Design of engineered systems whose operation is "best" or "optimal" in some sense is increasingly important. In many cases, the optimal operation of the system in steady-state is more critical than during the transients as the system operates most of the time in a steady-state regime. Moreover, in many cases it is not possible to accurately...

As far back as 1963, Beniot Mandelbrot (who sadly passed away just a few weeks ago) pointed out that asset price movements in the real world don't follow the Gaussian distribution. Instead they are "heavy-tailed" -- that is, they display a kind of self-similarity and scale-invariance. Since then, similar patterns have been observed in...

Central banks and funds investment managers work with mathematical models. In recent years, a new class of model has come into prominence—generalized dynamic factor models. These are characterized by having a modest number of inputs, corresponding to key economic variables and industry-sector-wide variables for central banks and funds managers...

Hybrid systems combine continuous-time dynamics with discrete modes of operation. The states of such system usually have two distinct components: one that evolves continuously, typically according to a differential equation; and another one that only changes through instantaneous jumps.
We present a model for Stochastic Hybrid Systems (...
IEEE 2010 CDC Semi-Plenary Lecture -
Twenty years ago I delivered a plenary lecture with the same title at the ACC in Boston. I will go back and reflect on the successes and failures, on what we have learned and which problems remain open. The focus will be on robust and constrained control and the real time implementation of control algorithms. I will comment on the progress we...
IEEE 2010 CDC Bode Lecture -
Designs in systems and control are traditionally carried out through deterministic algorithms consisting of a sequence of steps set by deterministic rules. This approach, however, can be generalized by the introduction of randomization: a randomized algorithm is an algorithm where one or more steps are based on a random rule, that is – among...
