Kinetic perturbations as robustness analysis tool for biochemical reaction networks
— Models of biochemical reaction networks can be decomposed into a stoichiometric part and a kinetic part. The stoichiometric part describes the structural mass flows while the ...

Risk sensitive robust support vector machines
— We propose a new family of classification algorithms in the spirit of support vector machines, that builds in non-conservative protection to noise and controls overfitting. O...

Stability of switched linear systems and the convergence of random products
— In this paper we give conditions that a discrete time switched linear systems must satisfy if it is stable. We do this by calculating the mean and covariance of the set of matr...
