Offshore exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons have opened up an era of
dynamically positioned (DP) vessels. DP control systems maintain floating structures in fixed …

l\lany systems encountered in practice involve a coupling between contin uous dynamics
and discrete events. Systems in which these two kinds of dynamics coexist and interact are …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

Adaptive control evolved over the years to become an accepted subject taught in many
schools as an advanced control course. A good understanding of adaptive control involves a …

This paper addresses the uniform stability of switched linear systems, where uniformity
refers to the convergence rate of the multiple solutions that one obtains as the switching …

In this paper we prove that a switched nonlinear system has several useful input-to-state
stable (ISS)-type properties under average dwell-time switching signals if each constituent …

A state-dependent switching law that obeys a dwell time constraint and guarantees the
stability of a switched linear system is designed. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the …

In this paper we study the switching control of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems using
multiple parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions to improve performance and enhance …

This paper is concerned with the study of, both local and global, uniform asymptotic stability
for general nonlinear and time-varying switched systems. Two concepts of Lyapunov …

Platooning of autonomous vehicles has the potential to significantly benefit road traffic. This
paper presents a new robust acceleration tracking control of vehicle longitudinal dynamics …
