We consider linear systems $Ax = b$ where $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ consists of normalized rows, $\|a_i\|_{\ell^2} = 1$, and where up to $\beta m$ entries of $b$ have been corrupted (possibly by arbitrarily large numbers). Haddock,…
The minimum number of inputs needed to control a network is frequently used to quantify its controllability. Control of linear dynamics through a minimum set of inputs, however, often has prohibitively large energy requirements and there is…
It is shown that a random $(0,1)$ matrix whose rows are independent random vectors of exactly $n/2$ zero components is non-singular with probability $1-O(n^{-C})$ for any $C>0$. The proof uses a non-standard inverse-type Littlewood-Offord…
Handling uncertainty in model predictive control comes with various challenges, especially when considering state constraints under uncertainty. Most methods focus on either the conservative approach of robustly accounting for uncertainty…
In a topological space, a family of continuous mappings is called universal if its action, in at least one element of the space, is dense. If the mappings are unitary or trace-preserving completely positive, the notion of universality is…
The controllability of networks comprising homogeneous multi-input multi-output linear subsystems with linear couplings among them is examined, from a modal perspective. The eigenvalues of the network model are classified into two groups:…
