Circumnavigation Using Distance Measurements Under Slow Drift

TL;DR: The key challenge tackled in this paper is to design a control law that closes the loop by marrrying the two goals, as long as the initial estimate of the source location is not coincident with the intial position of B, the algorithm is guaranteed to be exponentially convergent when A is stationary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of Minimally Persistent Formations in the Plane

TL;DR: A certain submatrix of a matrix known as the rigidity matrix can be proved to have nonzero leading principal minors, which allows the determination of a stabilizing control law.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discrete positive-real functions and their application to system stability

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of discrete-time transfer function matrices termed discrete positive-real matrices is defined, and a system theoretic description of them is given, analogous to that for ordinary positive real matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonnegative realization of a linear system with nonnegative impulse response

TL;DR: An essentially complete characterization is given of the H(z) allowing such a realization, in terms of the location of the pole or poles of H(Z) with maximum modulus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Failures of Adaptive Control Theory and Their Resolution

TL;DR: This paper explains why trust in adaptive control is warranted, by reviewing a number of adaptive control approaches which have proved deficient for some reason that has not been immediately apparent, and examines several instances of such a mismatch.
