Adaptive LQ control with anti-windup augmentation to optimize UAV performance in autonomous soaring applications
(2008)The performance of a glider can be considerably improved by means of soaring and optimization of its trajectory. Recent advances in the area of static soaring assume known linear glider dynamics and no actuator saturation ...

Bank filters for ML parameter estimation via the Expectation-Maximization algorithm: The continuous-time case
(1998)In this paper we consider continuous-time partially observed systems in which the parameters are unknown. We employ conditional moment generating functions of integrals and stochastic integrals to derive new maximum-likelihood ...

Certain nonlinear partially observable stochastic optimal control problems with explicit control laws equivalent to LEQG/LQG problems
(1997)This paper is concerned with partially observed stochastic optimal control problems when nonlinearities enter the dynamics of the unobservable state and the observations as gradients of potential functions. Explicit ...

Digraph analysis of large-scale systems: The system primitive
(1979)Mapping differential equations into digraphs is shown to give additional insight into system properties, such as controllability and observability. The concept of the system primitive is introduced. © 1979, The Institution ...

Distributed function calculation via linear iterative strategies in the presence of malicious agents
(2011)Given a network of interconnected nodes, each with its own value (such as a measurement, position, vote, or other data), we develop a distributed strategy that enables some or all of the nodes to calculate any arbitrary ...

Exact filters for Newton-Raphson parameter estimation algorithms for continuous-time partially observed stochastic systems
(IEEE, 1999)This paper presents explicit finite-dimensional filters for implementing Newton-Raphson (NR) parameter estimation algorithms. The models which exhibit nonlinear parameter dependence are stochastic, continuous-time and ...

Information dissemination in networks via linear iterative strategies over finite fields
(2009)Given an arbitrary network of interconnected nodes, each with an initial value from a discrete set, we consider the problem of distributively disseminating these initial values under the constraint that the nodes can only ...

Necessary conditions of optimization for partially observed controlled diffusions
(1999)Necessary conditions are derived for stochastic partially observed control problems when the control enters the drift coefficient and correlation between signal and observation noise is allowed. The problem is formulated ...
