Safe Landing on Small Celestial Bodies with Gravitational Uncertainty Using Disturbance Estimation and Control Barrier Functions
Soft landing on small celestial bodies (SCBs) poses unique challenges, as uncertainties in gravitational models and poorly characterized, dynamic environments require a high level of autonomy. Existing control approaches lack formal guarantees for safety constraint satisfaction, necessary to ensure the safe execution of the maneuvers. This paper introduces a control that addresses this limitation by integrating trajectory tracking, disturbance estimation, and safety enforcement. An extended hig…

Exploring the variational method for thermodynamic models
This work explores the possibilities of the Gibbs-Bogoliubov-Feynman variational method, aiming at finding room for designing various drawing schemes. For example, mean-field approximation can be viewed as a result of using site-independent drawing in the variational method. In subsequent sections, progressively complex drawing procedures are presented, starting from site-independent drawing in the $k$-space. In the next, each site in the real-space is again drawn independently, which is follow…
