A reflection of our ultimate understanding of a complex system is our ability to control its
behavior. Typically, control has multiple prerequisites: it requires an accurate map of the …

A new approach to the design of nonlinear disturbance observers (DOBs) for a class of
nonlinear systems described by input-output differential equations is presented in this paper …

Visual and inertial sensors, in combination, are able to provide accurate motion estimates
and are well suited for use in many robot navigation tasks. However, correct data fusion, and …

This paper deals with fault detection and identification in dynamic systems when the system
dynamics can be modeled by smooth nonlinear differential equations including affine …

In this article, we consider the problem of fixed-time observer for nonlinear systems, that is a
finite-time observer whose settling time can be bounded independently of the initial …

Microbes form complex communities that perform critical roles for the integrity of their
environment or the well-being of their hosts. Controlling these microbial communities can …

Elimination of unknowns in a system of differential equations is often required when
analyzing (possibly nonlinear) dynamical systems models, where only a subset of variables …

A global finite-time observer is designed for nonlinear systems which are uniformly
observable and globally Lipschitz. This result is based on a high-gain approach combined …

The classical notions of structural controllability and structural observability are receiving
increasing attention in Network Science, as they provide a mathematical basis to understand …

Visual and inertial sensors, in combination, are well-suited for many robot navigation and
map** tasks. However, correct data fusion, and hence overall system performance …
