Deterministic minimax impulse control in finite horizon: the viscosity solution approach
We study here the impulse control minimax problem. We allow the cost functionals and dynamics to be unbounded and hence the value functions can possibly be unbounded. We prove that the value function of the problem is continuous. Moreover, the value function is characterized as the unique viscosity solution of an Isaacs quasi-variational inequality. This problem is in relation with an application in mathematical finance.
Differential flatness and defect: an overview
We introduce flat systems, which are equivalent to linear ones via a special type of feedback called endogenous. Their physical properties are subsumed by a linearizing output and they might be regarded as providing another nonlinear extension of Kalman's controllability. The distance to flatness is measured by a non-negative integer, the defect. We utilize differential algebra which suits well to the fact that, in accordance with Willems' standpoint, flatness and defect are best defined without...

Event-triggered design for multi-agent optimal consensus of Euler-Lagrangian systems
In this paper, a distributed optimal consensus problem is investigated to achieve the optimization of the sum of local cost function for a group of agents in the Euler-Lagrangian (EL) system form. We consider that the local cost function of each agent is only known by itself and cannot be shared with others, which brings challenges in this distributed optimization problem. A novel gradient-based distributed continuous-time algorithm with the parameters of EL system is proposed, which takes the distributed...

Exponential stability of Timoshenko beam system with delay terms in boundary feedbacks*
In this paper, the stability of a Timoshenko beam with time delays in the boundary input is studied. The system is fixed at the left end, and at the other end there are feedback controllers, in which time delays exist. We prove that this closed loop system is well-posed. By the complete spectral analysis, we show that there is a sequence of eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors of the system operator that forms a Riesz basis for the state Hilbert space. Hence the system satisfies the spectrum...

Fractional positive continuous-time linear systems and their reachability
A new class of fractional linear continuous-time linear systems described by state equations is introduced. The solution to the state equations is derived using the Laplace transform. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the internal and external positivity of fractional systems. Sufficient conditions are given for the reachability of fractional positive systems.
Generalized differential equations in the space of regulated functions (boundary value problems and controllability)
Boundary value problems for generalized linear differential equations and the corresponding controllability problems are dealt with. The adjoint problems are introduced in such a way that the usual duality theorems are valid. As a special case the interface boundary value problems are included. In contrast to the earlier papers by the author the right-hand side of the generalized differential equations as well as the solutions of this equation can be in general regulated functions (not necessarily...
