Representation-based classification methods such as sparse representation-based classification (SRC) and linear regression classification (LRC) have attracted a lot of attentions. In order to obtain the better representation, a novel method…
Predictive recursion (PR) is a fast, recursive algorithm that gives a smooth estimate of the mixing distribution under the general mixture model. However, the PR algorithm requires evaluation of a normalizing constant at each iteration.…
This paper is devoted to the study of unparameterized simple curves in the plane. We propose diverse canonical parameterizations of a 2D-curve. For instance, the arc-length parameterization is canonical, but we consider other natural…
This article describes an approach for parametrizing input and state trajectories in model predictive control. The parametrization is designed to be invariant to time shifts, which enables warm-starting the successive optimization problems…
We study the synchronization behavior of a noisy network in which each system is driven by two sources of state-dependent noise: (1) an intrinsic noise which is common among all systems and can be generated by the environment or any…
Planar curves with periodically varying curvature arise in the natural sciences as the result of a wide variety of periodic processes. The total curvature of a periodic arc in such curves constrains their symmetry. It is shown how the total…
The objective of this paper is to derive the essential invariance and contraction properties for the geometric periodic systems, which can be formulated as a category of differential inclusions, and primarily rendered in the phase…

The Pairwise Markov Chain (PMC) is a probabilistic graphical model extending the well-known Hidden Markov Model. This model, although highly effective for many tasks, has been scarcely utilized for continuous value prediction. This is…
Many problems on signal processing reduce to nonparametric function estimation. We propose a new methodology, piecewise convex fitting (PCF), and give a two-stage adaptive estimate. In the first stage, the number and location of the change…
Engineered systems naturally experience large disturbances that can disrupt desired operation because the system may fail to recover to a stable equilibrium point. It is valuable to determine the mechanism of instability when the system is…
This paper investigates stochastic invariance for control systems through probabilistic controlled invariant sets (PCISs). As a natural complement to robust controlled invariant sets~(RCISs), we propose finite- and infinite-horizon PCISs,…
Modelling a large bundle of curves arises in a broad spectrum of real applications. However, existing literature relies primarily on the critical assumption of independent curve observations. In this paper, we provide a general theory for…
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a method to control nonlinear systems with guaranteed stability and constraint satisfaction but suffers from high computation times. Approximate MPC (AMPC) with neural networks (NNs) has emerged to address…
In statistical physics, phase transitions are arguably among the most extensively studied phenomena. In the computational approach to this field, the development of algorithms capable of estimating entropy across the entire energy spectrum…
Oscillator fluctuations are described as the phase or frequency noise spectrum, or in terms of a wavelet variance as a function of the measurement time. The spectrum is generally approximated by the `power law,' i.e., a Laurent polynomial…
When modeling multivariate data, one might have an extra parameter of contextual information that could be used to treat some observations as more similar to others. For example, images of faces can vary by age, and one would expect the…
In this paper, a new estimation method is introduced for the quantile spectrum, which uses a parametric form of the autoregressive (AR) spectrum coupled with nonparametric smoothing. The method begins with quantile periodograms which are…
We describe a framework for random pairwise comparisons matrices, inspired by selected constructions releted to the so called inconsistency reduction of pairwise comparisons (PC) matrices. In to build up structures on random pairwise…
Physical models of biological systems can become difficult to interpret when they have a large number of parameters. But the models themselves actually depend on (i.e. are sensitive to) only a subset of those parameters. Rigorously…
