The accuracy of quantum dynamics simulation is usually measured by the error of the unitary evolution operator in the operator norm, which in turn depends on certain norm of the Hamiltonian. For unbounded operators, after suitable…
We study the linear-quadratic optimal control problem for infinite-dimensional dissipative systems with possibly indefinite cost functional. Under the assumption that a storage function exists, we show that this indefinite optimal control…
It is known that the gradient method can be viewed as a dynamic system where various iterative schemes can be designed as a part of the closed loop system with desirable properties. In this paper, the finite-time and fixed-time convergence…
The paper considers the suboptimal H-infinity control problem for a general discrete-time system (whose transfer function matrix is allowed to be improper or polynomial). The parametrization of output feedback controllers is given in a…
The main aim of this article is to prove that for any continuous function $f \colon X \to X$, where $X$ is metrizable (or, more generally, for any family $\mathcal{F}$ of such functions, satisfying an additional condition), there exists a…
We develop a method for the rigorous estimation of Hausdorff dimensions of limit sets produced by continued fraction iterated function systems. Our method is based on the approximation of a Perron-Frobenius operator using the finite element…
