This paper concerns the control and the stability analysis of pneumatic actuators, which are
nowadays of widespread use in the industry. A problem related to the use of such actuators …

This paper considers asymptotic stability and transient performance of discrete-time
piecewise affine systems. We propose a procedure to construct a nested sequence of finite …

The problem of jointly synthesizing a supervisor, a measurement scheduler, and a feedback
controller for discrete-time linear systems is considered. It is shown that open-loop …

Given a multi-modal linear plant, the objective is to obtain a mode switching sequence and a
switching-path-dependent feedback controller that jointly stabilize the plant and achieve a …

The paper is concerned with control of switched linear systems, and proves two new
fundamental results (equivalence and separation) about feedback policies for these …

This paper considers exponential stability and quadratic performance of discrete-time
piecewise affine systems. We propose a procedure to obtain an increasing sequence of …

This paper concerns the control of pneumatic actuators, which are nowadays of widespread
use in the industry. A problem related to the use of such actuators is the so-called “stick-slip” …

A complete stability characterization is given for a special class of discrete-time piecewise
linear systems. The characterization is based on solving and then combining two separate …

A procedure for the stability analysis of discrete-time piecewise affine systems is proposed,
where a sequence of finite-state symbolic models is constructed such that each of these …

This paper concerns the stability analysis of non-linear, switching control laws for pneumatic
actuators. A first approach to the problem has been proposed by the authors in [1], under the …
