In this paper we give a complementary view of some of the results on group systems by Forney and Trott. We find an encoder of a group system which has the form of a time convolution. We consider this to be a time domain encoder while the…

The purpose of this note is threefold. First we state a few conjectures that allow us to rigorously derive a theory which is asymptotic in N (the number of agents) that describes transients in large arrays of (identical) linear damped…
Controlled invariant set and viability regulation of dynamical control systems have played important roles in many control and coordination applications. In this paper we develop a temporal viability regulation theory for general dynamical…
In the paper we study the following problem: given a Hamilton-Jacobi equation where the Hamiltonian is convex with respect to the last variable, are there any optimal control problems representing it? In other words, we search for an…
Coherent wave control exploits the interference among multiple waves impinging on a system to suppress or enhance outgoing signals based on their relative phase and amplitude. This process inherently requires non-Hermiticity, in order to…
