Stability of decentralized model predictive control of graph-based power flow systems via passivity

JP Koeln, AG Alleyne - Automatica, 2017 - Elsevier
This work presents a passivity-based stability guarantee for the decentralized control of
nonlinear power flow systems. This class of systems is characterized using a graph-based …

Hierarchical control for multi-domain coordination of vehicle energy systems with switched dynamics

HC Pangborn - 2019 - ideals.illinois.edu

A feedback control algorithm to steer networks to a Cournot–Nash equilibrium

C De Persis, N Monshizadeh - IEEE Transactions on Control of …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we propose distributed feedback control that steers a dynamical network to a
prescribed equilibrium corresponding to the so-called Cournot-Nash equilibrium. The …

Optimal regulation of flow networks with transient constraints

S Trip, T Scholten, C De Persis - Automatica, 2019 - Elsevier
This paper investigates the control of flow networks, where the control objective is to
regulate the measured output (eg storage levels) towards a desired value. We present a …

Robust hierarchical model predictive control of graph-based power flow systems

JP Koeln, AG Alleyne - Automatica, 2018 - Elsevier
A robust hierarchical model predictive control framework is presented for controlling a linear
system of dynamically coupled subsystems. A graph-based modeling framework captures …

Control-theoretic methods for biological networks

F Blanchini, EIS Hana, G Giordano… - 2018 IEEE conference …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Feedback is both a pillar of control theory and a pervasive principle of nature. For this
reason, control-theoretic methods are powerful to analyse the dynamic behaviour of …

A Markovian model for the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus

L Palopoli, D Fontanelli, M Frego, M Roveri - Automatica, 2023 - Elsevier
We propose a Markovian stochastic approach to model the spread of a SARS-CoV-2-like
infection within a closed group of humans. The model takes the form of a Partially …

The smallest eigenvalue of the generalized Laplacian matrix, with application to network-decentralized estimation for homogeneous systems

G Giordano, F Blanchini, E Franco… - … on Network Science …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The problem of synthesizing network-decentralized observers arises when several agents,
corresponding to the nodes of a network, exchange information about local measurements …

Structural analysis and control of dynamical networks

G Giordano - 2016 - air.uniud.it
A dynamical network is comprised of a finite number of subsystems, each having its own
dynamics, which interact according to a given interconnection topology. Dynamical networks …

Fair and sparse solutions in network-decentralized flow control

F Blanchini, CA Devia, G Giordano… - IEEE Control …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We proposed network-decentralized control strategies, in which each actuator can
exclusively rely on local information, without knowing the network topology and the external …
