Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have emerged as a modern real-time energy management
architecture that seeks to synergistically coordinate an aggregation of renewable and non …

Multi-time scale techniques based on singular perturbations and averaging theory are
among the most powerful tools developed for the synthesis and analysis of feedback control …

It is well known that smooth autonomous dynamical systems modeled by ordinary differential
equations (ODEs) cannot robustly and globally stabilize a point on compact, boundaryless …

The need for greener and cleaner aviation has accelerated the transition towards more
electric systems on the More Electric Aircraft. One of the key challenges related to the …

Control barrier functions (CBFs) enable constraint satisfaction in controlled dynamical
systems, by map** state constraints into state-dependent input constraints. This article …

We consider the problem of achieving prescribed-time stability (PT-S) in a class of hybrid
dynamical systems that incorporate switching nonlinear dynamics, exogenous inputs, and …

Passivity is a well-established concept for continuous-time systems. Yet, its application to
discrete time, delay, or other classes of systems is somewhat limited, leading to …

This tutorial paper discusses the rising need for safe and constrained spacecraft
Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking (RPOD). This class of problems brings with …

Control barrier functions (CBFs) are a popular method for encoding safety specifications for
dynamical systems. In this article, a notion of CBF is defined that permits vector-valued …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of smart materials that exhibit a macroscopic
contraction of up to 5% when heated via an electric current. This effect can be exploited for …
