Fast filtering algorithms arising from linear filtering and estimation are nonlinear dynamical systems whose initial values are the statistics of the observation process. In this paper, we give a fairly complete description of the phase portrait for such nonlinear dynamical systems, as well as a special type of naturally related matrix Riccati equation.
We review the realization theory of polynomial (transfer function) matrices via "pure" generalized state space system models. The concept of an irreducible-at-infinity generalized state space realization of a polynomial matrix is defined and the mechanism of the "cancellations" of "decoupling zeros at infinity" is closely examined. The difference between the concepts of irreducibility and minimality of generalized state space realizations of polynomial (transfer function) matrices is pointed out...
This paper deals with the problem of tracking a reference signal while maintaining the stability of the closed loop system for linear time invariant systems with delays in the states. We show that conditions for the existence of a solution to this problem (the so-called regulation problem), similar to those known for the case of delay-free linear systems, may be given. We propose a solution for both the state and error feedback regulation.
This paper deals with a multiobjective control problem for nonlinear discrete time systems. The problem consists of finding a control strategy which minimizes a number of performance indexes subject to state and control constraints. A solution to this problem through the Receding Horizon approach is proposed. Under standard assumptions, it is shown that the resulting control law guarantees closed-loop stability. The proposed method is also used to provide a robustly stabilizing solution to the problem...
In this paper, we treat the class of nonlinear uncertain dynamic systems that was considered in [3,2,1,4]. We consider continuous-time dynamical systems whose nominal part is linear and whose uncertain part is norm-bounded. We study the problems of state observation and obtaining stabilizing controller for uncertain nonlinear systems, where the uncertainties are characterized by known bounds.
The disturbance decoupling problem is studied for linear delay systems. The structural approach is used to design a decoupling precompensator. The realization of the given precompensator by static state feedback is studied. Using various structural and geometric tools, a detailed description of the feedback is given, in particular, derivative of the delayed disturbance can be needed in the realization of the precompensator.
We are extending to linear recurrent codes, i.e., to time-varying convolutional codes, most of the classic structural properties of fixed convolutional codes. We are also proposing a new connection between fixed convolutional codes and linear block codes. These results are obtained thanks to a module-theoretic framework which has been previously developed for linear control.

In this paper we show that the set of all mild solutions of the Cauchy problem for a functional-differential inclusion in a separable Banach space E of the form x’(t) ∈ A(t)x(t) + F(t,xt) is an -set. Here A(t) is a family of linear operators and F is a Carathéodory type multifunction. We use the existence result proved by V. V. Obukhovskiĭ [22] and extend theorems on the structure of solutions sets obtained by N. S. Papageorgiou [23] and Ya. I. Umanskiĭ [32].
This paper deals with output feedback synthesis for Timed Event Graphs (TEG) in dioid algebra. The feedback synthesis is done in order to (1) stabilize a TEG without decreasing its original production rate, (2) optimize the initial marking of the feedback, (3) delay as much as possible the tokens input.
