This paper aims at obtaining universal laws and absolute lower bounds of feedback systems using information theory. The feedback system setup is that with causal plants and causal controllers. Three laws (entropy rate never decreases,…

We introduce a novel notion of invariance feedback entropy to quantify the state information that is required by any controller that enforces a given subset of the state space to be invariant. We establish a number of elementary properties,…

This paper aims at obtaining performance limitations of state estimation in terms of variance minimization (minimum variance estimation and filtering) using information theory. Two new notions, negentropy rate and Gaussianity-whiteness…

This paper presents a technique for designing output feedback controllers for constrained linear parameter-varying systems that are subject to persistent disturbances. Specifically, we develop an incremental parameter-varying output…

For a closed-loop control system with a digital channel between the sensor and the controller, the notion of invariance entropy quantifies the smallest average rate of information transmission above which a given compact subset of the state…

In this paper, we utilize information theory to study the fundamental performance limitations of generic feedback systems, where both the controller and the plant may be any causal functions/mappings while the disturbance can be with any…

The principle of maximum entropy is a broadly applicable technique for computing a distribution with the least amount of information possible while constrained to match empirically estimated feature expectations. However, in many real-world…

Feedback optimization has emerged as a promising approach for regulating dynamical systems to optimal steady states that are implicitly defined by underlying optimization problems. Despite their effectiveness, existing methods face two key…

Von Neumann entropy (VNE) is a fundamental quantity in quantum information theory and has recently been adopted in machine learning as a spectral measure of diversity for kernel matrices and kernel covariance operators. While maximizing VNE…

Fluctuation theorems and the second law of thermodynamics are powerful relations constraining the behavior of out-of-equilibrium systems. While there exist generalizations of these relations to feedback controlled quantum systems, their…

This paper exhibits the closed-loop design constraints using the non-analytic function theory. First, the paper generalizes the sensitivity integral for linear feedback systems with the non-analytic sensitivity function. Sensitivity…

We consider overdamped physical systems evolving under a feedback-controlled fluctuating potential and in contact with a thermal bath at temperature $T$. A Markovian description of the dynamics, which keeps only the last value of the…

This note studies the robust output feedback stabilization problem of a class of multi-input multi-output invertible nonlinear systems, for which an "ideal" state feedback based on feedback linearization can be designed under certain mild…

Any system that models the world under finite representational capacity must compress; any compression entails a prior; and the prior is the system's bias. What has not been established is whether uncertainty participates in the dynamics…

We present an extension of Willems' Fundamental Lemma to the class of multi-input multi-output discrete-time feedback linearizable nonlinear systems, thus providing a data-based representation of their input-output trajectories. Two sources…

We examine robust output feedback control of discrete-time nonlinear systems with bounded uncertainties affecting the dynamics and measurements. Specifically, we demonstrate how to construct semi-infinite programs that produce gains to…

We extend the notion of estimation entropy of autonomous dynamical systems proposed by Liberzon and Mitra [1] to nonlinear dynamical systems with uncertain inputs with bounded variation. We call this new notion the {$\epsilon$}-estimation…

A novel principle is presented which allows for the proof of bounded weak solutions to a class of physically relevant, strongly coupled parabolic systems exhibiting a formal gradient-flow structure. The main feature of these systems is that…

This note studies the exponential convergence of input-output signals of discrete-time nonlinear systems composed of a feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant system and a nonlinear uncertainty. Both the open-loop subsystems are…

This paper proposes a novel control framework for handling (potentially coupled) multiple time-varying output constraints for uncertain nonlinear systems. First, it is shown that the satisfaction of multiple output constraints boils down to…
