A Glimpse on Recent Educational Activities in the Nonlinear Control Field

This contribution aims at making an overview of the most recent activities/contributions in education in the control field by members of the Technical Committee Nonlinear Systems, in order to share the best practices and ideas in the community, as well as to investigate into the level of...
Output invisible control allocation with asymptotic optimization for nonlinear systems in normal form
Robust distributed control of quasilinear reaction–diffusion equations via infinite-dimensional sliding modes
A lower bound on the dimension of minimal positive realizations for discrete time systems

In some applications, one is interested in having a state–space realization with nonnegative matrices (positive realization) of a given transfer function and it is known that such a realization may have a dimension strictly larger than the order of the transfer function itself. The aim of this...
An adaptive pseudo-inverse method for the fault-tolerant output allocation in linear observers with redundant sensors
Optimizing output regulation for a class of underactuated LPV systems
A robust sensorless control for PMSM with online parameter identification
Distributed optimal control of degenerate reaction-diffusion equations
A switched and scheduled design for model recovery anti-windup of linear plants

We provide two nonlinear solutions to the model recovery anti-windup (MRAW) design problem, both of them relying on the definition of a set of nested ellipsoids in the state space of the anti-windup dynamics. Each ellipsoidal set arises from a convenient trade-off between size of the ellipsoid and...
