In this paper, new characterizations for functional observability, functional detectability, and
structural functional observability (SFO) are developed, and based on them, the related …

Accurate wheel slip estimation facilitates Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs) with improved
localization and traversability monitoring which are crucial to their autonomy in challenging …

Controllability and observability are properties that establish the existence of full-state
controllers and observers, respectively. The notions of output controllability and functional …

We consider the design of functional estimators, ie, approaches to compute an estimate of a
nonlinear function of the state of a general nonlinear dynamical system subject to process …

This paper addresses the problem of determining the minimum set of state variables in a
network that need to be blocked from direct measurements in order to protect functional …

This paper addresses the aggregated monitoring problem for large-scale network systems
with a few dedicated sensors. Full state estimation of such systems is often infeasible due to …

We address the reward-shaping problem of large-scale multiagent systems (MASs) using
inverse reinforcement learning (RL). The learning MAS does not have prior knowledge of …

Functional observability and output controllability are properties that establish the conditions
respectively for the partial estimation and partial control of the system state. In the special …

In this letter the average state estimation problem on a large-scale system with only few
gateway nodes available for measurements is solved as the design problem of a reduced …

This article deals with the problem of controlling the average state of a large-scale linear
network to a constant reference value. We design an output-feedback controller such that no …
