About the Lab

Professor Jung Hoon Kim's research lab specializes in control theory and systems engineering, with a strong focus on sampled-data systems, robust control, and stability analysis of dynamic systems. The lab develops advanced mathematical frameworks for optimal controller synthesis, particularly using L1 and H2 norms, and emphasizes the use of novel discretization and approximation techniques such as lifting and kernel approximation to compute induced norms efficiently. Key contributions include delay-dependent stability analysis using improved integral inequalities and theoretical modeling of human balance dynamics via the linear inverted pendulum model. The lab’s work bridges theoretical control theory with practical applications in robotics and automation.

Further improvement of Jensen inequality and application to stability of time-delayed systems
Jung Hoon Kim
Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja)

This paper is concerned with the delay-dependent stability for the linear systems with a time-varying delay. To get a result in the form of LMI from a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, an integral inequality is necessary and Jensen inequality has been a most powerful inequality in the last few years. Recently, based on Wirtinger inequality, an improved integral inequality, encompassing Jensen inequality, was proposed and its application to the stability showed a quite improvement. In this paper, w

Computing the L ∞ ‐induced norm of linear time‐invariant systems via Kernel approximation and its comparison with input approximation
Jung Hoon Kim, Tomomichi Hagiwara
SJR Q2IET Control Theory and ApplicationsOA

This study deals with the L 1 analysis of stable finite‐dimensional linear time‐invariant (LTI) systems, by which the authors mean the computation of the L ∞ ‐induced norm of these systems. To compute this norm, they need to integrate the absolute value of the impulse response of the given system, which corresponds to the kernel function in the convolution formula for the input/output relation. However, it is very difficult to compute this integral exactly or even approximately with an explicit

A Theoretical Framework for Stability Regions for Standing Balance of Humanoids Based on Their LIPM Treatment
Jung Hoon Kim, Jongwoo Lee, Yonghwan Oh
SJR Q1IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics Systems

The aim of this paper is to construct a theoretical framework for stability analysis relevant to standing balance of humanoids on top of the linear inverted pendulum model, in which their dynamics between the center of mass (CoM) and the zero moment point (ZMP) is dealt with. Based on the well-known sufficient condition that the contact between the ground and the support leg is stable if the corresponding ZMP is always inside the supporting region, this paper aims at characterizing three types o

Extensive theoretical/numerical comparative studies on H 2 and generalised H 2 norms in sampled-data systems
Jung Hoon Kim, Tomomichi Hagiwara
SJR Q2International Journal of ControlOA

This paper is concerned with linear time-invariant (LTI) sampled-data systems (by which we mean sampled-data systems with LTI generalised plants and LTI controllers) and studies their H 2 norms from the viewpoint of impulse responses and generalised H 2 norms from the viewpoint of the induced norms from L 2 to L ∞. A new definition of the H 2 norm of LTI sampled-data systems is first introduced through a sort of intermediate standpoint of those for the existing two definitions. We then establish

Further results on the L1 analysis of sampled-data systems via kernel approximation approach
Jung Hoon Kim, Tomomichi Hagiwara
SJR Q2International Journal of Control

This paper gives two methods for the L1 analysis of sampled-data systems, by which we mean computing the L∞-induced norm of sampled-data systems. This is achieved by developing what we call the kernel approximation approach in the setting of sampled-data systems. We first consider the lifting treatment of sampled-data systems and give an operator theoretic representation of their input/output relation. We further apply the fast-lifting technique by which the sampling interval [0, h) is divided i

A two-sector model with target-return pricing in a stock-flow consistent framework
Jung Hoon Kim, Marc Lavoie
SJR Q2Economic Systems Research

In this paper, we build a generalized two-sector Kaleckian growth model and explore the dynamics towards long-run positions. The model incorporates conflicting claims of labour and firms over income distribution and endogenous labour-saving technical progress. Adopting a stock-flow consistent framework, our simulation experiments yield the following results. First, the ‘paradox of thrift’ and the ‘paradox of costs’ hold, meaning that lower saving rates generate higher growth rates while higher r

L1 optimal controller synthesis for sampled‐data systems via piecewise linear kernel approximation
Jung Hoon Kim, Tomomichi Hagiwara
SJR Q1International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control

Abstract This article provides a new framework for the so‐called L 1 optimal control problem of sampled‐data systems, that is, the synthesis problem of a discrete‐time optimal controller minimizing the continuous‐time L ∞ ‐induced norm of the closed‐loop system for a given continuous‐time plant. The main idea is to develop the approximation method called the piecewise linear kernel approximation (PLKA) method, by which the kernel function of the input operator together with the hold function of

Spectrum of Monodromy Operator for a Time-Delay System With Application to Stability Analysis
Jung Hoon Kim, Tomomichi Hagiwara, Kentaro Hirata
SJR Q1IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control

This note studies the spectral properties of monodromy operators, which play an important role in stability analysis of linear time-invariant time-delay feedback systems. The note is motivated by the fact that this operator can actually be defined naturally on four spaces, where the difference stems from different choices for the function space on which the infinite-dimensional state of such a time-delay system is assumed to take its value. It is first shown that the spectrum of the monodromy op

Performance analysis for bounded persistent disturbances in PD/PID-controlled robotic systems with its experimental demonstrations
Jung Hoon Kim, Sung-moon Hur, Yonghwan Oh
SJR Q2International Journal of Control

This paper is concerned with performance analysis of proportional-derivative/proportional-integral-derivative (PD/PID) controller for bounded persistent disturbances in a robotic manipulator. Even though the notion of input-to-state stability (ISS) has been widely used to deal with the effect of disturbances in control of a robotic manipulator, the corresponding studies cannot be directly applied to the treatment of persistent disturbances occurred in robotic manipulators. This is because the co
