A static non-linear homogeneous feedback for a fixed-time stabilization of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system is designed in such a way that the settling time is assigned exactly to a prescribed constant for all nonzero initial…

Shot noise at a conductance plateau in a quantum point contact (QPC) can be explained by considering equilibrations at the quantum Hall edges. The indication from recent experiments is that the charge equilibration length is much shorter…

The complexity of embedded application design is increasing with growing user demands. In particular, automotive embedded systems are highly complex in nature, and their functionality is realized by a set of periodic tasks. These tasks may…

The post-contingency loadability limit (PCLL) and the secure operating limit (SOL) are the two main approaches used in computing the security margins of an electric power system. While the SOL is significantly more computationally demanding…

The fairness-accuracy trade-off is a key challenge in NLP tasks. Current work focuses on finding a single "optimal" solution to balance the two objectives, which is limited considering the diverse solutions on the Pareto front. This work…

A challenge in designing self-assembling building blocks is to ensure the target state is both thermodynamically stable and kinetically accessible. These two objectives are known to be typically in competition, but it is not known how to…

This paper deals with the convergence time analysis of a class of fixed-time stable systems with the aim to provide a new non-conservative upper bound for its settling time. Our contribution is fourfold. First, we revisit the well-known…

Oscillatory systems with time-delayed pulsatile feedback appear in various applied and theoretical research areas, and received a growing interest in the last years. For such systems, we report a remarkable scenario of destabilization of a…

The stabilization of uncertain LTI/LPV time delay systems with time varying delays by state-feedback controllers is addressed. At the difference of other works in the literature, the proposed approach allows for the synthesis of resilient…

Efficient simulation of the timing jitter in passively mode-locking lasers is key to their numerical investigation and optimization. We introduce a method based on the pulse-period fluctuation auto-correlation function and compare it…

As LLMs occupy an increasingly important role in society, they are more and more confronted with questions that require them not only to draw on their general knowledge but also to align with certain human value systems. Therefore, studying…

Currently, the demand for a better alternative to linear PID controllers is increasing due to the rising expectations of the high-tech industry. In literature, it has been shown that Constant in gain Lead in phase (CgLp) compensators, which…

From a thermodynamic point of view, all clocks are driven by irreversible processes. Additionally, one can use oscillatory systems to temporally modulate the thermodynamic flux towards equilibrium. Focusing on the most elementary…

Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) and Timed Propositional Temporal Logic (TPTL) extend Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) for real-time constraints, with MTL using time-bounded modalities and TPTL employing freeze quantifiers. Satisfiability for both is…

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) monitoring, in which automated systems monitor the CoT of an LLM, is a promising approach for effectively overseeing AI systems. However, the extent to which a model's CoT helps us oversee the model - the…

The main limitation in order to exploit spin torque nano-oscillators (STNOs) in various potential applications is their large phase noise. In this work, we demonstrate its efficient reduction by a highly reconfigurable, compact,…

In Online Learning to Rank (OLTR) the aim is to find an optimal ranking model by interacting with users. When learning from user behavior, systems must interact with users while simultaneously learning from those interactions. Unlike other…

Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) exhibit limitations such as generating unsafe responses, unreliable reasoning, etc. Existing inference intervention approaches attempt to mitigate these issues by finetuning additional models…

In this paper, we derive a number of inequalities which express power-efficiency trade-offs that hold generally for thermodynamic machines operating in non-equilibrium stationary states. One of these inequalities concerns the output power,…

The Logical Execution Time (LET) programming model has recently received considerable attention, particularly because of its timing and dataflow determinism. In LET, task computation appears always to take the same amount of time (called…
