The monotonicity of the Mittag-Leffler function $E_{\alpha}$ with respect to the parameter $\alpha$ is investigated, via some convex ordering properties for related random variables. In particular, it is shown that the mapping…
The theory of controlled mechanical systems of [6, 3, 4] is extended to the case of ideal incompressible fluids consisting of charged particles in the presence of an external magnetic field. The resulting control is of feedback type and…
When a chaotic system is to be stabilized to a unstable orbit, delayed measurement of the system limits the applicability of chaos control techniqes. These limitations are analyzed and control schemes as linear predictive logging control…
This paper studies maximisation of an average-cost-per-unit-time ergodic functional over impulse strategies controlling a Feller-Markov process. The uncontrolled process is assumed to be ergodic but, unlike the extant literature, the…
Nowhere dense classes of graphs are classes of sparse graphs with rich structural and algorithmic properties, however, they fail to capture even simple classes of dense graphs. Monadically stable classes, originating from model theory,…
For any C1 diffeomorphism with dominated splitting we consider a nonempty set of invariant measures which describes the asymptotic statistics of Lebesgue-almost all orbits. They are the limits of convergent subsequences of averages of the…
Mean field optimal control problems are a class of optimization problems that arise from optimal control when applied to the many body setting. In the noisy case one has a set of controllable stochastic processes and a cost function that is…
Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…
We consider the approximate control of solitons in generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations. By introducing a suitable internal bilinear control on the equation, we prove that any soliton is locally null controllable, and moreover, any…
Monotonic convergence is established for a general class of multiplicative algorithms introduced by Silvey, Titterington and Torsney [Comm. Statist. Theory Methods 14 (1978) 1379--1389] for computing optimal designs. A conjecture of…
Let $\Delta$ be the Dirichlet Laplacian on the interval $(0,\pi)$. The null controllability properties of the equation $$u_{tt}+\Delta^2 u+\rho (\Delta)^\alpha u_t=F(x,t)$$ are studied. Let $T>0$, and assume initial conditions $(u^0,u^1)\in…
We study sub-semigroups of the semigroup of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$ and monotone additive statistics on them, by which we mean maps to the reals that are monotone with respect to the stochastic order and additive under…
In this paper we address the question how the control of delayed measured chaotic systems can be improved. Both unmodified OGY control and difference control can be successfully applied only for a certain range of Lyapunov numbers depending…
A system is called positive if the set of non-negative states is left invariant by the dynamics. Stability analysis and controller optimization are greatly simplified for such systems. For example, linear Lyapunov functions and storage…
In \cite{Mil}, Milnor posed the {\em Monotonicity Conjecture} that the set of parameters within a family of real multimodal polynomial interval maps, for which the topological entropy is constant, is connected. This conjecture was proved…
We investigate second order additive invariants in elementary cellular automata rules. Fundamental diagrams of rules which possess additive invariants are either linear or exhibit singularities similar to singularities of rules with…
Under proper scaling and distributional assumptions, we prove the convergence in the Skorokhod space endowed with the M_1-topology of a sequence of stochastic integrals of a deterministic function driven by a time-changed symmetric…
Motivated by Bourgain's work on pointwise ergodic theorems, and the work of Stein and Stein-Wainger on maximally modulated singular integrals without linear terms, we prove that the maximally monomially modulated discrete Hilbert transform,…
For homogeneous bilinear control systems, the control sets are characterized using a Lie algebra rank condition for the induced systems on projective space. This is based on a classical Diophantine approximation result. For affine control…
We consider the entropy of sums of independent discrete random variables, in analogy with Shannon's Entropy Power Inequality, where equality holds for normals. In our case, infinite divisibility suggests that equality should hold for…
