An improved method of control design for rational nonlinear discrete-time systems with input saturation is proposed in this paper. Using Difference-Algebraic Representation (DAR) and parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions, a novel regional stabilization condition in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) is presented. Two optimization problems are addressed to either obtain the largest estimated Domain of Attraction (DoA) or minimize the $\ell_{2}$ -gain from the energy-bounded disturbance input to the performance output. Numerical examples illustrate the potential of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we propose a methodology aimed to enhancing the accuracy of moving target positioning using FMCW radar within spectrogram mapping. Utilizing a 10 GHz operating frequency, the FMCW radar effectively detects moving targets. However, the interpretation of intermediate frequency (IF) signals posed challenges due to multiple reflections and resulting ambiguous distances between objects. For solving this problem, we propose two steps of solution: employing an enveloping method and normalization of the IF signal. This process can extract maximum amplitude peaks specific to the target. Experimental validation involved detecting a drone moving away from the radar. Comparative analysis pre and post signal processing in spectrogram terms demonstrate the efficacy of our technique. Furthermore, verification of the detection range of radar was conducted using the GSM-015 GNSS speed meter. Results confirm the accuracy of the positioning capabilities of radar, emphasizing the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This work focuses on the solution for multi-agent, collision-free, time-varying path-following problems in 3D spaces. The proposed solution is based on using time-varying artificial vector fields to generate velocity references for single agents. A distributed Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme is employed, taking into account the system’s dynamics and collision avoidance features, enabling the multi-robot system to follow the dynamic field without collisions and providing great computational efficiency. More specifically, Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance (ORCA) algorithm is used to set constraints, yielding a novel MPC-ORCA approach, for efficient collision avoidance in the multi-agent scenario. Simulation scenarios are used to validate and compare the proposed approach with traditional methods, highlighting its improvements.

Terahertz time-domain imaging was performed of stereotactic body radiotherapy-treated murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with a high spatial resolution. To generate 2D maps of the tissue samples, the refractive index and absorption coefficient were used as imaging markers extracted with the maximum a-posteriori probability (MAP) estimation algorithm. The results were then compared with the terahertz maps of untreated murine PDAC tissue samples and demonstrated that terahertz imaging can probe physical changes with high sensitivity in the tissue post treatment.
