This paper provides a tutorial introduction to reconfigurable control and surveys recent
advances on this topic. Control reconfiguration is an important method of fault-tolerant …

The advantages of periodic control have been known since humanity learned to cultivate
crops in rotation to increase production. In more recent times, it has been recognized that …

We show that some basic linear control design problems are NP-hard, implying that, unless
P= NP, they cannot be solved by polynomial time algorithms. The problems that we consider …

This is a unified collection of important recent results for the design of robust controllers for
uncertain systems, primarily based on H8 control theory or its stochastic counterpart, risk …

This paper studies several problems related to quadratic matrix inequalities (QMIs), ie,
inequalities in the Loewner order involving quadratic functions of matrix variables. In …

A number of challenging problems in linear control theory are considered which admit
simple formulation and yet lack efficient solution methods. These problems relate to the …

This book is primarily a research monograph that presents in a unified man ner some recent
research on a class of hybrid dynamical systems (HDS). The book is intended both for …

Multiobjective control design is known to be a difficult problem both in theory and practice.
Our approach is to search for locally optimal solutions of a nonsmooth optimization problem …

Nonsmooth variational analysis and related computational methods are powerful tools that
can be effectively applied to identify local minimizers of nonconvex optimization problems …

Part of these notes were developed for a course of the Dutch Network on Systems and
Control with the title “Robust control and H∞ optimization,” which was taught in the Spring of …
