Model Predictive Control Tailored to Epidemic Models
Philipp Sauerteig, Willem Esterhuizen, Mitsuru Wilson +3
We propose a model predictive control (MPC) approach for minimising the social distancing and quarantine measures during a pandemic while maintaining a hard infection cap. To this…
Barriers and Potentially Safe Sets in Hybrid Systems: Pendulum with Non-Rigid Cable
Willem Esterhuizen, Jean Lévine
This paper deals with an application of the notion of barrier in mixed constrained nonlinear systems to an example of a pendulum mounted on a cart with non-rigid cable, whose dynam…
Epidemic Management with Admissible and Robust Invariant Sets
Willem Esterhuizen, Jean Lévine, Stefan Streif
We present a detailed set-based analysis of the well-known SIR and SEIR epidemic models subjected to hard caps on the proportion of infective individuals, and bounds on the allowab…
Control Design with Guaranteed Transient Performance: an Approach with Polyhedral Target Tubes
Willem Esterhuizen, Qing-Guo Wang
In this paper a novel approach is presented for control design with guaranteed transient performance for multiple-input multiple-output discrete-time linear polytopic difference in…
On MPC without terminal conditions for dynamic non-holonomic robots
Franz Rußwurm, Willem Esterhuizen, Karl Worthmann +1
We consider an input-constrained differential-drive robot with actuator dynamics. For this system, we establish asymptotic stability of the origin on arbitrary compact, convex sets…
Transient Stability Analysis of Power Grids with Admissible and Maximal Robust Positively Invariant Sets
Tim Aschenbruck, Willem Esterhuizen, Stefan Streif
The energy transition is causing many stability-related challenges for power systems. Transient stability refers to the ability of a power grid's bus angles to retain synchronism a…
