The capacity of unstable dynamical systems-interaction of control and information transmission
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017)Feedback capacity is extended beyond classical communication channels, to stochastic dynamical systems, which may correspond to unstable control systems or unstable communication channels, subject to average cost constraints ...

Detectability in stochastic discrete event systems
(IFAC Secretariat, 2014)In this paper we define and analyze notions of detectability in stochastic discrete event systems (SDES). More specifically, we introduce the notions of A-detectability and AA-detectability which focus on characterizing ...

Detectability in stochastic discrete event systems
(2015)A discrete event system possesses the property of detectability if it allows an observer to perfectly estimate the current state of the system after a finite number of observed symbols, i.e., detectability captures the ...

Distributed matrix scaling and application to average consensus in directed graphs
(2013)We propose a class of distributed iterative algorithms that enable the asymptotic scaling of a primitive column stochastic matrix, with a given sparsity structure, to a doubly stochastic form. We also demonstrate the ...
