Ahmadi Dastjerdi, A. (author), Astolfi, Alessandro (author), Hassan HosseinNia, S. (author)Reset controllers have the potential to enhance the performance of high-precision industrial motion systems. However, similar to other non-linear controllers, the stability analysis for these controllers is complex and often requires parametric model of the system, which may hinder their applicability. In this paper a frequency-domain...journal article 2023

Khosravi, M. (author), Smith, Roy S. (author)This paper discusses the problem of system identification when frequency domain side-information is available. We mainly consider the case where the side-information is provided as the H<sub>∞</sub>-norm of the system being bounded by a given scalar. This framework allows considering different forms of frequency domain side-information, such...journal article 2023

Buitenhuis, R. N. (author), Saikumar, N. (author), Hassan HosseinNia, S. (author)The ever-increasing industry desire for improved performance makes linear controller design run into fundamental limitations. Nonlinear control methods such as Reset Control (RC) are needed to overcome these. RC is a promising candidate since, unlike other nonlinear methods, it easily integrates into the industry-preferred PID design...journal article 2023
