During the five days of the school, several breakthrough topics in the context of nonlinear observers design, hybrid control systems and nonlinear optimization will be illustrated by the three speakers. The following three main tracks will be followed.
In the area of hybrid control systems, the students will be exposed to a powerful modelling framework for hybrid dynamical systems and will learn how it can be used to produce novel feedback algorithms to solve a variety of challenging nonlinear control problems. These problems include robust stabilization and tracking on compact manifolds (like the unit circle and SO(3)), tracking in billiard systems (systems with impacts), and uniting local and global controllers, among others.
Attention is given to those specific observers that are finite dimensional dynamical systems with measurements as inputs and estimates as outputs. In this context necessary and sufficient conditions will be characterized, for having the estimates converge to the corresponding theoretical values.
Concerning the nonlinear optimal control design, after recalling basic ideas behind Lasserre’s hierarchy of LMI relaxations for static polynomial optimization, occupation measures are introduced which allow to extend the LMI relaxation hierarchy to dynamic polynomial optimization. Numerical solutions with guaranteed convergence for challenging problems of optimal control will then be presented.
