Neural System Level Synthesis: Learning over All Stabilizing Policies for Nonlinear Systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Clara Lucía Galimberti

We address the problem of designing stabilizing control policies for nonlinear systems in discrete-time, while minimizing an arbitrary cost function. When the system is linear and the cost is convex, the System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach offers an effe ...

Global bifurcation at isolated singular points of the Hadamard derivative

Charles Stuart

Consider F is an element of C(RxX,Y) such that F(lambda, 0) = 0 for all lambda is an element of R, where X and Y are Banach spaces. Bifurcation from the line Rx{0} of trivial solutions is investigated in cases where F(lambda, center dot ) need not be Frech ...

Discrete Time Analysis of Phase Detector Timing Nonidealities in Type-I Sub-Sampling PLL

Yusuf Leblebici, Duygu Kostak

The analysis of the effect of sub-sampling phase detector (SSPD) timing nonidealities on Type-I sub-sampling phase-locked loop (SSPLL) is presented. The nonidealities considered are the delay between the complementary sampling clocks and the propagation de ...

Perturbative approach to tunneling and quantum interferences in spin clusters

Frédéric Mila, Ivo Aguiar Maceira

Collective tunneling is a ubiquitous phenomenon in finite-size spin clusters that shows up in systems as diverse as molecular magnets or spin clusters adsorbed at surfaces. The basic problem we explore is to understand how small flipping terms can cooperat ...

The time-dependent expected reward and deviation matrix of a finite QBD process

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

Deriving the time-dependent expected reward function associated with a continuous-time Markov chain involves the computation of its transient deviation matrix. In this paper we focus on the special case of a finite quasi-birth-and-death (QBD) process, moti ...

Displacement Convexity in Spatially Coupled Scalar Recursions

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Rafah El-Khatib

We introduce a technique for the analysis of general spatially coupled systems that are governed by scalar recursions. Such systems can be expressed in variational form in terms of a potential function. We show, under mild conditions, that the potential fu ...

On quadratic matrix equations with infinite size coefficients encountered in QBD stochastic processes

Stefano Massei

Matrix equations of the kind A(1)X(2)+A(0)X+A(-1)=X, where both the matrix coefficients and the unknown are semi-infinite matrices belonging to a Banach algebra, are considered. These equations, where coefficients are quasi-Toeplitz matrices, are encounter ...

A Data-Driven Frequency-Domain Approach for Robust Controller Design via Convex Optimization

Achille Nicoletti

The objective of this dissertation is to develop data-driven frequency-domain methods for designing robust controllers through the use of convex optimization algorithms. Many of today's industrial processes are becoming more complex, and modeling accurate ...

Scaling description of non-local rheology

Matthieu Wyart, Jie Lin

The plastic flow of amorphous materials displays non-local effects, characterized by a cooperativity length scale xi. We argue that these effects enter in the more general description of surface phenomena near critical points. Using this approach, we obtai ...

Varicocele percutaneous embolization outcomes in a pediatric group: 7-year retrospective study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Percutaneous embolization and surgical repair are the current treatment options for varicocele, but determining method superiority remains controversial. In this retrospective study, we evaluate the technical success, complication and recurrence rates foll ...

CO2 emissions in relation to street-network configuration and city size

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

The street-network efficiency of tens of British cities in relation to transport fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are analyzed. The results show a strong linear positive correlation between length entropy and average street length, and a negative correla ...

Direct phase derivative estimation using difference equation modeling in holographic interferometry

Pramod Rastogi, Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

A new method is proposed for the direct phase derivative estimation from a single spatial frequency modulated carrier fringe pattern in holographic interferometry. The fringe intensity in a given row/column is modeled as a difference equation of intensity ...

Simultaneous estimation of phase and phase derivative using a difference equation representation of the interference field

Pramod Rastogi, Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

A computationally efficient technique for fringe analysis in digital holographic interferometry using a difference equation representation of the interference field is presented. The spatially varying coefficient of the difference equation is estimated acc ...

A Globally Convergent Algorithm for the Run-to-Run Control of Systems with Sector Nonlinearities

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François

Run-to-run control is a technique that exploits the repetitive nature of processes to iteratively adjust the inputs and drive the run-end outputs to their reference values. It can be used to control both static and finite-time dynamic systems. Although the ...

Global Stabilization of an Inverted Pendulum – Control Strategy and Experimental Verification

Dominique Bonvin

The problem of swinging up an inverted pendulum on a cart and controlling it around the upright position has traditionally been treated as two separate problems. This paper proposes a control strategy that is globally asymptotically stable under actuator s ...

Jamming in granular media : modeling of experimental data

Michel Tsukahara

This thesis studies the phenomenon of jamming in granular media, such as when a salt shaker gets clogged. We use modern instrumentation, like X-ray synchrotron tomography, to look inside real jamming experiments. High performance computers allow simulating ...
