A fundamental concept in control theory is that of controllability, where any system state can be reached through an appropriate choice of control inputs. Indeed, a large body of classical and modern approaches are designed for controllable…
We consider the decidability of state-to-state reachability in linear time-invariant control systems over discrete time. We analyse this problem with respect to the allowable control sets, which in general are assumed to be defined by…
Safety-critical cyber-physical systems require control strategies whose worst-case performance is robust against adversarial disturbances and modeling uncertainties. In this paper, we present a framework for approximate control and learning…
By operations on models we show how to relate completeness with respect to permissive-nominal models to completeness with respect to nominal models with finite support. Models with finite support are a special case of permissive-nominal…
We consider robust discrete minimization problems where uncertainty is defined by a convex set in the objective. We show how an integrality gap verifier for the linear programming relaxation of the non-robust version of the problem can be…
This paper is concerned with the analysis of the $L_p\ (p\in[1,\infty), p=\infty)$ induced norms of continuous-time linear systems where input signals are restricted to be nonnegative. This norm is referred to as the $L_{p+}$ induced norm…
This paper studies reachability and null-controllability for difference inclusions involving convex processes. Such difference inclusions arise, for instance, in the study of linear discrete-time systems whose inputs and/or states are…
The optimal time for the controllability of linear hyperbolic systems in one dimensional space with one-side controls has been obtained recently for time-independent coefficients in our previous works. In this paper, we consider linear…
We study the problem of adaptive control of the linear quadratic regulator for systems in very high, or even infinite dimension. We demonstrate that while sublinear regret requires finite dimensional inputs, the ambient state dimension of…
The staircase model is a recently discovered one-parameter family of integrable two-dimensional continuum field theories. We analyze the novel critical behavior of this model, seen as a perturbation of a minimal conformal theory M_p: the…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open interval, and let $p>1$ and $q\in\left(0,p-1\right) $. Let $m\in L^{p^{\prime}}\left(\Omega\right) $ and $0\leq c\in L^{\infty}\left(\Omega\right) $. We study existence of strictly positive solutions for…
This paper offers a critical view of the "worst-case" approach that is the cornerstone of robust control design. It is our contention that a blind acceptance of worst-case scenarios may lead to designs that are actually more dangerous than…
In this paper we introduce the concept of infinite pointwise dense lineability (spaceability), and provide a criterion to obtain density from mere lineability. As an application, we study the linear and topological structures within the set…
We reduce the boundedness of operators in Morrey spaces $L_p^r({\mathbb R}^n)$, its preduals, $H^{\varrho}L_p ({\mathbb R}^n)$, and their preduals $\overset{\circ}{L}{}^r_p({\mathbb R}^n)$ to the boundedness of the appropriate operators in…
Symmetric spaces arise in wide variety of problems in Mathematics and Physics. They are mostly studied in Representation theory, Harmonic analysis and Differential geometry. As many physical systems have symmetric spaces as their…
In this paper, we examine the fundamental performance limitations in the control of stochastic dynamical systems; more specifically, we derive generic $\mathcal{L}_p$ bounds that hold for any causal (stabilizing) controllers and any…
We study the approximation of $L_p$-functions, $p\in (0,\infty]$, on cylindrical space-time domains $\Omega_T:=[0,T]\times \Omega$, $0<T<\infty$, $\Omega\subset \R^d$ Lipschitz, $d\in \mathbb{N}$, with respect to continuous anisotropic…
We study the dissipativity of linear infinite-dimensional systems with respect to a prescribed quadratic supply rate functional. We characterize this property via an operator inequality that also yields the system's dissipation rate. We…
This work develops algorithms for non-parametric confidence regions for samples from a univariate distribution whose support is a discrete mesh bounded on the left. We generalize the theory of Learned-Miller to preorders over the sample…
