We provide out-of-sample certificates on the controlled invariance property of a given set with respect to a class of black-box linear systems. Specifically, we consider linear time-invariant models whose state space matrices are known only to belong to a certain family due to a possibly inexact quantification of some parameters. By exploiting a set of realizations of those undetermined parameters, verifying the controlled invariance property of the given set amounts to a linear program, whose feasibility allows us to establish an a-posteriori probabilistic certificate on the controlled invariance property of such a set with respect to the nominal linear time-invariant dynamics. The proposed framework is applied to the control of a networked multi-agent system with unknown weighted graph.

This paper studies the extremum seeking control (ESC) problem for a class of constrained nonlinear systems. Specifically, we focus on a family of constraints allowing to reformulate the original nonlinear system in the so-called input-output normal form. To steer the system to optimize a performance function without knowing its explicit form, we propose a novel numerical optimization-based extremum seeking control (NOESC) design consisting of a constrained numerical optimization method and an inversion based feedforward controller. In particular, a projected gradient descent algorithm is exploited to produce the state sequence to optimize the performance function, whereas a suitable boundary value problem accommodates the finite-time state transition between each two consecutive points of the state sequence. Compared to available NOESC methods, the proposed approach i) can explicitly deal with output constraints; ii) the performance function can consider a direct dependence on the states of the internal dynamics; iii) the internal dynamics do not have to be necessarily stable. The effectiveness of the proposed ESC scheme is shown through extensive numerical simulations.
This paper deals with the fault detection and isolation (FDI) problem for linear structured systems in which the system matrices are given by zero/nonzero/arbitrary pattern matrices. In this paper, we follow a geometric approach to verify solvability of the FDI problem for such systems. To do so, we first develop a necessary and sufficient condition under which the FDI problem for a given particular linear time-invariant system is solvable. Next, we establish a necessary condition for solvability of the FDI problem for linear structured systems. In addition, we develop a sufficient algebraic condition for solvability of the FDI problem in terms of a rank test on an associated pattern matrix. To illustrate that this condition is not necessary, we provide a counterexample in which the FDI problem is solvable while the condition is not satisfied. Finally, we develop a graph-theoretic condition for the full rank property of a given pattern matrix, which leads to a graph-theoretic condition for solvability of the FDI problem.
The interest in non-linear impulsive systems (NIS) has been growing due to its impact in application problems such as disease treatments (diabetes, HIV, influenza, among many others), where the control action (drug administration) is given by short-duration pulses followed by time periods of null values. Within this framework the concept of equilibrium needs to be extended (redefined) to allows the system to keep orbiting (between two consecutive pulses) in some state space regions out of the origin, according to usual objectives of most real applications. Although such regions can be characterized by means of a discrete-time system obtained by sampling the NIS at the impulsive times, no agreements have reached about their asymptotic stability (AS). This paper studies the asymptotic stability of control equilibrium orbits for NSI, based on the underlying discrete time system, in order to establish the conditions under which the AS for the latter leads to the AS for the former. Furthermore, based on the latter AS characterization, an impulsive Model Predictive Control (i-MPC) that feasibly stabilizes the non-linear impulsive system is presented. Finally, the proposed stable MPC is applied to two control problems of interest: the intravenous bolus administration of Lithium and the administration of antiretrovirals for HIV treatments.
In this paper, we propose a chance constrained stochastic model predictive control scheme for reference tracking of distributed linear time-invariant systems with additive stochastic uncertainty. The chance constraints are reformulated analytically based on mean-variance information, where we design suitable Probabilistic Reachable Sets for constraint tightening. Furthermore, the chance constraints are proven to be satisfied in closed-loop operation. The design of an invariant set for tracking complements the controller and ensures convergence to arbitrary admissible reference points, while a conditional initialization scheme provides the fundamental property of recursive feasibility. The paper closes with a numerical example, highlighting the convergence to changing output references and empirical constraint satisfaction.
This paper investigates the H2 and H-infinity suboptimal distributed filtering problems for continuous time linear systems. Consider a linear system monitored by a number of filters, where each of the filters receives only part of the measured output of the system. Each filter can communicate with the other filters according to an a priori given strongly connected weighted directed graph. The aim is to design filter gains that guarantee the H2 or H-infinity norm of the transfer matrix from the disturbance input to the output estimation error to be smaller than an a priori given upper bound, while all local filters reconstruct the full system state asymptotically. We provide a centralized design method for obtaining such H2 and H-infinity suboptimal distributed filters. The proposed design method is illustrated by a simulation example.
