The notions of passivity and positive realness are fundamental concepts in classical control
theory, but the use of the terms has varied. For LTI systems, these two concepts capture the …

We prove that stochastic gradient descent efficiently converges to the global optimizer of the
maximum likelihood objective of an unknown linear time-invariant dynamical system from a …

Although comprehensive knowledge of cyber-physical systems (CPS) is becoming a must
for researchers, practitioners, system designers, policy makers, system managers, and …

A class of Lyapunov functions is proposed for discrete-time linear systems interconnected
with a cone bounded nonlinearity. Using these functions, we propose sufficient conditions …

Embedded real-time systems face significant challenges in thermal management. While
earlier research on feedback thermal control has shown promise in dealing with the …

In order to guarantee safe human-robot interaction in single-master/single-slave
teleoperation systems, passivity-based controllers have traditionally been developed for …

Wafer stage is an important mechatronic unit of industrial lithography tool for manufacturing
integrated circuits. This paper presents a novel state/model-free variable-gain discrete …

We consider the problem of distributed generation and demand control for primary
frequency regulation in power networks, such that stability and optimality of the power …

Real-life cyber physical systems, such as automotive vehicles, building automation systems,
and groups of unmanned vehicles are monitored and controlled by networked control …

A generalized nonlinear control scheme suitable to regulate any state variable at any
desired reference value, for a class of nonlinear Hamiltonian-passive systems that includes …
