We propose a novel polyhedral uncertainty set for robust optimization, termed the smooth uncertainty set, which captures dependencies of uncertain parameters by constraining their pairwise differences. The bounds on these differences may be…

In this paper, we mainly establish the uncertainty principle (UP) for a function and its quaternion Fractional Fourier transform (QFrFT), as well as the UP for two QFrFTs. Using the polar representation of quaternion-valued signals, we give…

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle implies that if one party (Alice) prepares a system and randomly measures one of two incompatible observables, then another party (Bob) cannot perfectly predict the measurement outcomes. This implication…
