Constrained finite-time stabilization by model predictive control: an infinite control horizon framework

This paper proposes an infinite-horizon Model Predictive Control framework that achieves constrained finite-time stabilization for discrete-time linear and feedback-linearizable nonlinear systems by replacing short-horizon terminal costs with an infinite sum of stage costs, thereby significantly enlarging the initial feasibility region while ensuring computational tractability and eliminating the need for terminal equality constraints or switching strategies.

Vector-field guided constraint-following control for path following of uncertain mechanical systems

This paper proposes a vector-field guided constraint-following control approach that solves the dynamics-level geometric path-following problem for uncertain mechanical systems, effectively handling both fully-actuated and underactuated configurations with heterogeneous, fast time-varying uncertainties of unknown bounds and self-intersecting desired paths.

Existence and Design of Functional Observers for Time-Delay Systems with Delayed Output Measurements

This paper addresses the functional state estimation problem for linear time-delay systems with distinct state and measurement delays by proposing three observer structures, establishing algebraic existence conditions, and introducing a functional augmentation framework to facilitate the systematic design of observers with varying orders.

Amplitude Dependent Bode Diagrams via Scaled Relative Graphs

This paper introduces a method for computing less conservative L2L_2-gain bounds for nonlinear Lur'e systems over restricted frequency and amplitude ranges by combining Scaled Relative Graphs with Sobolev theory, resulting in a three-dimensional nonlinear generalization of the Bode diagram that recovers both the standard LTI Bode plot and the global L2L_2-gain as limiting cases.

Do Spatial Descriptors Improve Multi-DoF Finger Movement Decoding from HD sEMG?

This study demonstrates that while the multichannel linear descriptors-based block field method (MLD-BFM) achieves the highest accuracy in decoding five finger-joint degrees of freedom from HD sEMG, its performance is not statistically superior to conventional time-domain features, though it significantly outperforms dimensionality reduction methods, highlighting the critical importance of preserving spatial resolution in high-density recordings.
