Homogeneous Observer‐Based Affine Formation Tracking
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article addresses the control of mobile agents, termed followers, to track a time‐varying affine formation specified by a set of leaders. We present a distributed hierarchical method composed of a homogeneous high‐order sliding mode observer and a tracking controller. The observer estimates the followers' target trajectories from neighbor

Dynamic Event‐Triggered Robust Model Predictive Control for Quadrotor Trajectory Tracking
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper addresses the trajectory tracking problem for a full‐state quadrotor subject to physical model constraints and unknown external disturbances. A robust tube‐based model predictive control (MPC) approach is successfully applied to the system, which is subject to bounded disturbances and hard constraints.

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Alcohol policy liberalization is a contentious issue in the United States, including debates over whether grocery stores should be allowed to sell wine. This issue reflects a dilemma between accommodating consumer convenience, promoting wine industry growth, and generating tax revenue, versus concerns about potential harm to liquor stores ...

On directional derivatives of trace functionals of the form $A\mapsto\Tr(Pf(A))$
, 2018 Given a function $f:(0,\infty)\rightarrow\RR$ and a positive semidefinite $n\times n$ matrix $P$, one may define a trace functional on positive definite $n\times n$ matrices as $A\mapsto \Tr(Pf(A))$.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Markov Determinantal Point Process for Dynamic Random Sets
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Law of Determinantal Point Process (LDPP) is a flexible parametric family of distributions over random sets defined on a finite state space, or equivalently over multivariate binary variables. The aim of this paper is to introduce Markov processes of random sets within the LDPP framework. We show that, when the pairwise distribution of two

Moore-Penrose inverse of a hollow symmetric matrix and a predistance matrix
Special Matrices, 2016 By a hollow symmetric matrix we mean a symmetric matrix with zero diagonal elements. The notion contains those of predistance matrix and Euclidean distance matrix as its special cases.
