SUMMARY:On feedback control of switches and oscillators based on dominance

DESCRIPTION:The seminar shows how to use feedback to steer stable systems 
 into switches and oscillators\, in spite of uncertainties. The approach is
  based on dominance theory and differential dissipativity. We revisit thos
 e theories and we show how classical tools like root locus and Nyquist dia
 grams provide fundamental insights on the controller structure and on gain
  tuning for nonlinear control. Then we derive controllers in a systematic 
 way\, using linear matrix inequalities. This also enables the design of th
 e dissipativity features of the closed-loop system\, to tackle interconnec
 tions and uncertainties.\n\nThe seminar can be accessed following the link
