia, and in particular to find
theoretical conditions for the efficient delivery of drugs in acute myeloblastic leukemia,
we investigate stability of a system modeling its cell dynamics. The overall system is a cascade connection of sub-systems consisting of distributed
delays and static nonlinear feedbacks. Earlier results on local asymptotic stability are
improved by the analysis of the linearized...
In this paper we consider second order evolution equations with unbounded feedbacks. Under a regularity assumption we show that observability properties for the undamped problem imply decay estimates for the damped problem. We consider both uniform and non uniform decay properties.

A stabilization problem of second-order systems by non-linear feedback is considered. We discuss the case when only position feedback is available. The non-linear stabilizer is constructed by placing actuators and sensors in the same location and by using a parallel compensator. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved by LaSalle's theorem. The distinctive feature of the solution is that no transformation to a first-order system is invoked. The results of analytic and numerical computations...
We intend to conduct a fairly complete study on Timoshenko beams with pointwise feedback controls and seek to obtain information about the eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, Riesz-Basis-Property, spectrum-determined-growth-condition, energy decay rate and various stabilities for the beams. One major difficulty of the present problem is the non-simplicity of the eigenvalues. In fact, we shall indicate in this paper situations where the multiplicity of the eigenvalues is at least two. We build all the above-mentioned...

In this paper new necessary and sufficient conditions for static output feedback stabilizability for continuous and discrete time linear time invariant systems have been proposed. These conditions form the basis for the procedure of static output feedback controller design proposed in this paper. The proposed LMI based algorithms are computationally simple and tightly connected with the Lyapunov stability theory and LQ optimal state feedback design. The structure of the output feedback gain matrix,...
In this paper we consider stochastic differential equations on Banach spaces (not Hilbert). The system is semilinear and the principal operator generating a C₀-semigroup is perturbed by a class of bounded linear operators considered as feedback operators from an admissible set. We consider the corresponding family of measure valued functions and present sufficient conditions for weak compactness. Then we consider applications of this result to several interesting optimal feedback control problems....
