Basic problems in stability and design of switched systems

Daniel Liberzon, A. Stephen Morse · 1 Oct 1999

By a switched system, we mean a hybrid dynamical system consisting of a family of continuous-time subsystems and a rule that orchestrates the switching between them. The article surveys developments in three basic problems regarding stability and design of switched systems. These problems are: stability for arbitrary switching sequences, stability for certain useful classes of…

Stability of networked control systems

Wei Zhang, Michael S. Branicky, S.M. Phillips · 1 Feb 2001

First, we review some previous work on networked control systems (NCSs) and offer some improvements. Then, we summarize the fundamental issues in NCSs and examine them with different underlying network-scheduling protocols. We present NCS models with network-induced delay and analyze their stability using stability regions and a hybrid systems technique. Following that, we discuss methods…

Information consensus in multivehicle cooperative control

Wei Ren, Randal W. Beard, Ella Atkins · 1 Apr 2007

The purpose of this article is to provide a tutorial overview of information consensus in multivehicle cooperative control. Theoretical results regarding consensus-seeking under both time invariant and dynamically changing communication topologies are summarized. Several specific applications of consensus algorithms to multivehicle coordination are described

Biomimicry of bacterial foraging for distributed optimization and control

Kevin M. Passino · 1 Jun 2002

We explain the biology and physics underlying the chemotactic (foraging) behavior of E. coli bacteria. We explain a variety of bacterial swarming and social foraging behaviors and discuss the control system on the E. coli that dictates how foraging should proceed. Next, a computer program that emulates the distributed optimization process represented by the activity…

A survey of iterative learning control

Douglas A. Bristow, Marina Tharayil, Andrew G. Alleyne · 1 Jun 2006

This article surveyed the major results in iterative learning control (ILC) analysis and design over the past two decades. Problems in stability, performance, learning transient behavior, and robustness were discussed along with four design techniques that have emerged as among the most popular. The content of this survey was selected to provide the reader with…

IEEE Control Systems template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Control Systems format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Control Systems template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does IEEE Control Systems use?
IEEE Control Systems uses Numbered (IEEE) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," IEEE Control Systems, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Control Systems?
No. DocuGuru generates the IEEEcsmag LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Control Systems document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the IEEE Control Systems template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Control Systems format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is IEEE Control Systems?
IEEE Control Systems, published by IEEE. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by IEEE.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Control Systems PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Control Systems template (the IEEEcsmag class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the IEEE Control Systems template cost?
You can start writing in the IEEE Control Systems template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready IEEE Control Systems PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
