Decomposition based least squares estimation algorithm for non-uniformly sampled multirate systems
— In order to reduce the computational load of the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm, a decomposition based least squares algorithm is developed for non-uniformly sampled m...

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...

Event-based control using quadratic approximate value functions
Abstract— In this paper we consider several problems involving control with limited actuation and sampling rates. Event-based control has emerged as an attractive approach for ad...

Q-learning and Pontryagin's Minimum Principle
Abstract— Q-learning is a technique used to compute an optimal policy for a controlled Markov chain based on observations of the system controlled using a non-optimal policy. It ...

Piecewise-linear constrained control for timed continuous Petri nets
— Timed Continuous Petri Net (TCPN) systems are piecewise linear models with input constraints that can approximate the dynamical behavior of a class of timed discrete event syst...

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...
