The behavioral approach to systems theory, put forward 40 years ago by Jan C. Willems,
takes a representation-free perspective of a dynamical system as a set of trajectories. Till …

The development of control methods based on data has seen a surge of interest in recent
years. When applying data-driven controllers in real-world applications, providing theoretical …

In this article, we discuss connections between sequential system identification and control
for linear time-invariant systems, often termed indirect data-driven control, as well as a …

The present paper deals with data-driven event-triggered control of a class of unknown
discrete-time interconnected systems (aka network systems). To this end, we start by putting …

This survey presents recent research on determining control-theoretic properties and
designing controllers with rigorous guarantees using semidefinite programming and for …

We address the problem of designing a stabilizing closed-loop control law directly from input
and state measurements collected in an experiment. In the presence of a process …

The fundamental lemma by Jan C. Willems and co-workers is deeply rooted in behavioral
systems theory and it has become one of the supporting pillars of the recent progress on …

This article addresses the model-and data-based event-triggered consensus of
heterogeneous leader/follower multi-agent systems (MASs). A dynamic periodic …

In this article, we introduce a method to deal with the data-driven control design of nonlinear
systems. We derive conditions to design controllers via (approximate) nonlinearity …

Behavioral systems theory decouples the behavior of a system from its representation. A key
result is that, under a persistency of excitation condition, the image of a Hankel matrix …
