Fredholm transformation on Laplacian and rapid stabilization for the heat equations

We revisit the rapid stabilization of the heat equation on the 1-dimensional torus using the backstepping method with a Fredholm transformation. We prove that, under some assumption on the control operator, two scalar controls are necessary and sufficient ...

Sparsity Invariance for Convex Design of Distributed Controllers

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri, Yu Zheng

We address the problem of designing optimal linear time-invariant (LTI) sparse controllers for LTI systems, which corresponds to minimizing a norm of the closed-loop system subjected to sparsity constraints on the controller structure. This problem is NP-h ...

Multi-Region Network Perimeter Control via Model Free Adaptive Iterative Learning Control

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel, Ye Ren

Most perimeter control methods in literature are the model-based schemes. However, accurate modeling of the traffic flow system is hard and time-consuming. On the other hand, macroscopic traffic flow patterns show heavily similarity between days, and data ...

From human action understanding to robot action execution: how the physical properties of handled objects modulate non-verbal cues

Aude Billard, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis, Nuno Ricardo Ferreira Duarte, José Santos-Victor

Humans manage to communicate action intentions in a non-verbal way, through body posture and movement. We start from this observation to investigate how a robot can decode a human's non-verbal cues during the manipulation of an object, with specific physic ...

Data driven model free adaptive iterative learning perimeter control for large-scale urban road networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel, Ye Ren

Most perimeter control methods in literature are the model-based schemes designing the controller based on the available accurate macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) function with well known techniques of modern control methods. However, accurate modelin ...

Data-Driven Distributed Reactive Power Sharing in Microgrids

Alireza Karimi, Seyed Sohail Madani

In this paper, reactive power sharing for Photovoltaic (PV) units in islanded microgrids has been formulated as a robust control design problem and is solved using convex optimization method. In addition to reactive power sharing, the disturbance rejection ...

Optimization-based Control, Estimation, and Identification of Urban Road Transport Systems

Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Urbanization intensifies as a global trend, exposing transportation networks to ever increasing levels of congestion. As network usage increases with available infrastructure, building new roads is not a solution. Design of intelligent transportation syste ...

System-level, Input-output and New Parameterizations of Stabilizing Controllers, and Their Numerical Computation

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri, Na Li

It is known that the set of internally stabilizing controller

\mathcal{C}_{\text{stab}}

is non-convex, but it admits convex characterizations using certain closed-loop maps: a classical result is the {Youla parameterization}, and two recent notions are t ...

An Input–Output Parametrization of Stabilizing Controllers: Amidst Youla and System Level Synthesis

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri

This letter proposes a novel input-output parametrization of the set of internally stabilizing output-feedback controllers for linear time invariant (LTI) systems. Our underlying idea is to directly treat the closed-loop transfer matrices from disturbances ...

A data-driven approach to model-reference control with applications to particle accelerator power converters

Alireza Karimi, Achille Nicoletti, Michele Martino

A new model-reference data-driven approach is presented which uses the frequency response data of a system in order to avoid the problem of unmodeled dynamics associated with low-order parametric models. It is shown that a convex optimization problem can b ...
