This paper addresses problems on the structural design of control systems taking explicitly into consideration the possible application to large-scale systems. We provide an efficient and unified framework to solve the following major minimization problems: (i) selection of the minimum number of manipulated/measured variables to achieve structural controllability/observability of the system, and (ii) selection of the minimum number of feedback interconnections between measured and manipulated variables such that the closed-loop system has no structurally fixed modes. Contrary to what would be expected, we show that it is possible to obtain a global solution for each of the aforementioned minimization problems using polynomial complexity algorithms in the number of the state variables of the system. In addition, we provide several new graph-theoretic characterizations of structural systems concepts, which, in turn, enable us to characterize all possible solutions to the above problems.
In this paper, we consider the systems with trajectories originating in the nonnegative orthant becoming nonnegative after some finite time transient. First we consider dynamical systems (i.e., fully observable systems with no inputs), which we call
We consider the effect of parametric uncertainty on properties of Linear Time Invariant systems. Traditional approaches to this problem determine the worst-case gains of the system over the uncertainty set. Whilst such approaches are computationally
We introduce a hybrid (discrete--continuous) safety controller which enforces strict state and input constraints on a system---but only acts when necessary, preserving transparent operation of the original system within some safe region of the state
We address the problem of robust state reconstruction for discrete-time nonlinear systems when the actuators and sensors are injected with (potentially unbounded) attack signals. Exploiting redundancy in sensors and actuators and using a bank of unkn
Robust control is a core approach for controlling systems with performance guarantees that are robust to modeling error, and is widely used in real-world systems. However, current robust control approaches can only handle small system uncertainty, an
