This paper develops a method for data-driven stabilization of continuous-time linear time-invariant systems with theoretical guarantees and no need for signal derivatives. The framework is based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and illustrated in the state-feedback and single-input single-output output-feedback scenarios. Similar to discrete-time approaches, we rely solely on input and state/output measurements. In particular, we avoid differentiation by employing low-pass filters of the measured signals that, rather than approximating the derivatives, reconstruct a non-minimal realization of the plant. With access to the filter states and their derivatives, we can solve LMIs derived from sample batches of the available signals to compute a dynamic controller that stabilizes the plant. The effectiveness of the approach is showcased via numerical examples.
本文提出了一种具有理论保证且不需要信号导数的连续时间线性定常系统的数据驱动镇定方法。该框架基于线性矩阵不等式(lmi),并在状态反馈和单输入单输出输出反馈场景中进行了说明。与离散时间方法类似,我们仅依赖于输入和状态/输出测量。特别是,我们通过采用测量信号的低通滤波器来避免微分,而不是近似导数,重建植物的非最小实现。通过对滤波器状态及其导数的访问,我们可以求解由可用信号的样本批次导出的lmi,以计算稳定对象的动态控制器。通过数值算例验证了该方法的有效性。

The Friedkin–Johnsen (FJ) model has been extensively validated across social science, systems and control, game theory, and algorithmic research. We introduce an advanced generalization — termed the FJ-MM model — that incorporates memory effects and multi-hop influence. This extension allows agents to naturally integrate both current and past opinions at each iteration. We analyze the stability and equilibrium properties of the FJ-MM model, demonstrating that they can be derived from those of a standard FJ model with an appropriately modified influence matrix. We examine the convergence rate of the FJ-MM model and demonstrate that, as can be expected, the time lags introduced by memory and higher-order neighbor influences result in slower convergence. Numerical results illustrate that memory and multi-hop influence reshape the final opinion landscape, e.g., by reducing polarization.
弗里德金-约翰森(FJ)模型在社会科学、系统与控制、博弈论和算法研究中得到了广泛的验证。我们引入了一种先进的泛化-称为FJ-MM模型-它结合了记忆效应和多跳影响。这个扩展允许代理在每次迭代中自然地集成当前和过去的意见。我们分析了FJ- mm模型的稳定性和平衡特性,证明了它们可以通过适当修改影响矩阵从标准FJ模型的稳定性和平衡特性中导出。我们检查了FJ-MM模型的收敛速度,并证明,正如预期的那样,由记忆和高阶邻居影响引入的时间滞后导致较慢的收敛速度。数值结果表明,记忆和多跳影响重塑了最终的意见格局,例如,通过减少极化。

This work presents the first application of the recently developed Twin-in-the-Loop Control (TiL-C) approach to a disturbance rejection problem, focusing on the regulation of an active suspension system. By evaluating mismatches between the digital twin and the actual vehicle, the study identifies limitations in TiL-C and proposes new compensation strategies to address the simulation-to-reality gap in controller tuning during the end-of-line phase. The findings demonstrate TiL-C’s potential to connect digital and physical systems, enabling broader applications of TiL-C across multiple fields.

The scaled relative graph (SRG) is a powerful graphical tool for analyzing the properties of operators, by mapping their graph onto the complex plane. In this work, we study the SRG of two classes of nonmonotone operators, namely the general class of semimonotone operators and a class of angle-bounded operators. In particular, we provide an analytical description of the SRG of these classes and show that membership of an operator to these classes can be verified through geometric containment of its SRG. To illustrate the importance of these results, we provide several examples in the context of electrical circuits. Most notably, we show that the Ebers–Moll transistor belongs to the class of angle-bounded operators and use this result to compute the response of a common-emitter amplifier using Chambolle–Pock, despite the underlying nonsmoothness and multi-valuedness, leveraging recent convergence results for this algorithm in the nonmonotone setting.
缩放相对图(SRG)是一种分析算子性质的强大图形工具,它将算子的图映射到复平面上。本文研究了两类非单调算子的SRG,即一般半单调算子和一类角有界算子。特别地,我们提供了这些类的SRG的解析描述,并表明一个算子对这些类的隶属性可以通过其SRG的几何包含来验证。为了说明这些结果的重要性,我们在电路的背景下提供了几个例子。最值得注意的是,我们表明Ebers-Moll晶体管属于角度有界算子类,并利用这一结果使用Chambolle-Pock计算共发射极放大器的响应,尽管存在潜在的非光滑性和多值性,利用该算法在非单调设置下的最新收敛结果。

We consider the problem of learning time-varying functions in a distributed fashion, where agents collect local information to collaboratively achieve a shared estimate. This task is particularly relevant in control applications, whenever real-time and robust estimation of dynamic cost/reward functions in safety critical settings has to be performed. In this paper, we adopt a finite-dimensional approximation of a Gaussian process, corresponding to a Bayesian linear regression in an appropriate feature space, and propose a new algorithm, DistKP, to track the time-varying coefficients via a distributed Kalman filter. The proposed method works for arbitrary kernels and under weaker assumptions on the time-evolution of the function to learn compared to the literature. We validate our results using a simulation example in which a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) learns a dynamically changing wind field.

The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a promising control method against insect pests and insect vectors. It consists in releasing males previously sterilized in laboratory, in order to reduce or eliminate a specific wild population. We study the implementation of SIT-based elimination campaign of Aedes mosquitoes using feedback control. We provide state-feedback and output-feedback control laws and establish their convergence, as well as their robustness properties. In this design procedure, a pivotal role is played by the use of properties of monotone systems. Simple illustrative simulations are provided.

Motivated by theories and evidence from the social psychology literature, we propose a novel continuous-time mathematical model that captures the evolution of motivation and behavior of energy consumers in a social network. In our model, consumers are connected to the energy grid and their energy demand (which we shall refer to as their behavior) is affected by their personal motivation on reducing (or increasing) their energy consumption. The motivation-behavior dynamics of each consumer is modeled using a second-order continuous-time bilinear differential equation. Each consumer has the ability to share their motivation on a social network and observe the behavior of other consumers. Using the information gathered from their peers and their personal bias about the energy consumption behavior, consumers have the ability to revise their own motivation about energy consumption and, ultimately, their behavior. Moreover, we incorporate into the model an external control action that captures the implementation of external behavioral interventions that influence the weight each consumer assigns to their own bias. Then, we use the proposed framework to shed light on the collective motivation-behavior dynamics of all the consumers, establishing conditions for the existence of equilibria, characterizing them, and performing a sensitivity analysis of such equilibria with respect to variations in the steady-state interventions provided to each consumer.
受社会心理学文献的理论和证据的启发,我们提出了一个新的连续时间数学模型,以捕捉社会网络中能源消费者的动机和行为的演变。在我们的模型中,消费者连接到能源网,他们的能源需求(我们称之为他们的行为)受到他们减少(或增加)能源消耗的个人动机的影响。利用二阶连续双线性微分方程对每个消费者的动机-行为动力学进行建模。每个消费者都有能力在社交网络上分享他们的动机,并观察其他消费者的行为。消费者有能力利用从同伴那里收集到的信息和他们对能源消费行为的个人偏见来修正自己的能源消费动机,并最终改变他们的行为。此外,我们将外部控制行动纳入模型,该行动捕获了影响每个消费者分配给自己偏见的权重的外部行为干预的实施。然后,我们使用所提出的框架来阐明所有消费者的集体动机-行为动力学,建立均衡存在的条件,描述它们,并对提供给每个消费者的稳态干预的变化进行此类均衡的敏感性分析。

This study examines the effectiveness of LU-PZE3, a web-based interactive tool designed to help students visualize and interact with fundamental concepts in automatic control. A total of 200 students enrolled in an introductory course on automatic control had the option to use LU-PZE as an additional resource for learning. LU-PZE offers users randomized quizzes, structured assignments, and real-time visualizations of theoretical concepts. An analysis of student usage shows that LU-PZE successfully increased student engagement and improved their understanding of automatic control principles. Student feedback also reveals that the students appreciate interactive tools for learning. These findings suggest that LU-PZE can be a valuable tool for teachers to promote active learning and enhance student outcomes in introductory courses in automatic control.

Fault-tolerant prescribed performance control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems 一类不确定非线性系统的容错规定性能控制

This paper addresses the enhancement of prescribed performance control (PPC) robustness under inelastic actuator faults. PPC is a control strategy that enforces user-defined bounds on output tracking errors to ensure desired transient and steady-state performance, assuming ideal actuator functioning. However, actuator faults compromise this guarantee, risking violation of performance bounds and potential system instability. To overcome this limitation, a robust modification of the conventional PPC is proposed, capable of effectively managing errors during performance bound violations while maintaining closed-loop stability. The approach ensures finite-time error recovery to the prescribed bounds once faults are mitigated, without relying on fault detection mechanisms, thereby simplifying the control scheme. Theoretical analysis confirms the stability and robustness of the proposed controller, and simulation studies validate its effectiveness.
本文研究了在执行器非弹性故障情况下提高规定性能控制(PPC)鲁棒性的问题。PPC是一种控制策略,它在输出跟踪误差上强制执行用户定义的界限,以确保理想的瞬态和稳态性能,假设理想的执行器功能。然而,执行器故障破坏了这种保证,有可能违反性能界限和潜在的系统不稳定。为了克服这一限制,提出了对传统PPC的鲁棒修改,能够在保持闭环稳定性的同时有效地管理性能边界违反期间的错误。该方法在不依赖于故障检测机制的情况下,保证故障在有限时间内恢复到规定的范围内,从而简化了控制方案。理论分析证实了所提控制器的稳定性和鲁棒性,仿真研究验证了其有效性。

The approach ensures finite-time error recovery to the prescribed bounds once faults are mitigated, without relying on fault detection mechanisms, thereby simplifying the control scheme. Theoretical analysis confirms the stability and robustness of the proposed controller, and simulation studies validate its effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50489,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Control","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 101362"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145645531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper deals with nonlinear boundary stabilization of a 1D reaction–diffusion equation with input delay. Using the modal decomposition approach, we propose a homogeneous-based predictor feedback for stabilizing the unstable modes. We prove the stability of the closed-loop system via the construction of a suitable Lyapunov functional. We present numerical simulations to support the analytical results and compare our proposed controller to linear predictor feedback regarding closed-loop performance and peaking effect.
研究一类具有输入时滞的一维反应扩散方程的非线性边界镇定问题。利用模态分解方法,我们提出了一种基于齐次的预测器反馈来稳定不稳定模态。通过构造一个合适的Lyapunov泛函,证明了闭环系统的稳定性。我们提出了数值模拟来支持分析结果,并将我们提出的控制器与线性预测器反馈在闭环性能和峰值效应方面进行了比较。
