Sixty years of cybernetics: a comparison of approaches to solving the control problem
The H2 control problem consists of stabilizing a control system while minimizing the H2 norm of its transfer function. Several solutions to this problem are available. For systems in state space form, an optimal regulator can be obtained by solving two algebraic Riccati equations. For systems described by transfer functions, either Wiener-Hopf optimization or projection results can be applied. The optimal regulator is then obtained using operations with proper stable rational matrices: inner-outer...
Sliding mode controller-observer design for multivariable linear systems with unmatched uncertainty
This paper presents sufficient conditions for the sliding mode control of a system with disturbance input. The behaviour of the sliding dynamics in the presence of unmatched uncertainty is also studied. When a certain sufficient condition on the gain feedback matrix of the discontinuous controller and the disturbance bound holds, then the disturbance does not affect the sliding system. The design of asymptotically stable sliding observers for linear multivariable systems is presented. A sliding...
Sliding-mode pinning control of complex networks
In this paper, a novel approach for controlling complex networks is proposed; it applies sliding-mode pinning control for a complex network to achieve trajectory tracking. This control strategy does not require the network to have the same coupling strength on all edges; and for pinned nodes, the ones with the highest degree are selected. The illustrative example is composed of a network of 50 nodes; each node dynamics is a Chen chaotic attractor. Two cases are presented. For the first case the...
Smooth homogeneous asymptotically stabilizing feedback controls
Smooth homogeneous asymptotically stabilizing feedback controls
If a smooth nonlinear affine control system has a controllable linear approximation, a standard technique for constructing a smooth (linear) asymptotically stabilizing feedbackcontrol is via the LQR (linear, quadratic, regulator) method. The nonlinear system may not have a controllable linear approximation, but instead may be shown to be small (or large) time locally controllable via a high order, homogeneous approximation. In this case one can attempt to construct an asymptotically stabilizing...
Sobre la estabilización robusta para ciertos tipos de sistemas lineales.
In this paper we consider the problem of robust stabilization of systems with complex pole variations. We show that techniques from the complex function field can also be used to treat these cases. In particular the problem is reduced to one of interpolation theory on the disk.

Spatially-distributed coverage optimization and control with limited-range interactions
This paper presents coordination algorithms for groups of mobile agents performing deployment and coverage tasks. As an important modeling constraint, we assume that each mobile agent has a limited sensing or communication radius. Based on the geometry of Voronoi partitions and proximity graphs, we analyze a class of aggregate objective functions and propose coverage algorithms in continuous and discrete time. These algorithms have convergence guarantees and are spatially distributed with respect...

Special issue on decentralized control of large scale complex systems
This special issue provides information on current and future research directions in the emerging field of Decentralized Control of Large Scale Complex Systems. There is generally adopted view that a dynamic system is large scale complex whenever it is necessary to partition its analysis or synthesis problem to manageable subproblems. Its fundamental characteristics in modeling and control are high dimensionality, uncertainty, information structure constraints, and delays. Theory of large scale...
