We consider constrained multiple-spacecraft reconfigurations outside of a gravity well in deep space. As opposed to the single-spacecraft scenario, such reconfigurations involve collision avoidance constraints that can be formalized and embedded in a nonconvex.

It is shown that the least order dynamic output feedback which stabilizes a given linear time invariant plant can be found via a semi-definite program.
We present a disturbance rejection mechanism for the formation flying of multiple spacecraft based on a robust control approach in terms of an H control problem.
We present several results on the leader-following (LF) paradigm in the formation flying of multiple spacecraft in free space.
We present several results on the leader-following (LF) paradigm in the formation flying of multiple spacecraft in free space.
Several results on the reconfigurable control architecture for the formation flying of multiple spacecraft are presented.
We present a non-interior point based, polynomial-time, algorithm for solving certain classes of rank minimization problem.
We show that a semi-definite programming approach can be adopted to determine the least order dynamic output feedback which stabilizes a given linear time invariant plant.
We present a disturbance rejection mechanism for the formation flying of multiple spacecraft based on a robust control approach in terms of an H(sub infinity) control problem. The corresponding H(sub infinity) control problem is then solved numerically using linear matrix inequalities.
The purpose of the paper is to present the steps that have been taken towards an algorithm theory of stability and robustness.
We consider the problem of minimizing the rank of a positive semidefinite matrix, subject to the constraint that an affine transformation of it is also positive semidefinite.
From end of intro: ...We would like to show that for certain problems in systems and control theory, there exist algorithms for which corresponding (xi) can be viewed as a certain measure of robustness, e.g., stability margin.
