Several computational challenges arise when evaluating the failure probability of a given system in the context of risk prediction or reliability analysis. When the dimension of the uncertainties becomes high, well established direct numerical methods can ...
Many real-world systems are intrinsically nonlinear. This thesis proposes various algorithms for designing control laws for input-affine single-input nonlinear systems. These algorithms, which are based on the concept of quotients used in nonlinear control ...
This book bridges optimal control theory and economics, discussing ordinary differential equations, optimal control, game theory, and mechanism design in one volume. Technically rigorous and largely self-contained, it provides an introduction to the use of ...
This paper deals with the finite horizon stochastic optimal control problem with the expectation of the 1-norm as the objective function and jointly Gaussian, although not necessarily independent, disturbances. We develop an approximation strategy that sol ...
In this paper we consider a linear system structured into physically coupled subsystems and propose a decentralized control scheme capable to guarantee asymptotic stability and satisfaction of constraints on system inputs and states. The design procedure i ...
Piano Key weirs (PKWs) are a hydraulically attractive alternative to linear overflow weirs, increasing the unit discharge at the unregulated spillway inlet for similar heads and spillway widths. This advantage, allowing for operation of dam reservoirs on e ...
A numerical algorithm that achieves asymptotic stability for feedback linearizable systems is presented. The nonlinear systems can be represented in various forms that include differential equations, simulated physical models or lookup tables. The proposed ...
This paper extends the quotient method proposed in [1] and applies it to stabilize a “ball-on-a-wheel” system. The quotient method requires a diffeomorphism to obtain the normal form of the input vector field and uses canonical pro- jection to obtain the q ...
The presented work concerns the modelling and stability analysis of 155 mm spin-stabilised projectiles equipped with steering fins. While a large roll rate provides the projectile with interesting stability properties, it also renders the steering control ...
Every wave solver serving the computational study of waves meets a trade-off of two figures of merit—its computational speed and its accuracy. The use of Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods on graphical processing units (GPUs) significantly lowers the cost ...
