Feedback Control of a Recirculating Bioreactor with Electrophoretic Removal of Inhibitory Extracellular DNA
Antonio Spallone, Davide Fiore, Fabrizio Cartenì +1
Extracellular DNA accumulation in recirculating bioprocesses inhibits microbial growth and reduces productivity. We consider a continuous bioreactor with a recirculating loop and a…
Mean-field control barrier functions for stochastic multi-agent systems
Cinzia Tomaselli, Gian Carlo Maffettone, Samy Wu Fung +2
Many applications involving multi-agent systems require fulfilling safety constraints. Control barrier functions offer a systematic framework to enforce forward invariance of safet…
ROPE: A Novel Method for Real-Time Phase Estimation of Complex Biological Rhythms
Antonio Spallone, Marco Coraggio, Francesco De Lellis +1
Accurate phase estimation -- the process of assigning phase values between and to repetitive or periodic signals -- is a cornerstone in the analysis of oscillatory signal…
Robust multi-scale leader-follower control of large multi-agent systems
Davide Salzano, Gian Carlo Maffettone, Mario di Bernardo
In many multi-agent systems of practical interest, such as traffic networks or crowd evacuation, control actions cannot be exerted on all agents. Instead, controllable leaders must…
Nonreciprocal field theory for decision-making in multi-agent control systems
Andrea Lama, Mario di Bernardo, Sabine H. L. Klapp
Field theories for complex systems traditionally focus on collective behaviors emerging from simple, reciprocal pairwise interaction rules. However, many natural and artificial sys…
