    The notion of a shuffle-rational formal power series is introduced. Then two equivalent characterizations are presented, one in terms of an analogue of Schützenberger’s recognizability of a series, and the other in the context of state space realizations of nonlinear input-output systems represented by Chen-Fliess series. An underlying computational framework is also described which employs the Hopf algebra associated with the shuffle group. As an application, it is shown how to model a bilinear system with output saturation in this context.

    A new learning methodology in terms of a discretization of a so-called Chen-Fliess series of a control affine nonlinear system was recently proposed, in part, for the purpose of systematically including system structure and expert knowledge into control strategies. The main objective of this paper is to appropriately embed this learning unit as a supporting predictive controller for power dynamical systems. In particular, an infinite bus system is used for the prototype design of a smart and active control policy to regulate voltage and frequency. It is demonstrated by simulation how a controller employing a Chen-Fliess learning unit can recover from a fault and address modeling mismatch.

    Artificial neural networks have traditionally been used to implement machine learning algorithms. There are, however, alternatives to these biologically inspired machine learning architectures that offer potentially lower complexity and stronger theoretical underpinnings. One such option in the context of control is based on using a generic input-output model known as a Chen-Fliess functional series. The main goal of the paper is to describe a specific architecture that can be used in the multivariable setting to combine both learning and model based control. It builds on recent work by the authors showing that a certain monoid structure underlies any recursive implementation of such a system. The method is demonstrated using a two-input, two-output Lotka-Volterra system.

    A hybrid control architecture for nonlinear dynamical systems is described which combines the advantages of model based control with those of real-time learning. The idea is to generate input-output data from an error system involving the plant and a proposed model. A discretized Chen-Fliess functional series is then identified from this data and used in conjunction with the model for predictive control. This method builds on the authors’ previous work on model-free control of a single-input, single-output Lotka-Volterra system.The problem is revisited here, but now with the introduction of a model for the dynamics. The single-input, multiple-output version of the problem is also investigated as a way to enhance closed-loop performance
