We give an elementary proof of the fact that, for continuous-time systems, it is impossible to use (even discontinuous) pure state feedback to achieve robust global asymptotic stabilization of a disconnected set of points or robust global regulation to a target while avoiding an obstacle. Indeed, we show that arbitrarily small, piecewise constant measurement noise can keep the trajectories away from the target. We give a constructive, Lyapunov-based hybrid state feedback that achieves robust regulation in the above mentioned settings

For hybrid closed-loop systems arising from hybrid control of nonlinear systems, we show that the sample-and-hold implementation of the hybrid controller preserves (semiglobally and practically) the stability properties of the closed-loop system. We provide a general model for the hybrid closed-loop system where the hybrid controller is implemented digitally and it is interfaced to the nonlinear system through sample and hold devices. We model the sample device and the digital controller/hold device as single asynchronous hybrid systems with independent timing constants and data. The main result is established by means of a Lyapunov function for the hybrid closed-loop system resulting from the interconnection of its hybrid and nonlinear subsystems
To enable the computation of effective randomized patrol routes for single- or multi-robot teams, we present RoSSO, a Python package designed for solving Markov chain optimization problems. We exploit machine-learning...

We study the problem of finding the minimum-length curvature constrained closed path through a set of regions in the plane. This problem is referred to as the Dubins Traveling Salesperson Problem with Neighborhoods (DTSPN). Two algorithms are presented that transform this infinite dimensional combinatorial optimization problem into a finite dimensional asymmetric TSP by sampling and applying the appropriate transformations, thus allowing the use of existing approximation algorithms. We show for the case of disjoint regions, the first algorithm needs only to sample each region once to produce a tour within a factor of the length of the optimal tour that is independent of the number of regions. We present a second algorithm that performs no worse than the best existing algorithm and can perform significantly better when the regions overlap.
System identification based on Koopman operator theory has grown in popularity recently. Spectral properties of the Koopman operator of a system were proven to relate to properties like invariant sets, stability, peri...

For a class of nonlinear systems affine in controls and with unknown high frequency gain, we develop a hybrid control strategy that guarantees (practical) global input-to-state stability (ISS) with respect to measurement noise. We provide a design procedure for the hybrid controller and apply it to Freeman’s counterexample and minimum-phase relative degree one systems.

We study the problem of inferring edge flows and nodal injections in infrastructure networks. Leveraging the Thomson’s Principle from the electric circuits literature, we setup a framework to jointly learn network parameters and missing states. Despite being application agnostic, the proposed approach captures the fundamental physics of the infrastructure, and is able to handle partial observation, node and edge features as well as operational constraints. The physics inspired learning framework leads to a bilevel optimization problem, which is NP hard in general. By exploiting convexity properties, we reformulate the problem as a single level optimization, composed of a graph neural network and an additional implicit layer. The resulting architecture can be trained using standard gradient-based methods. We assess the validity of the proposed approach on two different infrastructure networks (power and traffic), and show it outperforms the current state of the art.
Structural balance is a classic property of signed graphs satisfying Heider’s seminal axioms. Mathematical sociologists have studied balance theory since its inception in the 1940s. Recent research has focused on the...
