Converse Lyapunov theorems for control systems with unbounded controls
Anna Chiara Lai, Monica Motta
In this paper, we extend well-known relationships between global asymptotic controllability, sample stabilizability, and the existence of a control Lyapunov function to a wide clas…
Effects of fractional derivatives in epidemic models
Caterina Balzotti, Mirko D'Ovidio, Anna Chiara Lai +1
We study epidemic Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible models in the fractional setting. The novelty is to consider models in which the susceptible and infected populations evolve acco…
Solutions of Bernoulli equations in the fractional setting
Mirko D'Ovidio, Anna Chiara Lai, Paola Loreti
We present a general series representation formula for the local solution of Bernoulli equation with Caputo fractional derivatives. We then focus on a generalization of the fractio…
Constrained reachability problems for a planar manipulator
Simone Cacace, Anna Chiara Lai, Paola Loreti
We address an optimal reachability problem for a planar manipulator in a constrained environment. After introducing the optmization problem in full generality, we practically embed…
Optimal reachability and grasping for a soft manipulator
Simone Cacace, Anna Chiara Lai, Paola Loreti
We investigate optimal reachability and grasping problems for a planar soft manipulator, from both a theoretical and numerical point of view. The underlying control model describes…
Modeling and Optimal Control of an Octopus Tentacle
Simone Cacace, Anna Chiara Lai, Paola Loreti
We present a control model for an octopus tentacle, based on the dynamics of an inextensible string with curvature constraints and curvature controls. We derive the equations of mo…
