Canonical input-output representation of linear multivariable stochastic systems and joint optimal parameter and state estimation.

G. Salut, J. Aguilar-Martín, S. Lefevre (1979)

Stochastica

In this paper a complete presentation is given of a new canonical representation of multi-input, multi-output linear stochastic systems. Its equivalence with operator form directly linked with ARMA processes as well as with classical state space representation is given, and a transfer matrix interpretation is developed in an example. The importance of the new representation is mainly in the fact that in the joint state and parameters estimation problem, all unknown parameters appear linearly when...

Chance constrained problems: penalty reformulation and performance of sample approximation technique

Martin Branda (2012)

Kybernetika

We explore reformulation of nonlinear stochastic programs with several joint chance constraints by stochastic programs with suitably chosen penalty-type objectives. We show that the two problems are asymptotically equivalent. Simpler cases with one chance constraint and particular penalty functions were studied in [6,11]. The obtained problems with penalties and with a fixed set of feasible solutions are simpler to solve and analyze then the chance constrained programs. We discuss solving both problems...

Comparison principle approach to utility maximization

Peter Imkeller, Victor Nzengang (2015)

Banach Center Publications

We consider the problem of optimal investment for maximal expected utility in an incomplete market with trading strategies subject to closed constraints. Under the assumption that the underlying utility function has constant sign, we employ the comparison principle for BSDEs to construct a family of supermartingales leading to a necessary and sufficient condition for optimality. As a consequence, the value function is characterized as the initial value of a BSDE with Lipschitz growth.

Completitud esencial de la clase de controles basados en un proceso suficiente.

Pilar Ibarrola Muñoz, Javier Yáñez Gestoso (1985)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Se define en este artículo el concepto de proceso suficiente para un proceso de control, así como el de control basado en un proceso suficiente. Se demuestra a continuación que el conjunto de controles basados en un proceso suficiente forma una clase esencialmente completa; por consiguiente, dado un control, existe un control basado en el proceso suficiente que tiene el mismo coste esperado que el anterior.

Configuring a sensor network for fault detection in distributed parameter systems

Maciej Patan, Dariusz Uciński (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The problem of fault detection in distributed parameter systems (DPSs) is formulated as that of maximizing the power of a parametric hypothesis test which checks whether or not system parameters have nominal values. A computational scheme is provided for the design of a network of observation locations in a spatial domain that are supposed to be used while detecting changes in the underlying parameters of a distributed parameter system. The setting considered relates to a situation where from among...

Consensus seeking in multi-agent systems with an active leader and communication delays

Lixin Gao, Yutao Tang, Wenhai Chen, Hui Zhang (2011)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we consider a multi-agent consensus problem with an active leader and variable interconnection topology. The dynamics of the active leader is given in a general form of linear system. The switching interconnection topology with communication delay among the agents is taken into consideration. A neighbor-based estimator is designed for each agent to obtain the unmeasurable state variables of the dynamic leader, and then a distributed feedback control law is developed to achieve consensus....

Consistent price systems for subfiltrations

Andrea Gombani, Stefan Jaschke, Wolfgang Runggaldier (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Asymmetric or partial information in financial markets may be represented by different filtrations. We consider the case of a larger filtration F – the natural filtration of the “model world” – and a subfiltration ^ that represents the information available to an agent in the “real world”. Given a price system on the larger filtration that is represented by a martingale measure Q and an associated numeraire S, we show that there is a canonical and nontrivial numeraire Ŝ such that the price system...

Constrained controllability of nonlinear stochastic impulsive systems

Shanmugasundaram Karthikeyan, Krishnan Balachandran (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper is concerned with complete controllability of a class of nonlinear stochastic systems involving impulsive effects in a finite time interval by means of controls whose initial and final values can be assigned in advance. The result is achieved by using a fixed-point argument.
