Brain Modeling for Control: A Review
Gagan Acharya, Sebastian F. Ruf, Erfan Nozari
Neurostimulation technologies have seen a recent surge in interest from the neuroscience and controls communities alike due to their proven potential to treat conditions such as Pa…
Herdability of Linear Systems Based on Sign Patterns and Graph Structures
Sebastian F Ruf, Magnus Egerstedt, Jeff S. Shamma
We consider the notion of herdability, a set-based reachability condition, which asks whether the state of a system can be controlled to be element-wise larger than a non-negative…
Stability and Sustainability of Resource Consumption Networks
Matthew T. Hale, Sebastian F. Ruf, Talha Manzoor +1
In this paper, we examine both stability and sustainability of a network-based model of natural resource consumption. Stability is studied from a dynamical systems perspective, tho…
Going Viral: Stability of Consensus-Driven Adoptive Spread
Sebastian F. Ruf, Keith Paarporn, Philip E. Paré
The spread of new products in a networked population is often modeled as an epidemic. However, in the case of `complex' contagion, these models {do not capture nuanced, dynamic soc…
Herding Positive, Complex Networks
Sebastian F. Ruf, Magnus Egersted, Jeff S. Shamma
The problem of controlling complex networks is of interest to disciplines ranging from biology to swarm robotics. However, controllability can be too strict a condition, failing to…
Herdable Systems Over Signed, Directed Graphs
Sebastian F. Ruf, Magnus Egerstedt, Jeff S. Shamma
This paper considers the notion of herdability, a set-based reachability condition, which asks whether the state of a system can be controlled to be element-wise larger than a non-…
Stability of Leaderless Resource Consumption Networks
Sebastian F. Ruf, Matthew T. Hale, Talha Manzoor +1
In this paper, we study the global stability properties of a multi-agent model of natural resource consumption that balances ecological and social network components in determining…
