Dominant-Pole Placement for Predictor Synthesis
Bryan Rojas-Ricca, Fernando Castaños, Sabine Mondié
This article analyzes the high-gain prediction approach for nonlinear input-delay systems. The problem is discussed in the light of weighted homogeneity and input-to-state stabilit…
Equivalence of Linear Complementarity Problems: Theory and Application to Nonsmooth Bifurcations
Felix Miranda-Villatoro, Fernando Castaños, Alessio Franci
Linear complementarity problems provide a powerful framework to model nonsmooth phenomena in a variety of real-world applications. In dynamical control systems, they appear coupled…
Observer-based predictor for a SIR model with delays
Sabine Mondié, Fernando Castaños
We propose an observer for a SIR epidemic model. The observer is then uplifted into a predictor to compensate for time delays in the input and the output. Tuning criteria are given…
A notion of equivalence for linear complementarity problems with application to the design of non-smooth bifurcations
Fernando Castaños, Félix Miranda-Villatoro, Alessio Franci
Many systems of interest to control engineering can be modeled by linear complementarity problems. We introduce a new notion of equivalence between linear complementarity problems…
Self-oscillations in an Alpha Stirling Engine: a bifurcation analysis
Dmitry Gromov, Fernando Castanos
We study a thermo-mechanical system comprised of an alpha Stirling engine and a flywheel from the perspective of dynamical systems theory. Thermodynamics establish a static relatio…
Sliding Motions on SO(3), Sliding Subgroups
Gian C. Gomez Cortes, Fernando Castanos, Jorge Davila
We propose a sliding surface for systems on the Lie group . The sliding surface is shown to be a Lie subgroup. The reduced-order dynamics along the slidi…
Implementing robust neuromodulation in neuromorphic circuits
Fernando Castaños, Alessio Franci
We introduce a methodology to implement the physiological transition {between distinct neuronal spiking modes} in electronic circuits composed of resistors, capacitors and transist…
Passivity-based PI control of first-order systems with I/O communication delays: A complete sigma-stability analysis
Fernando Castaños, Edgar Estrada, Sabine Mondié +1
The PI control of first-order linear passive systems through a delayed communication channel is revisited in light of the relative stability concept called sigma-stability. Treatin…
Discrete-Time Models for Implicit Port-Hamiltonian Systems
Fernando Castaños, Hannah Michalska, Dmitry Gromov +1
Implicit representations of finite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems are studied from the perspective of their use in numerical simulation and control design. Implicit represent…
Min-max piecewise constant optimal control for multi-model linear systems
Félix A. Miranda, Fernando Castaños, Alexander Poznyak
The present work addresses a finite-horizon linear-quadratic optimal control problem for uncertain systems driven by piecewise constant controls. The precise values of the system p…
Robust Output Regulation of Linear Passive Systems with Multivalued Upper Semicontinuous Controls
Félix A. Miranda, Fernando Castaños
The use of multivalued controls derived from a special maximal monotone operator are studied in this note. Starting with a strictly passive linear system (with possible parametric…
Pole-placement in higher-order sliding-mode control
Debbie Hernández, Fernando Castaños, Leonid Fridman
We show that the well-known formula by Ackermann and Utkin can be generalized to the case of higher-order sliding modes. By interpreting the eigenvalue assignment of the sliding dy…
