State Observers for Linear Systems with Prescribed Residual Bounds
Nilay Kant
This paper presents a state observer design for continuous linear time-invariant (LTI) systems subject to unknown bounded disturbances, that enforces a prescribed bound on the obse…

Learning Local Optimal Controller for a Class of Nonlinear Systems via Impulse-Supervised Exploration
Adebayo Olayinka Oke, Nilay Kant
This paper develops an impulse-supervised confined exploration framework for learning local optimal controller for a class of nonlinear systems. The proposed approach combines cont…
