guaranteed cost control of discrete linear systems.
optimal decoupling of previewed signals in the discrete-time case
The synthesis of a feedforward unit for optimal decoupling of measurable or previewed signals in discrete-time linear time-invariant systems is considered. It is shown that an optimal compensator can be achieved by connecting a finite impulse response (FIR) system and a stable dynamic unit. To derive the FIR system convolution profiles an easily implementable computational scheme based on pseudoinversion (possibly nested to avoid computational constraints) is proposed, while the dynamic unit...
-optimal rejection with preview: geometric constraints and dynamic feedforward solutions via spectral factorization
In this work, a feedforward dynamic controller is devised in order to achieve H2-optimal rejection of signals known with finite preview, in discrete-time systems. The feedforward approach requires plant stability and, more generally, robustness with respect to parameter uncertainties. On standard assumptions, those properties can be guaranteed by output dynamic feedback, while dynamic feedforward is specifically aimed at taking advantage of the available preview of the signals to be rejected, in...
control design for an adaptive optics system
In this paper we first present a full order controller for a multi- input, multi-output (MIMO) adaptive optics system. We apply model reduction techniques to the full order controller and demonstrate that the closed-loop (CL) system with the reduced order controller achieves the same high level of performance. Upon closer examination of the structure of the reduced order controller it is found that the dynamical behavior of the reduced order controller can be accurately approximated by...
control of discrete-time linear systems constrained in state by equality constraints
In this paper, stabilizing problems in control design are addressed for linear discrete-time systems, reflecting equality constraints tying together some state variables. Based on an enhanced representation of the bounded real lemma for discretetime systems, the existence of a state feedback control for such conditioned stabilization is proven, and an LMI-based design procedure is provided. The control law gain computation method used circumvents generally an ill-conditioned singular design task....
sliding mode control for Markov jump systems with interval time-varying delays and general transition probabilities
This paper is devoted to design sliding mode controller for continuous-time Markov jump systems with interval time-varying delays and general transition probabilities. An integral sliding surface is constructed and its reachability is guaranteed via a sliding mode control law. Meanwhile, a linearisation strategy is applied to treat the nonlinearity induced by general transition probabilities. Using a separation method based on Finsler lemma to eliminate the coupling among Lyapunov variables and...
Hamiltonian identification for quantum systems: well-posedness and numerical approaches
This paper considers the inversion problem related to the manipulation of quantum systems using laser-matter interactions. The focus is on the identification of the field free Hamiltonian and/or the dipole moment of a quantum system. The evolution of the system is given by the Schrödinger equation. The available data are observations as a function of time corresponding to dynamics generated by electric fields. The well-posedness of the problem is proved, mainly focusing on the uniqueness of the...

Hierarchical decomposition of fuzzy controllers based on meta-knowledge.
This paper focuses on the problem of decomposing multivariable fuzzy controllers using a hierarchical approach based on the application of meta-knowledge. Usually, hierarchical fuzzy systems are based on a cascade structure of fuzzy logic controllers where the output of each level is considered as one of the inputs to the following level. The paper introduces a different approach to the idea of hierarchy, where the output of a level is considered not as input to the following level controller but...

High Resolution Tracking of Cell Membrane Dynamics in Moving Cells: an Electrifying Approach
Cell motility is an integral part of a diverse set of biological processes. The quest for mathematical models of cell motility has prompted the development of automated approaches for gathering quantitative data on cell morphology, and the distribution of molecular players involved in cell motility. Here we review recent approaches for quantifying cell motility, including automated cell segmentation and tracking. Secondly, we present our own novel...

High-Order Control Variations and Small-Time Local Controllability
The importance of “control variations” for obtaining local approximations of the reachable set of nonlinear control systems is well known. Heuristically, if one can construct control variations in all possible directions, then the considered control system is small-time locally controllable (STLC). Two concepts of control variations of higher order are introduced for the case of smooth control systems. The relation between these variations and the small-time local controllability is studied and...
