When multiplicative noise stymies control

We consider the stabilization of an unstable discrete-time linear system that is observed over a channel corrupted by continuous multiplicative noise. Our main result shows that if the system growth is large enough, then the system cannot be stabilized in a secondmoment sense. This is done by showing that the probability that the state magnitude remains bounded must go to zero with time. Our pr...

" We accept that this is a priority area, but since you are already underspending, we don't believe they'll be able to spend more of it, " an official said. " It is unhelpful and unfortunate that the commission should choose to single out one country when, as presidency, we are representing the whole council and this is a...

Mid‐2000s North Atlantic shift: Heat budget and circulation changes

Prior to the 2000s, the North Atlantic was the basin showing the greatest warming. However, since the mid-2000s during the so-called global warming hiatus, large amounts of heat were transferred in this basin from upper to deeper levels while the dominance in terms of atmospheric heat capture moved into the Indo-Pacific. Here we show that a large transformation of modal waters in the eastern No...
