Calculus of variations establishes a framework to determine the extrema of functionals—mappings from functions to real numbers—which has been pivotal in elucidating natural principles such as the ...

The well-known and nearly hundred years old "proportional-integral- derivative"(PID) controller is a linear feedback control method which adjusts the input signal by ...

This course is an introduction to the foundations of nonlinear control theory, with an emphasis on feedback stabilization. As needed, topics from differential geometry and other mathematical ...

A newly discovered connection between control theory and network dynamical systems could help estimate the size of a network even when a small portion is accessible. Understanding the spread of ...

I joined University of Colorado, Boulder back in Fall 2017 as a PhD student to Dr. Xudong Chen in Dynamics, Control Systems and Robotics (Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering Department). I am ...

Large companies use a variety of inventory control theories and mathematical formulas to help them optimize the production and storage of many thousands of units of products and to help them minimize ...
