This paper studies the notion of central Pa controllers in the chain-scattering framework. Since in the chain-scattering framework the :&a control problem is equivalent to a factorisation problenl that yields non-unique factors, it is important to somehow pin down these factors so that the resulting central controller is uniquely defined and corresponds to the central and minimum-entropy coiltr...

State-Space Models and Latent Processes in the Statistical Analysis of Neural Data

Periodic event-triggered control (PETC) [13] is a version of event-triggered control (ETC) that only requires to measure the plant output periodically instead of continuously. In this work, we present a construction of timing models for these PETC implementations to capture the dynamics of the traffic they generate. In the construction, we employ a two-step approach. We first partition the stat...

A tutorial introduction to the complex structured singular value (μ) is presented, with an emphasis on the mathematical aspects of μ. The μ-based methods discussed here have been useful for analyzing the performance and robustness properties of linear feedback systems. Several tests for robust stability and performance with computable bounds for transfer functions and their state-space realizat...

v CHAPTER

In this note it is shown that the topology of the gap metric is precisely the topology induced by the behavioral distance introduced in [10], when restricted to the class of stable state space systems with a fixed MacMillan degree.

The purpose of this chapter is to show how games with incomplete information in fact reduce to stochastic games, as long as the information is symmetric among the players. The new state space corresponds to the beliefs on the space of unknown parameters.
