Overall Objectives

Valse team studies the estimation and control problems arising in the analysis and the design of distributed, uncertain and interconnected dynamical systems:

• Using the concepts of finite-time/fixed-time/hyperexponential convergence and stability, the main idea is to separate and hierarchize in time the control and estimation processes, which are distributed in space. This greatly simplifies their analysis and the design for large-scale solutions.

• The main areas of investigation and application are Internet of things and cyber-physical systems.

• The team aims to draw up algorithms for decentralized finite-time control and estimation. The methodology to be developed includes extensions of the theory of homogeneous systems and of finite-time/fixed-time/hyperexponential convergence and stability notions. A particular attention is given to applications in real-world scenarios.

• It is a joint proposal with the CNRS CRIStAL UMR 9189 (Centrale Lille and the University of Lille).
