Low‐gain integral control for a class of discrete‐time Lur'e systems with applications to sampled‐data control (2022)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., Rebarber, R., & Townley, S. (2023). Low‐gain integral control for a class of discrete‐time Lur'e systems with applications to sampled‐data control. International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 33(3), 1410-1437. https://doi.org/10.1002/rnc.6455

We study low-gain (P)roportional (I)ntegral control of multivariate discrete-time, forced Lur’e systems to solve the output-tracking problem for constant reference signals. We formulate an incremental sector condition which is sufficient for a usual...

Aizerman Conjectures for a class of multivariate positive systems (2022)
Journal Article
Drummond, R., Guiver, C., & Turner, M. (2023). Aizerman Conjectures for a class of multivariate positive systems. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 68(8), 5073 - 5080. https://doi.org/10.1109/TAC.2022.3217740

The Aizerman Conjecture predicts stability for a class of nonlinear control systems on the basis of linear system stability analysis. The conjecture is known to be false in general. Here, a number of Aizerman conjectures are shown to be true for a cl... Read More about Aizerman Conjectures for a class of multivariate positive systems.

Stabilisation by adaptive feedback control for positive difference equations with applications in pest management (2022)
Journal Article
Edholm, C., Guiver, C., Rebarber, R., Tenhumberg, B., & Townley, S. (2022). Stabilisation by adaptive feedback control for positive difference equations with applications in pest management. SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 60(4), 2214-2245. https://doi.org/10.1137/21m1398240

An adaptive feedback control scheme is proposed for stabilising a class of forced nonlinear positive difference equations. The adaptive scheme is based on so-called high-gain adaptive controllers, and contains substantial robustness with respect...

Quantifying the per-capita contribution of all components of a migratory cycle: a modelling framework (2022)
Journal Article
Smith, P., Guiver, C., & Adams, B. (2022). Quantifying the per-capita contribution of all components of a migratory cycle: a modelling framework. Ecological Modelling, 471, Article 110056. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2022.110056

Migratory species make use of different habitats and pathways at different life stages, and in different seasons. Ecological management strategies proposed for migratory species should acknowledge the importance of each component of the migratory cyc...

An equivalence framework for an age-structured multi-stage representation of the cell cycle (2022)
Journal Article
Kynaston, J. C., Guiver, C., & Yates, C. A. (2022). An equivalence framework for an age-structured multi-stage representation of the cell cycle. Physical Review E, 105(6), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.105.064411

We develop theoretical equivalences between stochastic and deterministic models for populations of individual cells stratified by age. Specifically, we develop a hierarchical system of equations describing the full dynamics of an age-structured multi...

The circle criterion for a class of sector-bounded dynamic nonlinearities (2022)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., & Logemann, H. (2022). The circle criterion for a class of sector-bounded dynamic nonlinearities. Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems, 34, 461-492. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00498-022-00324-3

We present a circle criterion which is necessary and sufficient for absolute stability with respect to a natural class of sector-bounded nonlinear causal operators. This generalized circle criterion contains the classical result as a special case. F... Read More about The circle criterion for a class of sector-bounded dynamic nonlinearities.
