We study discrete time linear constrained switching systems with additive disturbances, in which the switching may be on the system matrices, the disturbance sets, the state constraint sets or a combination of the above. In our general…
This note studies the exponential convergence of input-output signals of discrete-time nonlinear systems composed of a feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant system and a nonlinear uncertainty. Both the open-loop subsystems are…
We study hidden-variable models from quantum mechanics, and their abstractions in purely probabilistic and relational frameworks, by means of logics of dependence and independence, based on team semantics. We show that common desirable…
Let $G$ be a connected semisimple simply connected Lie group with a compact Cartan subgroup and let $\Gamma$ be a uniform lattice in $G$. Let $\widehat{G}_d$ denote the set of equivalence classes of unitary discrete series representations…
Let X be a coherent configuration associated with a transitive group G. In terms of the intersection numbers of X, a necessary condition for the point stabilizer of G to be a TI-subgroup, is established. Furthermore, under this condition, X…
It is first shown that a smooth controllable system on a compact manifold is finite time controllable. The technique of proof is close to the one of Sussmann's orbit theorem, and no rank condition is required. This technique is also used to…
We introduce general results on well-posedness and output regulation of regular linear systems with nonautonomous controllers. We present a generalization of the internal model principle for time-dependent controllers with asymptotically…
For a nonautonomous linear system with nonuniform contraction, we construct a topological equivalence between this system and an unbounded nonlinear perturbation. This topological equivalence is constructed as a composition of…
This is the second in a series of papers about torsion-free groups which act properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) metric space with isolated flats and relatively thin triangles. Our approach is to adapt the methods of Sela and others for…
This paper is motivated by the problem of asymptotically stabilizing invariant sets in the state space of control systems by means of output feedback. The sets considered are smooth embedded in submanifolds and the class of system is…
Current theories of massless free particle assume {\sl unitary} space inversion and {\sl anti-unitary} time reversal operators. In so doing robust classes of possible theories are discarded. In the present work theories of massless systems…
This work concerns finite free complexes over commutative noetherian rings, in particular over group algebras of elementary abelian groups. The main contribution is the construction of complexes such that the total rank of their underlying…
We investigate the finite-dimensional Lie groups whose points are separated by the continuous homomorphisms into groups of invertible elements of locally convex algebras with continuous inversion that satisfy an appropriate completeness…
We say that a subset $S\subseteq F_N$ is \emph{spectrally rigid} if whenever $T_1, T_2\in cv_N$ are points of the (unprojectivized) Outer space such that $||g||_{T_1}=||g||_{T_2}$ for every $g\in S$ then $T_1=T_2$ in $\cvn$. It is…
Let $G$ be the fundamental group of a three-manifold. By piecing together many known facts about three manifold groups, we establish two properties of the group ring $\mathbb{C}G$. We show that if $G$ has rational cohomological dimension…
For a tree $T$, let $i_T(t)$ be the number of independent sets of size $t$ in $T$. It is an open question, raised by Alavi, Malde, Schwenk and Erd\H{o}s, whether the sequence $(i_T(t))_{t \geq 0}$ is always unimodal. Here we answer the…
There are known to be integrable Sutherland models associated to every real root system -- or, which is almost equivalent, to every real reflection group. Real reflection groups are special cases of complex reflection groups. In this paper…
Consider any sequence of finite groups $A^t$, where $t$ takes values in an integer index set $\mathbf{Z}$. A group system $A$ is a set of sequences with components in $A^t$ that forms a group under componentwise addition in $A^t$, for each…
In this paper we study the main properties of control sets with nonempty interior of linear control systems on semisimple Lie groups. We show that, unlike the solvable case, linear control systems on semisimple Lie groups may have more than…
In this paper we first study the fixed-time stabilizability of discrete-time switched linear control systems. Using a geometric approach, we derive conditions under which such systems can be stabilized within a prescribed number of steps,…
