This paper deals with the backstepping design of observer-based compensators for parabolic ODE-PDE-ODE systems. The latter consist of n coupled parabolic PDEs with distinct diffusion coefficients and spatially-varying coefficients, that are…
This is the third part of four series papers, aiming at the delay compensation for the abstract linear system (A,B,C). Both the input delay and output delay are investigated. We first propose a full state feedback control to stabilize the…
This paper addresses the challenge of modeling multi-way contingency tables for matched set data with ordinal categories. Although the complete symmetry and marginal homogeneity models are well established, they may not always provide a…
For a domain $G$ in the one-point compactification $\overline{\mathbb{R}}^n = \mathbb{R}^n \cup \{ \infty\}$ of $\mathbb{R}^n, n \ge 2$, we characterize the completeness of the modulus metric $\mu_G$ in terms of a potential-theoretic…
This letter proposes a method to integrate auxiliary actuators that enhance the task space capabilities of commercial underactuated systems, leaving the internal certified low level controller untouched. The additional actuators are…
We present order reduction results for linear time invariant descriptor systems. Results are given for both forced and unforced systems as well methods for constructing the reduced order systems. Our results establish a precise connection…
Our recent study (Lin and Ohtsuka, 2024) proposed a new penalty method for solving mathematical programming with complementarity constraints (MPCC). This method first reformulates MPCC as a parameterized nonlinear programming called gap…
We study local stabilization of nonlinear control systems under explicit gain constraints on the feedback law. Using a quantitative refinement of Brockett's openness condition, we introduce the notion of a maximal continuous openness rate…
Constraining the maximum likelihood density estimator to satisfy a sufficiently strong constraint, $\log-$concavity being a common example, has the effect of restoring consistency without requiring additional parameters. Since many results…
One classic idea from the cybernetics literature is the Every Good Regulator Theorem (EGRT). The EGRT provides a means to identify good regulation, or the conditions under which an agent (regulator) can match the dynamical behavior of a…
Machine learning models must continuously self-adjust themselves for novel data distribution in the open world. As the predominant principle, entropy minimization (EM) has been proven to be a simple yet effective cornerstone in existing…
Composite adaptive control (CAC) that integrates direct and indirect adaptive control techniques can achieve smaller tracking errors and faster parameter convergence compared with direct and indirect adaptive control techniques. However,…
We present a unifying framework to study physical systems which exhibit topological quantum order (TQO). The guiding principle behind our approach is that of symmetries and entanglement. We introduce the concept of low-dimensional…
It is expected that conformal symmetry is an emergent property of many systems at their critical point. This imposes strong constraints on the critical behavior of a given system. Taking them into account in theoretical approaches can lead…
The applications of reference governors to systems with unmeasured set-bounded disturbances can lead to conservative solutions. This conservatism can be reduced by estimating the disturbance from output measurements and canceling it in the…
The design and structure of generalized predictive control (GPC) are not simple and intuitive. The performance analysis does not deeply analyze how the controller parameters affect the system characteristics and the relationship between the…
We prove the existence of low energy excitations in insulating systems at general filling factor under certain conditions, and discuss in which cases these may be identified as topological excitations. This proof is based on previously…
In this workshop, we present a compact but rigorous introduction to second-order optimality conditions for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs). We start from the classical nonlinear programming template, then explain…
In this article I investigate the phenomenon of minimum models of second-order set theories, focusing on Kelley--Morse set theory $\mathsf{KM}$, G\"odel--Bernays set theory $\mathsf{GB}$, and $\mathsf{GB}$ augmented with the principle of…
We generalize the successive continuation paradigm introduced by Kern\'evez and Doedel [16] for locating locally optimal solutions of constrained optimization problems to the case of simultaneous equality and inequality constraints. The…
