This paper illustrates the derivation of a linear parameter varying (LPV) model
approximation of a turbocharged Spark-Ignition (SI) automotive engine and its usage in …

The complexity of modern chemical and petrochemical plants is becoming increasingly
problematic in the recent years. At the same time, the demands to ensure safety and …

Abstract An effective Air-to-Fuel Ratio (AFR) control is paramount to ensure a good
combustion and high catalyst efficiency. This work addresses the problem of determining …

In this paper, an integrated fault estimation (FE) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) method is
proposed for linear parameter varying (LPV) systems using the parameter-dependent …

This article studies the H∞ fault estimation (FE) problem for linear discrete time‐variant
systems with actuator and sensor saturations. To handle the saturation nonlinearities for FE …

The present paper addresses an observer design for fault estimation applied to polynomial
linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. The main contribution corresponds to a design to …

Herein, we investigate the robust formation control problem for a group of unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) with system uncertainty. A hierarchical formation control strategy is …

This special issue contains six papers on the topic of linear parameter varying systems. The
papers consider quite different theoretical problems, although four are related to either fault …

This paper presents a real-time, nonlinear, control-oriented model for a two-stroke, spark-
ignition aircraft engine. The safety and reliability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are …

The paper presents conditions to assure stochastic stability for a nonlinear model. The
proposed model is used to represent the input-output dynamics of the angle of aperture of …
