We state sufficient conditions for the existence, on a given open set, of the extension, to nonlinear systems, of the Luenberger observer as it has been proposed by Kazantzis and Kravaris. We prove it is sufficient to choose the dimension…
The design of navigation observers able to simultaneously estimate the position, linear velocity and orientation of a vehicle in a three-dimensional space is crucial in many robotics and aerospace applications. This problem was mainly dealt…

This thesis studies the extension problem for higher-order fractional powers of the heat operator $H=\Delta-\partial_t$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Specifically, given $s>0$ and indicating with $[s]$ its integral part, we study the following…
In modular invariant models of flavor, observables must be modular invariant. The observables discussed so far in the literature are functions of the modulus $\tau$ and its conjugate, $\bar\tau$. We point out that certain combinations of…

We present a geometric approach to designing distributed unknown input observers (DUIOs) for linear time-invariant systems, where measurements are distributed across nodes and each node is influenced by \emph{unknown inputs} through…
We extend the adaptive regression spline model by incorporating saturation, the natural requirement that a function extend as a constant outside a certain range. We fit saturating splines to data using a convex optimization problem over a…
A time-invariant, linear, distributed observer is described for estimating the state of an $m>0$ channel, $n$-dimensional continuous-time linear system of the form $ \dot{x} = Ax,\ y_i = C_i x,\ i \in \{1,2,\cdots, m\}$. The state $x$ is…

The concept of supersymmetry developed in particle physics has been applied to various fields of modern physics. In quantum mechanics, the supersymmetric systems refer to the systems involving two supersymmetric partner Hamiltonians, whose…
The design of a globally convergent position observer for feature points from visual information is a challenging problem, especially for the case with only inertial measurements and without assumptions of uniform observability, which…
As the theory is subject to a section condition, coordinates in double field theory do not represent physical points in an injective manner. We argue that a physical point should be rather one-to-one identified with a `gauge orbit' in the…
This paper is concerned with the problem of distributed extended object tracking, which aims to collaboratively estimate the state and extension of an object by a network of nodes. In traditional tracking applications, most approaches…
This paper utilizes the recently proposed cubic observer to estimate the state of a class of nonlinear systems. The cubic observer is proposed as an alternative to linear observers for improved convergence rate and robustness. It is shown…

The multiple extension problem arises frequently in diagnostic and default inference. That is, we can often use any of a number of sets of defaults or possible hypotheses to explain observations or make Predictions. In default inference,…
