An overview of the recent results on economic model predictive control (EMPC) is presented
and discussed addressing both closed-loop stability and performance for nonlinear systems …

This article presents a survey of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications in smart cities,
emphasizing integration challenges. Smart cities leverage innovative technologies …

In this paper, three types of uncertain high-order nonlinear models are firstly proposed,
namely, a single high-order fully actuated (HOFA) model with nonlinear uncertainties, an …

An advantage of a high-order fully-actuated (HOFA) system is that there exists a controller
such that a constant linear closed-loop system with an arbitrarily assignable eigenstructure …

Three types of high-order system models with parametric uncertainties are introduced,
namely, the high-order fully actuated (HOFA) models, and the second-and high-order strict …

In a pedagogical but exhaustive manner, this survey reviews the main results on input-to-
state stability (ISS) for infinite-dimensional systems. This property allows for the estimation of …

l\lany systems encountered in practice involve a coupling between contin uous dynamics
and discrete events. Systems in which these two kinds of dynamics coexist and interact are …

Being a motion on a discontinuity set of a dynamic system, sliding mode is used to keep
accurately a given constraint and features theoretically-infinite-frequency switching …

This year is the 50th anniversary of Otto J. Smith's 1959 publication of a control design idea
commonly referred as the Smith predictor for the compensation of actuator delays. Actuator …

A type of high-order fully actuated (HOFA) systems with both nonlinear uncertainties and
time-varying unknown parameters is considered, and a direct approach for the designs of …
