Posets arising from decompositions of objects in a monoidal category
Given a symmetric monoidal category $C$ with product $\sqcup$, where the neutral element for the product is an initial object, we consider the poset of $\sqcup$-complemented subobjects of a given object $X$. When this poset has finite height, we define decompositions and partial decompositions of $X$ which are coherent with $\sqcup$, and order them by refinement. From these posets, we define complexes of frames and partial bases, augmented Bergman complexes and related ordered versions. We prop…

Mapping 1+1-dimensional black hole thermodynamics to finite volume effects
Both black hole thermodynamics and finite volume effects in quantum field theory violate the null energy condition. Motivated by this, we compare thermodynamic features between two $1+1$-dimensional systems: (i) a scalar field confined to a periodic spatial interval of length $a$ and tunneling between two degenerate vacua; (ii) a dilatonic black hole at temperature $T$ in the presence of matter fields. If we identify $a\propto T^{-1}$, we find similar thermodynamic behaviour, which suggests som…

Sample-based nonlinear detectability for discrete-time systems
This paper introduces two sample-based formulations of incremental input/output-to-state stability (i-IOSS), a suitable detectability notion for general nonlinear systems. In this work we consider the case of limited output information, i.e., measurements are only infrequently and/or irregularly available. The output-dependent term of the sample-based i-IOSS bound is properly modified to yield a characterization for detectability in presence of incomplete output sequences. We provide both a non…

Useful chemical processes often involve a desired steady state probability distribution, equilibrium or not, from which product is extracted. Given many different ways to attain the same steady state, which candidate "loses" the least in terms of time and energy? A scalar thermodynamic information criterion (TIC), inspired by AIC, assigns lower values to chemical processes with less estimated "loss" to generate the same desired steady state. As an element of thermodynamic machine learning, TIC …

This is important because even resource-constrained IoT devices can generate dozens of DNS requests every hour. DNS is a crucial service that correlates IP addresses and domain names.

Some of the drones are even shown *landing softly on top* of the bombers before, presumably denotating.
A really stunning operation on all sorts of levels but while this will certainly put a dent in some of Russia’s airborne capabilities, the fact the operation took more than a year to plan and execute shows that this isn't exactly an immediate game changer and is not proof of any new Ukrainian ability that would stop or reverse Russia's aggression.

We consider recovering a function $f : D \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ in an $n$-dimensional linear subspace $\mathcal{P}$ from i.i.d. pointwise samples via (weighted) least-squares estimators. Different from most works, we assume the cost of evaluating $f$ is potentially nonuniform, and governed by a cost function $c : D \rightarrow (0,\infty)$ which may blow up at certain points. We therefore strive to choose the sampling measure in a way that minimizes the expected total cost. We provide a recover…

Event-triggered moving horizon estimation for nonlinear systems
This work proposes an event-triggered moving horizon estimation (ET-MHE) scheme for general nonlinear systems. The key components of the proposed scheme are a novel event-triggering mechanism (ETM) and the suitable design of the MHE cost function. The main characteristic of our method is that the MHE's nonlinear optimization problem is only solved when the ETM triggers the transmission of measured data to the remote state estimator. If no event occurs, then the current state estimate results fr…

Predictive control for nonlinear stochastic systems: Closed-loop guarantees with unbounded noise
We present a stochastic model predictive control framework for nonlinear systems subject to unbounded process noise with closed-loop guarantees. First, we provide a conceptual shrinking-horizon framework that utilizes general probabilistic reachable sets and minimizes the expected cost. Then, we provide a tractable receding-horizon formulation that uses a nominal state to minimize a deterministic quadratic cost and satisfy tightened constraints. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates recursive f…

Sensitivity-Informed Parameter Selection for Improved Soil Moisture Estimation from Remote Sensing Data
Improving the accuracy of soil moisture estimation is required for advancing irrigation scheduling and water conservation efforts. Central to this task are soil hydraulic parameters, which govern moisture dynamics but are rarely known precisely and must therefore be inferred from observational data. In large-scale agricultural fields, estimating the complete set of these parameters is often impractical due to the sparse and noisy nature of available measurements. To address this challenge, this…
