Characterization of generic properties of linear structured systems for efficient computations
In this paper we investigate some of the computational aspects of generic properties of linear structured systems. In such systems only the zero/nonzero pattern of the system matrices is assumed to be known. For structured systems a number of characterizations of so-called generic properties have been obtained in the literature. The characterizations often have been presented by means of the graph associated to a linear structured system and are then expressed in terms of the maximal or minimal...

Circle criterion and boundary control systems in factor form: input-output approach
A circle criterion is obtained for a SISO Lur’e feedback control system consist- ing of a nonlinear static sector-type controller and a linear boundary control system in factor form on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert state space H previ- ously introduced by the authors (Grabowski and Callier, 1999). It is assumed for the latter that (a) the observation functional is infinite-time admissible, (b) the factor control vector satisfies a compatibility condition, and (c) the trans- fer function belongs...

Clocks and Insensitivity to Small Measurement Errors
This paper deals with the problem of stabilizing a system in the presence of small measurement errors. It is known that, for general stabilizable systems, there may be no possible memoryless state feedback which is robust with respect to such errors. In contrast, a precise result is given here, showing that, if a (continuous-time, finite-dimensional) system is stabilizable in any way whatsoever (even by means of a dynamic, time varying, discontinuous, feedback) then it can also be semiglobally...
Closed-loop stability of discrete linear single-variable systems
Closed-loop structure of decouplable linear multivariable systems
Considering a controllable, square, linear multivariable system, which is decouplable by static state feedback, we completely characterize in this paper the structure of the decoupled closed-loop system. The family of all attainable transfer function matrices for the decoupled closed-loop system is characterized, which also completely establishes all possible combinations of attainable finite pole and zero structures. The set of assignable poles as well as the set of fixed decoupling poles are determined,...

Colored decision process Petri nets: modeling, analysis and stability
In this paper we introduce a new modeling paradigm for developing a decision process representation called the Colored Decision Process Petri Net (CDPPN). It extends the Colored Petri Net (CPN) theoretic approach including Markov decision processes. CPNs are used for process representation taking advantage of the formal semantic and the graphical display. A Markov decision process is utilized as a tool for trajectory planning via a utility function. The main point of the CDPPN is its ability to...
Combining odometry and visual loop-closure detection for consistent topo-metrical mapping
We address the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by combining visual loop-closure detection with metrical information given by a robot odometry. The proposed algorithm extends a purely appearance-based loop-closure detection method based on bags of visual words [A. Angeli, D. Filliat, S. Doncieux and J.-A. Meyer, IEEE Transactions On Robotics, Special Issue on Visual SLAM 24 (2008) 1027–1037], which is able to detect when the robot has returned back to a previously visited...
