6 Partial Observers
نویسنده
چکیده
We attempt to dissolve the measurement problem using a quasi-anthropic principle which allows us to invoke rational observers. We argue that the key feature of such observers is that they are rational (we need not care whether they are ‘classical’ or ‘macroscopic’ for example) and thus, since quantum theory can be expressed as a rational theory of probabilistic inference, the measurement problem is not a problem.

Partial State and InputObservers for Linear Systemswith Unknown Inputs !
In this paper, we consider the problem of constructing partial state and input observers for linear systems with unknown inputs. Specifically, we develop a design procedure that characterizes the set of all linear functions of the states and inputs that can be reconstructed through a linear observer. Our design procedure directly produces the corresponding observer parameters, and also encompas...
متن کاملCaratheodory dimension for observers
In this essay we introduce and study the notion of dimension for observers via Caratheodory structures and relative probability measures. We show that the dimension as a three variables function is an increasing function on observers, and decreasing function on the cuts of an observer. We find observers with arbitrary non-negative dimensions. We show that Caratheodory dimension for obs...
متن کاملPartial-order reduction of observers for linear systems
Abstract: Full-state observers for linear systems use available measurements for the estimation of the entire state of a system. Reduced-order observers instead deliver an estimate only in the unmeasured state subspace while the state values in the measured subspace are taken directly from the measurements. This paper presents a combination of both types of observers which directly uses only pa...
متن کاملPartial Network Synchronization Using Diï¿1⁄2ffusive Dynamic Couplings
Partial network synchronization is studied for a class of nonlinear oscillators interconnected through diffusive dynamic couplings. We construct diffusive dynamic couplings combining nonlinear observers and output feedback controllers. Sufficient conditions on the systems to be interconnected, on the network topology, on the observer dynamics, and on the coupling strength that guarantee (global...
متن کاملThe role of feedback in learning a vernier discrimination task
We compare improvement through training in vernier acuity under different feedback conditions in order to clarify the role of feedback during learning of a perceptual task and to test different (neural network) models of perceptual learning. Improvement of performance is measured in 49 observers under feedback, no feedback, uncorrelated feedback, partial feedback, and block feedback conditions....
