We introduce a novel choice dataset, called joint choice, in which options and menus are multidimensional. In this general setting, we define a notion of choice separability, which requires that selections from some dimensions are never…
A popular framework for false discovery control is the random effects model in which the null hypotheses are assumed to be independent. This paper generalizes the random effects model to a conditional dependence model which allows…
Dual control addresses the trade-off between exploitation and exploration, where control inputs both regulate the system and generate informative data for estimation and identification. For certain problem classes, control and estimation…
A general model of decentralized stochastic control called partial history sharing information structure is presented. In this model, at each step the controllers share part of their observation and control history with each other. This…
An approach to stabilization of control systems with ultimately wide ranges of uncertainly disturbed parameters is offered. The method relies on using of nonlinear structurally stable functions from catastrophe theory as controllers.…
This paper investigates the problem of functional state estimation for linear time-delay systems in which the delay affecting the state evolution differs from the delay affecting the output measurements. While existing observer designs…
This paper investigates a conditional mean-field type linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with partial observation and regime switching, where the conditional expectations of the state and control given the history of Markov chain…
One approach to robust control for linear plants with structured uncertainty as well as for linear parameter-varying (LPV) plants (where the controller has on-line access to the varying plant parameters) is through…
Distinguishability and, by extension, observability are key properties of dynamical systems. Establishing these properties is challenging, especially when no analytical model is available and they are to be inferred directly from…
This paper introduces the concept of a synchronous model as an extension of the internal model concept used in observer design for dynamical systems. A system is said to contain a synchronous model of another if there is a suitable error…
In this paper we propose a model predictive control scheme for constrained fractional-order discrete-time systems. We prove that all constraints are satisfied at all time instants and we prescribe conditions for the origin to be an…
Model-Free Control (MFC) has been applied to a wide variety of systems in which it has shown its performance. MFC offers "model-free operation", but the controller design requires some information from the nominal plant. This paper…
This paper is devoted to the study of controllability of linear systems on generalized Heisenberg groups. Some general necessary controllability conditions and some sufficient ones are provided. We introduce the notion of decoupled systems,…
Conformal prediction is a general distribution-free approach for constructing prediction sets combined with any machine learning algorithm that achieve valid marginal or conditional coverage in finite samples. Ordinal classification is…

A feedback controller is proposed to perform output reference tracking with prescribed performance for nonlinear continuous-time systems of relative degree two. The controller is of sampled-data type, i.e., measurements are available only…
A typical approach to tackle stochastic control problems with partial observation is to separate the control and estimation tasks. However, it is well known that this separation generally fails to deliver an actual optimal solution for…
Stabilization of a coupled system consisting of a parabolic partial differential equation and an elliptic partial differential equation is considered. Even in the situation when the parabolic equation is exponentially stable on its own, the…
This paper addresses questions regarding controllability for `generic parameter' dynamical systems, i.e. the question whether a dynamical system is `structurally controllable'. Unlike conventional methods that deal with structural…
Current state-of-the-art correct-by-design controllers are designed for full-state measurable systems. This work first extends the applicability of correct-by-design controllers to partially observable LTI systems. Leveraging 2nd order…
