The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has become a standard methodology for state estimation in high-dimensional systems, yet its various stochastic and deterministic formulations often appear conceptually disconnected. In this paper, a unified…
We present an explicit solution to the discrete-time Bellman equation for minimax optimal control of positive systems under unconstrained disturbances. The primary contribution of our result relies on deducing a bound for the disturbance…

The quantum harmonic oscillator is one of the most fundamental objects in physics. We consider the case where it is extended to an arbitrary number modes and includes all possible terms that are bilinear in the annihilation and creation…
Quantum phenomena of interest in connection with applications to computation and communication almost always involve generating specific transfers between eigenstates, and their linear superpositions. For some quantum systems, such as spin…
We study a multi-agent output regulation problem, where not all agents have access to the exosystem's dynamics. We propose a distributed controller that solves the problem for linear, heterogeneous, and uncertain agent dynamics as well as…

In a recent article, we presented a framework to control nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) by means of Koopman operator based reduced models and concepts from switched systems. The main idea was to transform a control system…
For quantum systems with linear dynamics in phase space much of classical feedback control theory applies. However, there are some questions that are sensible only for the quantum case, such as: given a fixed interaction between the system…
DY Gao together with some of his collaborators applied his Canonical duality theory (CDT) for solving a class of constrained optimization problems. Unfortunately, in several papers on this subject there are unclear statements, not…
It is well known that a system, S, weakly coupled to a heat bath, B, is described by the canonical ensemble when the composite, S+B, is described by the microcanonical ensemble corresponding to a suitable energy shell. This is true both for…
To achieve control objectives for extremely large-scale complex networks using standard methods is essentially intractable. In this work a theory of the approximate control of complex network systems is proposed and developed by the use of…
This paper is concerned with constructing an optimal controller in the coherent quantum Linear Quadratic Gaussian problem. A coherent quantum controller is itself a quantum system and is required to be physically realizable. The use of…
The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), which is arguably the most classical problem in control theory, was recently related to kernel methods in (Aubin-Frankowski, SICON, 2021) for finite dimensional systems. We show that this result extends…
Determining the distance between a controllable system to the set of uncontrollable systems, namely, the controllability radius problem, has been extensively studied in the past. However, the opposite direction, that is, determining the…
We consider a stochastic control problem with the assumption that the system is controlled until the state process breaks the fixed barrier. Assuming some general conditions, it is proved that the resulting Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equations…
