In this paper we present a finite dimensional iterative algorithm for optimal maximum a posteriori (MAP) state estimation of bilinear systems. Bilinear models are appealing in their ability to represent or approximate a broad class of nonlinear systems. We show that several bilinear models previously considered in the literature are special cases of the general bilinear model we propose. Our it...

f(x, y) = a x + x Qy + b y, where a, x ∈ R, b, y ∈ R, and Q is a matrix of dimension n ×m. It is easy to see that bilinear functions compose a subclass of quadratic functions. We refer to optimization problems with bilinear objective and/or constraints as bilinear problems, and they can be viewed as a subclass of quadratic programming. Bilinear programming has various applications in constraine...

Electric vehicles introduce new problems in vehicle route planning. Due to limited battery capacity the fastest route from origin to destination is not always feasible. Existing techniques compute the energy optimal route, however this route is often too conservative in terms of travel time. Optimizing both energy consumption and travel time may allow us to identify routes which are both fast a...

Three novel and significant contributions are made in this paper Firstly, non-recursive formulation of Haar connection coefficients, pioneered by the present authors is presented, which can be computed very efficiently and avoid stack and memory overflows. Secondly, the generalized approach for state analysis of singular bilinear time-invariant (TI) and time-varying (TV) systems is presented; v...

We study bilinear embedding models for the task of multirelational link prediction and knowledge graph completion. Bilinear models belong to the most basic models for this task, they are comparably efficient to train and use, and they can provide good prediction performance. The main goal of this paper is to explore the expressiveness of and the connections between various bilinear models propo...

A class of bilinear differential operators is introduced through assigning appropriate signs and used to create bilinear differential equations which generalize Hirota bilinear equations. The resulting bilinear differential equations are characterized by a special kind of Bell polynomials and the linear superposition principle is applied to the construction of their linear subspaces of solution...
