Targets that generate multiple measurements at a given instant in time are commonly known as extended targets. These present a challenge for many tracking algorithms, as they violate one of the key assumptions of the standard measurement…
Tracking of reference signals is addressed in the context of a class of nonlinear controlled systems modelled by $r$-th order functional differential equations, encompassing inter alia systems with unknown "control direction" and dead-zone…

This paper considers the robustness of an uncertain nonlinear system along a finite-horizon trajectory. The uncertain system is modeled as a connection of a nonlinear system and a perturbation. The analysis relies on three ingredients.…
With the rise of Industry 4.0, huge amounts of data are now generated that are apt to be modelled as functional data. In this setting, standard profile monitoring methods aim to assess the stability over time of a completely observed…

For large-scale network systems, network centrality based on control theory plays a crucial role in understanding their properties and controlling them efficiently. The controllability score is such a centrality index and can give a…
Fact tracing seeks to identify specific training examples that serve as the knowledge source for a given query. Existing approaches to fact tracing rely on assessing the similarity between each training sample and the query along a certain…
`Trackability', the ability of systems to follow arbitrary reference commands, is investigated in this work. Controllability is not useful in explaining the tracking behavior of system outputs, a gap that is often overlooked. Trackability…
Online monitoring aims to evaluate or to predict, at runtime, whether or not the behaviors of a system satisfy some desired specification. It plays a key role in safety-critical cyber-physical systems. In this work, we propose a new…
Volterra observations systems with scalar kernels are studied. New sufficient conditions for admissibility of observation operators are developed. The obtained results are applied to time-fractional diffusion equations of distributed order.
Recent studies demonstrate that tool-calling capability enables large language models (LLMs) to interact with external environments for long-horizon financial tasks. While existing benchmarks have begun evaluating financial tool calling,…
Rubric-based text evaluation increasingly uses large language models (LLMs) as scalable judges, but aligning frozen black-box models with human scoring standards remains challenging. We formulate this challenge as a criteria-transfer…
In this note we develop a linear programming framework to produce upper and lower bounds for the lonely runner problem.
Detailed trace analysis of MPI applications is essential for performance engineering, but growing trace sizes and complex communication behaviour often render comprehensive visual inspection impractical. This work presents a trace-based…
Many robotic systems must follow planned paths yet pause safely and resume when people or objects intervene. We present an output-space method for systems whose tracked output can be feedback-linearized to a double integrator (e.g.,…
A long-term visual object tracking performance evaluation methodology and a benchmark are proposed. Performance measures are designed by following a long-term tracking definition to maximize the analysis probing strength. The new measures…
We propose an approach to determine the continual progression of algorithmic efficiency, as an alternative to standard calculations of time complexity, likely, but not exclusively, when dealing with data structures with unknown maximum…
