Section: Overall Objectives

Highlights of the Year

• The Implicit Lyapunov Function (ILF) method for non-asymptotic (finite-time and fixed-time) stability analysis of ordinary differential equations has been developed in [75] . The new principles for design of non-asymptotic controls based on ILF are presented.

• New developments for interval estimation of time-delay systems [22] , [56] and control of systems with unknown time-varying input delays based on interval predictors [34] , [76] .

• New results for control of linear [59] or nonlinear [73] systems using asynchronous sampling.

• New book on fault detection and isolation in aerospace systems [86] .

• New application has been addressed dealing with the networked control of haptic systems.

• New concrete application of homogeneous, finite-time control, to a pneumatic actuator [36] .

• A patent with Airbus has been deposed for a fault detection in actuators of an airplane [87] .
