Shaping oscillations via mixed feedback
We study the problem of controlling oscillations in closed loop by combining positive and negative feedback in a mixed configuration. We develop a complete design procedure to set the relative strength of the two feedback loops to achieve steady oscillations. The proposed design takes advantage of dominance theory and adopts classical harmonic balance and fast/slow analysis to regulate the frequency of oscillations. The design is illustrated on a simple two-mass system, a setting that reveals the potential of the approach for locomotion, mimicking approaches based on central pattern generators.

Dominant Mixed Feedback Design for Stable Oscillations
We present a design framework to induce stable oscillations through mixed feedback control. We provide conditions on the feedback gain and on the balance between positive and negative feedback contributions to guarantee …
A tunable mixed feedback oscillator
The interplay of positive and negative feedback loops on different time scales appears to be a fundamental mechanisms for robust and tunable oscillations in both biological systems and electro-mechanical systems. We deve…
Oscillations in Mixed-Feedback Systems
A new method is presented for the analysis of limit cycle oscillations in mixed-feedback systems. The calculation of the limit cycle is reformulated as the zero finding of a mixed-monotone relation, that is, of the diffe…
Mixed-feedback oscillations in the foraging dynamics of arboreal turtle ants
We propose and analyze a model for the dynamics of the flow into and out of a nest for the arboreal turtle ant $\textit{Cephalotes goniodontus}$ during foraging to investigate a possible mechanism for the emergence of os…
Promoter methylation in a mixed feedback loop circadian clock model
We introduce and analyze an extension of the mixed feedback loop model of Fran\c{c}ois and Hakim. Our extension includes an additional promoter state and allows for reversible protein sequestration, which was absent from…
