This thesis proposes a novel Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy, which modifies the usual MPC cost function in order to achieve a desirable sparse actuation. It features an ℓ1-regularised least squares loss function, in which the control error variance competes with the sum of input channels...

This book sheds light on networked control systems; it describes different techniques for asynchronous control, moving away from the periodic actions of classical control, replacing them with state-based decisions and reducing the frequency with which communication between subsystems is required....
Chaos in Electric Drive Systems
Analysis, Control and Application
Language: English
Release Date: March 31, 2011
In Chaos in Electric Drive Systems: Analysis, Control and Application authors Chau and Wang systematically introduce an emerging technology of electrical engineering that bridges abstract chaos theory and practical electric drives. The authors consolidate all important information in this interdisciplinary...

Applications in Unilateral Mechanics and Electronics
Language: English
Release Date: February 19, 2018
This brief examines mathematical models in nonsmooth mechanics and nonregular electrical circuits, including evolution variational inequalities, complementarity systems, differential inclusions, second-order dynamics, Lur'e systems and Moreau's sweeping process.
The field of nonsmooth dynamics...
Stabilization and Regulation of Nonlinear Systems
A Robust and Adaptive Approach
Language: English
Release Date: August 30, 2014
The core of this textbook is a systematic and self-contained treatment of the nonlinear stabilization and output regulation problems.

This book develops original results regarding singular dynamic systems following two different paths. The first consists of generalizing results from classical state-space cases to linear descriptor systems, such as dilated linear matrix inequality (LMI) characterizations for descriptor systems and...
Pinning Control of Complex Networked Systems
Synchronization, Consensus and Flocking of Networked Systems via Pinning
Language: English
Release Date: January 4, 2013
Synchronization, consensus and flocking are ubiquitous requirements in networked systems. Pinning Control of Complex Networked Systems investigates these requirements by using the pinning control strategy, which aims to control the whole dynamical network with huge numbers of nodes by imposing controllers...
Random Walks and Diffusions on Graphs and Databases
An Introduction
Language: English
Release Date: May 26, 2011
Most networks and databases that humans have to deal with contain large, albeit finite number of units. Their structure, for maintaining functional consistency of the components, is essentially not random and calls for a precise quantitative description of relations between nodes (or data units) and...

Language: English
Release Date: July 8, 2014
Featuring original research from well-known experts in the field of sliding mode control, this book presents new design schemes for a useful and practical optimal control with very few impractical assumptions. The results presented allow optimal control theory to grow in its applicability to real-world...

Classical and Quantum Strategies for Multi-agent, Multi-choice Repetitive Games
Language: English
Release Date: July 19, 2017
This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to multi-agent, multi-choice repetitive games, such as the Kolkata Restaurant Problem and the Minority Game. It explains how the tangible formulations of these games, using stochastic strategies developed by statistical physicists employing both...

Musical Creativity in the Light of Algorithmic Composition
Language: English
Release Date: January 11, 2015
The present book is the result of a three year research project which investigated the creative act of composing by means of algorithmic composition. Central to the investigation are the compositional strategies of 12 composers, which were documented through a dialogic and cyclic process of modelling...
