Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Nonincrease of Scalar Functions Along Solutions to Constrained Differential Inclusions
Mohamed Maghenem, Alessandro Melis, Ricardo G. Sanfelice
In this paper, we propose necessary and sufficient conditions for a scalar function to be nonincreasing along solutions to general differential inclusions with state constraints. T…

A Hybrid Control Algorithm for Gradient-Free Optimization using Conjugate Directions
Alessandro Melis, Ricardo G. Sanfelice, Lorenzo Marconi
The problem of steering a particular class of -dimensional continuous-time dynamical systems towards the minima of a function without gradient information is considered. We prop…
