Recent Advances in Analysis and Design of Cyber-physical Systems using Passivity Indices [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Analysis and resilient design of Cyber-physical Systems have greatly benefited from energy based concepts of passivity and dissipativity. Recently, there has been much research devoted to the use of passivity indices in different components of Cyber-physical systems. Passivity indices are measures of passivity, indicating how passive a system is or how
