Survey Constrained model predictive control: Stability and optimality

A new approach is presented to the problem of detecting the number of signals in a multichannel time-series, based on the application of the information theoretic criteria for model selection introduced by Akaike (AIC) and by Schwartz and Rissanen (MDL). Unlike the conventional hypothesis testing based approach, the new approach does not requite any subjective threshold settings; the number of signals is obtained merely by minimizing the AIC or the MDL criteria. Simulation results that illustrate the performance of the new method for the detection of the number of signals received by a sensor array are presented.

Detection of signals by information theoretic criteria

Many problems in the sciences and engineering can be rephrased as optimization problems on matrix search spaces endowed with a so-called manifold structure. This book shows how to exploit the special structure of such problems to develop efficient numerical algorithms. It places careful emphasis on both the numerical formulation of the algorithm and its differential geometric abstraction--illustrating how good algorithms draw equally from the insights of differential geometry, optimization, and numerical analysis. Two more theoretical chapters provide readers with the background in differential geometry necessary to algorithmic development. In the other chapters, several well-known optimization methods such as steepest descent and conjugate gradients are generalized to abstract manifolds. The book provides a generic development of each of these methods, building upon the material of the geometric chapters. It then guides readers through the calculations that turn these geometrically formulated methods into concrete numerical algorithms. The state-of-the-art algorithms given as examples are competitive with the best existing algorithms for a selection of eigenspace problems in numerical linear algebra. Optimization Algorithms on Matrix Manifolds offers techniques with broad applications in linear algebra, signal processing, data mining, computer vision, and statistical analysis. It can serve as a graduate-level textbook and will be of interest to applied mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists.

Information Inequality for Estimation of Transfer Functions: main results

Controller validation for stability and performance based on an uncertainty region from an identified model

This paper adresses the variance quantification problem for system identification based on the prediction error framework. The role of input and model class selection for the auto-covariance of the estimated transfer function is explained without reference to any particular parametrization. This is achieved by lifting the concept of covariance from the parameter space to the system manifold where it is represented by a positive kernel instead of a positive definite matrix. The Fisher information metric as defined in information geometry allows an interpretation as a signal-to-noise ratio weighted standard metric after embedding the system manifold in the Hardy space of square integrable analytic functions. The reproducing kernel of the tangent space with respect to this metric is shown to provide an asymptotically tight lower bound for the positive kernel representing the covariance at the system which generated the input-output data.
