In this paper, we study networks of discrete-time linear time-invariant subsystems. Our focus is on situations where subsystems are connected to each other through a time-invariant topology and where there exists a base-station whose aim is…
We consider the distance from a (square or rectangular) matrix pencil to the nearest matrix pencil in 2-norm that has a set of specified eigenvalues. We derive a singular value optimization characterization for this problem and illustrate…

We consider reachability in dynamical systems with discrete linear updates, but with fixed digital precision, i.e., such that values of the system are rounded at each step. Given a matrix $M \in \mathbb{Q}^{d \times d}$, an initial vector…
Vector Addition Systems (VAS), aka Petri nets, are a popular model of concurrency. The reachability set of a VAS is the set of configurations reachable from the initial configuration. Leroux has studied the geometric properties of VAS…

In this study, we explore the substructures of a hypergraph that lead us to linearly dependent rows (or columns) in the incidence matrix of the hypergraph. These substructures are closely related to the spectra of various hypergraph…
In an open-loop experiment, an input sequence is applied to an unknown linear time-invariant system (in continuous or discrete time) affected also by an unknown-but-bounded disturbance sequence (with an energy or instantaneous bound); the…
