On sensor quantization in linear control systems: Krasovskii solutions meet semidefinite programming
Francesco Ferrante, Frédéric Gouaisbaut, Sophie Tarbouriech
Stability and stabilization for linear state feedback control systems in the presence of sensor quantization are studied. As the closed-loop system is described by a discontinuous…
Robust interaction control of a dielectric elastomer actuator with variable stiffness
Gianluca Rizzello, Francesco Ferrante, David Naso +1
This paper presents an interaction control algorithm for a dielectric elastomer membrane actuator. The proposed method permits efficient exploitation of the controllable stiffness…
Synchronization of Identical Boundary-Actuated Semilinear Infinite-Dimensional Systems
Francesco Ferrante, Giacomo Casadei, Christophe Prieur
This paper deals with synchronization of a class of infinite-dimensional systems. The considered network is described by a collection of semilinear Lipschitz boundary-actuated infi…
A Hybrid Dynamical Modeling Framework for Shape Memory Alloy Wire Actuated Structures
Michele A. Mandolino, Francesco Ferrante, Gianluca Rizzello
In this paper, a hybrid model for single-crystal Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire actuators is presented. The result is based on a mathematical reformulation of the Müller-Achenbach-S…
A Hybrid Controller for DOS-Resilient String-Stable Vehicle Platoons
Roberto Merco, Francesco Ferrante, Pierluigi Pisu
This paper deals with the design of resilient Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) for homogeneous vehicle platoons in which communication is vulnerable to Denial-of-Service…
On Angular Speed Estimation of Rigid Bodies
Francesco Ferrante, Gildas Besançon
The problem of estimating the angular speed of a solid body from attitude measurements is addressed. To solve this problem, we propose an observer whose dynamics are not constraine…
Observer Design for Linear Aperiodic Sampled-Data Systems: A Hybrid Systems Approach
Francesco Ferrante, Alexandre Seuret
Observer design for linear systems with aperiodic sampled-data measurements is addressed. To solve this problem, a novel hybrid observer is designed. The main peculiarity of the pr…
Observer Design for Systems of Conservation Laws with Lipschitz Nonlinear Boundary Dynamics
Francesco Ferrante, Andrea Cristofaro
The problem of state estimation for a system of coupled hyperbolic PDEs and ODEs with Lipschitz nonlinearities with boundary measurements is considered. An infinite dimensional obs…
On the Design of Structured Stabilizers for LTI Systems
Francesco Ferrante, Fabrizio Dabbene, Chiara Ravazzi
Designing a static state-feedback controller subject to structural constraint achieving asymptotic stability is a relevant problem with many applications, including network decentr…
Output Regulation of Linear Aperiodic Sampled-Data Systems
Himadri Basu, Francesco Ferrante, Se Young Yoon
This paper deals with the output regulation problem of a linear time-invariant system in the presence of sporadically available measurement streams. A regulator with a continuous i…
