Fluid flows play a central role in scientific and technological development, many of these are characterized by dominant oscillation, such as the vortex shedding wake nearly all transportation vehicles. The ability to control is critical improve aerodynamic performance unsteady fluid flow systems. This goal requires precise characterization how perturbations affect long-time phase oscillatory f...

The purpose of this paper is to present some results about the influence of fixed boundary conditions in biological regulation networks. More precisely, we will present theoretical and simulation results in the context of theoretical connected regulation networks on Z. These results will show under which conditions phase transitions emerge from the asymptotic behaviour of such networks when the...

The problem of the non-causal inversion of linear multivariable discrete-time systems is analyzed in the geometric approach framework and is solved through the computation of convolution pro#les which guarantee perfect tracking under the assumption of in#nite-length preaction and postaction time intervals. It is shown how the shape of the convolution pro#les is related to both the relative degr...

This paper presents an override controller which ensures that constrained output variables retain certain prescribed strict bounds. The class of nominal closed loop systems considered for the constrained output regulation problem is strictly proper and minimum phase, assuming for each output measurement constraint one available actuator and the first Markov parameter to be full rank. This neces...

The wheel speed control problem of an automotive powertrain equipped with a conventional spark-ignition engine directly connected to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and an electronic throttle is considered. We revisit the seminal work by Guzzella and Schmid and show that the control structure that dedicates the throttle actuator to maintaining engine operation at the maximum fuel eff...
