Dynamical systems can confront one of two extreme types of disturbances: persistent zero-mean independent noise, and sparse nonzero-mean adversarial attacks, depending on the specific scenario being modeled. While mean-based estimators like…

Stability perserving is an important topic in approximation of systems, e.g.\ model reduction. If the original system is stable, we often want the approximation to be stable. But even if an algorithm preserves stability the resulting system…
