Classic control techniques typically rely on a model of the system's response to external inputs, which is difficult to obtain from first principles especially if the unknown dynamics are nonlinear. In this paper, we address this issue by…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a universal concept throughout science. For instance, the Landau-Ginzburg paradigm of translational symmetry breaking underlies the classification of nearly all quantum phases of matter and explains the…

In many plasma systems, introducing a small background shear flow is enough to stabilize the system linearly. The nonlinear dynamics are much less sensitive to sheared flows than the average linear growthrates, and very small amplitude…

We study the formation of stationary localized states using the discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation in a Cayley tree with connectivity $K$. Two cases, namely, a dimeric power law nonlinear impurity and a fully nonlinear system are…

We develop a semi-parametric state-space model for time-series data with latent regime transitions. Classical Markov-switching models use fixed parametric transition functions, such as logistic or probit links, which restrict flexibility…
