This paper is concerned with the following problem: given an upper bound of the state-space dimension and lag of a linear time-invariant system, design a sequence of inputs so that the system dynamics can be recovered from the resulting…
The paper extends core results of behavioral systems theory from linear to affine time-invariant systems. We characterize the behavior of affine time-invariant systems via kernel, input-output, state-space, and finite-horizon data-driven…

This paper presents a unifying theory of Linear second order systems that allows time-varying and time invariant systems to be treated in the same way for the first time. In the process, a transformation is given that diagonalizes an…
We consider a class of systems over finite alphabets with linear internal dynamics, finite-valued control inputs and finitely quantized outputs. We motivate the need for a new notion of observability and propose three new notions of output…
Identifying a linear system model from data has wide applications in control theory. The existing work on finite sample analysis for linear system identification typically uses data from a single system trajectory under i.i.d random inputs,…
Based on the Fundamental Lemma by Willems et al., the entire behaviour of a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system can be characterised by a single data sequence of the system as long the input is persistently exciting. This is an essential…
In this article, we introduce the notion of differential flatness by pure prolongation: loosely speaking, a system admits this property if, and only if, there exists a pure prolongation of finite order such that the prolonged system is…
Time-dependently driven stochastic systems form a vast and manifold class of non-equilibrium systems used to model important applications on small length scales such as bit erasure protocols or microscopic heat engines. One property that…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate system identification for single-input-single-output general (active or passive) quantum linear systems. For a given input we address the following questions: (1) Which parameters can be…
A common problem to all applications of linear finite dynamical systems is analyzing the dynamics without enumerating every possible state transition. Of particular interest is the long term dynamical behaviour. In this paper, we study the…
The paper studies the output-feedback synchronization problem for a network of identical, linear time-invariant systems. A criterion to test network synchronization is derived and the class of output-feedback synchronizable systems is…
Physical systems with many degrees of freedom can often be understood in terms of transitions between a small number of metastable states. For time-homogeneous systems with short-term memory these transitions are fully characterized by a…
In this paper we establish that every (deterministic) non-autonomous, discrete-time, causal, time invariant system has a state-space representation, and discuss its minimality.
We consider linear time invariant systems with exogenous stochastic disturbances, and in feedback with structured stochastic uncertainties. This setting encompasses linear systems with both additive and multiplicative noise. Our concern is…
We consider the effect of parametric uncertainty on properties of Linear Time Invariant systems. Traditional approaches to this problem determine the worst-case gains of the system over the uncertainty set. Whilst such approaches are…
This paper considers the problem of system identification for linear time varying systems. We propose a new system realization approach that uses an "information-state" as the state vector, where the "information-state" is composed of a…
The system identification problem is to estimate dynamical parameters from the output data, obtained by performing measurements on the output fields. We investigate system identification for quantum linear systems. Our main objectives are…
Willems et al. showed that all input-output trajectories of a discrete-time linear time-invariant system can be obtained using linear combinations of time shifts of a single, persistently exciting, input-output trajectory of that system. In…
