Combinatorial Hopf algebra for interconnected nonlinear systems

Optimization and Control 2019-04-09 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

A detailed expose of the Hopf algebra approach to interconnected input-output systems in nonlinear control theory is presented. The focus is on input-output systems that can been represented in terms of Chen-Fliess functional expansions or Fliess operators. This provides a starting point for a discrete-time version of this theory. In particular, the notion of a discrete-time Fliess operator is given and a class of parallel interconnections is described.
