We construct optimally robust port-Hamiltonian realizations of a given rational transfer function that represents a passive system. We show that the realization with a maximal passivity radius is a normalized port-Hamiltonian one. Its…

In this paper we approximate the radiative transfer equations by the method of moments, constructing mesoscopic approximations of arbitrary order of the otherwise microscopic system. To define the necessary closure a minimum entropy…

In this paper, the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmit beampattern matching problem is considered. The problem is formulated to approximate a desired transmit beampattern (i.e., an energy distribution in space and frequency) and…

It is well known that any port-Hamiltonian (pH) system is passive, and conversely, any minimal and stable passive system has a pH representation. Nevertheless, this equivalence is only concerned with the input-output mapping but not with…

We consider a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system in the presence of scattering objects. The MIMO transmitter and receiver, the RIS, and the scattering objects are modeled as…

In this paper, we investigate interpolatory projection framework for model reduction of descriptor systems. With a simple numerical example, we first illustrate that employing subspace conditions from the standard state space settings to…

We consider standard tracking-type, distributed elliptic optimal control problems with $L^2$ regularization, and their finite element discretization. We are investigating the $L^2$ error between the finite element approximation $u_{\varrho…

Multi-dimensional optimization is widely used in virtually all areas of modern astrophysics. However, it is often too computationally expensive to evaluate a model on-the-fly. Typically, it is solved by pre-computing a grid of models for a…

We investigate the problem of approximating the matrix function $f(A)$ by $r(A)$, with $f$ a Markov function, $r$ a rational interpolant of $f$, and $A$ a symmetric Toeplitz matrix. In a first step, we obtain a new upper bound for the…

The proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm stands as one of the most prosperous methods in the field of reinforcement learning (RL). Despite its success, the theoretical understanding of PPO remains deficient. Specifically, it is…

A method is given for solving an optimal H2 approximation problem for SISO linear time-invariant stable systems. The method, based on constructive algebra, guarantees that the global optimum is found; it does not involve any gradient-based…

We develop a regularization operator based on smoothing on a locally defined length scale. This operator is defined on $L_1$ and has approximation properties that are given by the local regularity of the function it is applied to and the…

This work investigates finite differences and the use of interpolation models to obtain approximations to the first and second derivatives of a function. Here, it is shown that if a particular set of points is used in the interpolation…

This paper deals with the H2 suboptimal output synchronization problem for heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems. Given a multi-agent system with possibly distinct agents and an associated H2 cost functional, the aim is to design output…

Imitation learning (IL) aims to mimic the behavior of an expert policy in a sequential decision-making problem given only demonstrations. In this paper, we focus on understanding the minimax statistical limits of IL in episodic Markov…

In this paper, we propose a multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) transmission strategy that is closer to the Shannon limit than the existing strategies. Different from most existing strategies which only consider uniformly distributed…

We investigate the complexity of three optimization problems in Boolean propositional logic related to information theory: Given a conjunctive formula over a set of relations, find a satisfying assignment with minimal Hamming distance to a…

We consider the piecewise linear approximation of saddle functions of the form $f(x,y)=ax^2-by^2$ under the L-infinity error norm. We show that interpolating approximations are not optimal. One can get slightly smaller errors by allowing…

Maximizing a single submodular set function subject to a cardinality constraint is a well-studied and central topic in combinatorial optimization. However, finding a set that maximizes multiple functions at the same time is much less…

We establish a well-posedness and error-estimation framework that solves Hamilton-Jacobi equations by minimizing the least-squares residual of monotone finite-difference discretizations. This approach also applies naturally to second-order…
