Robust stability and control for systems that combine continuous-time and discrete-time
dynamics. This article is a tutorial on modeling the dynamics of hybrid systems, on the …

This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a
distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. The book presents a broad set of …

This survey addresses stability analysis for stochastic hybrid systems (SHS), which are
dynamical systems that combine continuous change and instantaneous change and that …

It is well known that controlling the attitude of a rigid body is subject to topological
constraints. We illustrate, with examples, the problems that arise when using continuous and …

This survey paper studies deterministic control systems that integrate three of the most active
research areas during the last years:(1) online learning control systems,(2) distributed …

A major problem in control engineering is robust feedback design that stabilizes a nominal
plant while also attenuating the influence of parameter variations and external disturbances …

In this technical note, two generalized corollaries to the LaSalle-Yoshizawa Theorem are
presented for nonautonomous systems described by nonlinear differential equations with …

Stability of motion is a central theme in the dynamics of mechanical systems. While the
stability theory for systems with bilateral constraints is a well-established field, this …

Cyber-physical systems combine digital and analog devices, interfaces, networks, computer
systems, and the like with the natural and man-made physical world. The inherent …

This paper proposes a feedback control strategy to let the dynamics of a class of under-
actuated vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicle tracking a desired position and …
