A flatness-based flight trajectory planning/replanning strategy is proposed for a quadrotor
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In the nominal situation (fault-free case), the objective is to …

Saturated Switching Systems treats the problem of actuator saturation, inherent in all
dynamical systems by using two approaches: positive invariance in which the controller is …

We discuss the behaviour of a thin soap film facing a frame element: the pressure in the
Plateau border around the frame is lower than the film pressure, and the film thins out over a …

The study and the determination of polyhedral regions of local stability for linear systems
subject to control saturation is addressed. The analysis of the nonlinear behavior of the …

A polynomial approach is pursued for locally stabilizing discrete-time linear systems subject
to input constraints. Using the Youla–Kučera parametrization and geometric properties of …

This paper studies the problem of estimating the region of attraction of linear discrete-time
systems with asymmetric input saturation. Using a Piecewise Quadratic Lyapunov function …

A polynomial approach is pursued for locally stabilizing discrete-time linear systems subject
to input constraints. Using the Youla-Kucera parametrization and the extended Farkas …

The objective of fault-tolerant control (FTC) is to minimise the effect of faults on system
performance (stability, trajectory tracking, etc.). However, the majority of the existing FTC …

The research and application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has been a hot topic
recently. A UAV is dened as an aircraft which is designed not to carry a human pilot or …
