Accessibility of Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems [PDF]
A full characterization of accessibility is provided for nonlinear time-delay systems. It generalizes the rank condition which is known for weak controllability of linear time-delay systems, as well as the celebrated geometric approach for delay-free ...

An Algorithm to Automatically Detect the Smale Horseshoes
Smale horseshoes, curvilinear rectangles and their U-shaped images patterned on Smale's famous example, provide a rigorous way to study chaos in dynamical systems.

Optimal control of nonlinear systems: a predictive control approach [PDF]
A new nonlinear predictive control law for a class of multivariable nonlinear systems is presented in this paper. It is shown that the closed-loop dynamics under this nonlinear predictive controller explicitly depend on design parameters (prediction time

In this paper, finite‐time cluster synchronization (FTCS) in networks of nonidentical coupled dynamical systems is addressed by introducing a discontinuous interaction rule. This interaction rule overcomes the effect of heterogeneous dynamics among nodes.

This paper presents a novel unified approach of controller design and identification for unknown input affine nonlinear systems. An issue with obtaining the best performance of optimal control is that identification errors degrade control performance ...

Suppression of Base Excitation of Rotors on Magnetic Bearings
This paper deals with rotor systems that suffer harmonic base excitation when supported on magnetic bearings. Magnetic bearings using conventional control techniques perform poorly in such situations mainly due to their highly nonlinear characteristics ...

On a switching control scheme for nonlinear systems with ill-defined relative degree [PDF]
This paper discusses the applicability of a switching control scheme for a nonlinear system with ill-defined relative degree. The control scheme switches between exact and approximate input-output linearisation control laws.

The Investigation of Nonlinear Polynomial Control Systems
The paper considers methods for estimating stability using Lyapunov functions, which are used for nonlinear polynomial control systems. The apparatus of the Gro¨bner basis method is used to assess the stability of a dynamical system. A description of the

Controllability in nonlinear systems
AbstractIn this paper we obtain an explicit expression for the reachable set for a class of nonlinear systems. This class is described by a chain condition on the Lie algebra of vector fields associated with each nonlinear system. These ideas are used to obtain a generalization of a controllability result for linear systems in the case where ...

Nonlinear Control of Networked Dynamical Systems
We develop a principled mathematical framework for controlling nonlinear, networked dynamical systems. Our method integrates dimensionality reduction, bifurcation theory and emerging model discovery tools to find low-dimensional subspaces where feed-forward control can be used to manipulate a system to a desired outcome.
