Persistency and stability of a class of nonlinear forced positive discrete-time systems with delays (2024)
Journal Article
Franco, D., Guiver, C., Logemann, H., & Perán, J. (2024). Persistency and stability of a class of nonlinear forced positive discrete-time systems with delays. Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 467, Article 134260. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physd.2024.134260

Persistence, excitability and stability properties are considered for a class of nonlinear, forced, positive discrete-time systems with delays. As will be illustrated, these equations arise in a number of biological and ecological contexts. Novel suf...

Operator-valued multiplier theorems for causal translation-invariant operators with applications to control theoretic input-output stability (2024)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., Logemann, H., & Opmeer, M. R. (online). Operator-valued multiplier theorems for causal translation-invariant operators with applications to control theoretic input-output stability. Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00498-024-00387-4

We prove an operator-valued Laplace multiplier theorem for causal translation-invariant linear operators which provides a characterization of continuity from~$H^\alpha(\mR,U)$ to~$H^\beta(\mR,U)$ (fractional~$U$-valued Sobolev spaces, $U$ a complex H...

The energy-balance method for optimal control in renewable energy applications (2024)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., & Opmeer, M. R. (2024). The energy-balance method for optimal control in renewable energy applications. Renewable Energy Focus, 50, Article 100582. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ref.2024.100582

A theoretical method is presented, called the energy-balance method, for maximising the energy extracted from a renewable energy converter in terms of determination of an optimal control. The method applies to control systems specified by linear grap... Read More about The energy-balance method for optimal control in renewable energy applications.

A method for constrained energy-maximising control of heaving wave-energy converters via a nonlinear frequency response (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Guiver, C. (2024, August). A method for constrained energy-maximising control of heaving wave-energy converters via a nonlinear frequency response. Presented at The 8th IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA) 2024, Newcastle Upon Tyne

A theoretical grounding is presented for justifying how frequency domain methods may be applied in the determination of constrained extracted-energy maximising controls in wave-energy conversion applications subject to nonlinear models. A computation... Read More about A method for constrained energy-maximising control of heaving wave-energy converters via a nonlinear frequency response.

Convex neural network synthesis for robustness in the 1-norm (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Drummond, R., Guiver, C., & Turner, M. C. (2024, July). Convex neural network synthesis for robustness in the 1-norm. Presented at 6th Annual Learning for Dynamics & Control Conference, Oxford, England

With neural networks being used to control safety-critical systems, they increasingly have to be both accurate (in the sense of matching inputs to outputs) and robust. However, these two properties are often at odds with each other and a trade-off ha... Read More about Convex neural network synthesis for robustness in the 1-norm.

Exponential input-to-state stability for Lur’e systems via Integral Quadratic Constraints and Zames-Falb Multipliers (2024)
Journal Article
Drummond, R., Guiver, C., & Turner, M. (2024). Exponential input-to-state stability for Lur’e systems via Integral Quadratic Constraints and Zames-Falb Multipliers. IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information, 41(1), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1093/imamci/dnae003

Absolute stability criteria which are sufficient for global exponential stability are shown, under a Lipschitz assumption, to be sufficient for the a priori stronger exponential input-to-state stability property. Important corollaries of this result... Read More about Exponential input-to-state stability for Lur’e systems via Integral Quadratic Constraints and Zames-Falb Multipliers.
