Robust Optimal Control of a Tailsitter UAV
… to model, thus necessitating the use of a robust control method to overcome the resulting uncertainties in the model. A feedback-linearizing controller augmented with an H-Infinity robust control is developed to regulate the altitude and pitch angle of the vehicle for the whole flight …

Robust Optimal Control of Step Motors by Lead Angle Selection (Incremental Motion)
… used as the actuator in an incremental motion control system, there is a need to control the step motor to move quickly from one point to another. In this thesis, a near-optimal control for the point-to-point move has been developed that is implementable in real time. Four lead-angle function …

Applications of robust optimal control to decision making in the presence of uncertainty
This thesis is concerned with robustness of decision making in financial economics. Feedback control models developed in engineering are applied to three separate though linked problems in order to examine the role and impact of robustness in the creation and application of decision rules. Three …

Utility Indifference Pricing of Credit Instruments
… by the lack of liquidity. Through stochastic optimal control methods, we use indifference pricing with exponential utility to determine corporate bond prices and CDS spreads. In the first part we examine how these quantities are affected by risk aversion under different models of default. The …

Tackling performativity in discrete-time dynamical systems: An iterative refinement approach
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2024-03-01 without embargo terms

A control system viewpoint for manipulating heat equation and maximum entropy principle for design of experiments
… of a one-dimensional rod through feedback control methods. In the second part of this work, we consider an unrelated problem of the design of experiments with imputable features. In particular, in the first part of this work, we use the central difference method and basis function approach …

Control-systems based analysis and design methods for scanning probe microscopy
… evidence indicating the feasibility of rational control, manipulation and interrogation of matter at the atomic scale. A class of devices, with micro-sized sensor probes, called Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) are in the forefront of the technology that have demonstrated imaging and …

High-Dimensional Optimal Path Planning and Multi-Timescale Lagrangian Data Assimilation in Stochastic Dynamical Ocean Environments
… and make decisions under uncertainty, all in optimal integrated fashion and over long duration, persistently adapting to and sustainably utilizing the ocean environment. The ocean is a prime example of multiscale nonlinear multidisciplinary and strongly coupled dynamics where measurements of …
