We consider the problem of designing static feedback gains subject to a priori structural
constraints, which is a nonconvex problem in general. Previous work has focused on either …

Many large-scale systems have inherent structures that can be exploited to facilitate their
analysis and design. This thesis investigates how chordal graph properties can be used to …

This paper is concerned with the stability (gain and phase) margin of networked dynamical
systems, eg, vehicles in formation, each of which has access to the state of its neighbors and …

We identify a broad class of decentralized output-feedback LQG systems for which the
optimal control strategies have a simple and intuitive estimation structure. We consider …

It is well-known that linear quadratic regulators (LQR) enjoy guaranteed stability margins,
whereas linear quadratic Gaussian regulators (LQG) do not. In this letter, we consider …

In this article, we consider a cooperative control problem involving a heterogeneous network
of dynamically decoupled continuous-time linear plants. The (output-feedback) controllers …

In this paper, we show how autonomous vehicles performing a certain task can be controlled
from one command center in order to achieve certain goals. The command center provides …

We consider a dynamically decoupled network of agents each with a local output-feedback
controller. We assume each agent is a node in a directed acyclic graph and the controllers …

Pulsed light sources are a critical component of modern lithography, with fine light beam
wavelength control paramount for wafer etching accuracy. We study optimal wavelength …

We consider the problem of controlling a set of dynamically decoupled plants where the
plants' subcontrollers communicate with each other according to a fixed and known network …
