Exponentially Consistent Low-Complexity Outlier Hypothesis Testing for Continuous Sequences

Lina Zhu, Lin Zhou ยท 2026

In this work, we revisit outlier hypothesis testing and propose exponentially consistent, low-complexity fixed-length tests that achieve a better tradeoff between detection performance and computationโ€ฆ

ContactSDF: Signed Distance Functions as Multi-Contact Models for Dexterous Manipulation

Wen Yang, Wanxin Jin ยท 2024

In this paper, we propose ContactSDF, a method that uses signed distance functions (SDFs) to approximate multi-contact models, including both collision detection and time-stepping routines. ContactSDFโ€ฆ

Policy Gradient-based Algorithms for Continuous-time Linear Quadratic Control

Jingjing Bu, Afshin Mesbahi, Mehran Mesbahi ยท 2020

We consider the continuous-time Linear-Quadratic-Regulator (LQR) problem in terms of optimizing a real-valued matrix function over the set of feedback gains. The results developed are in parallel to tโ€ฆ

On the linear static output feedback problem: the annihilating polynomial approach

H.Narayanan, Hariharan Narayanan ยท 2018

One of the fundamental open problems in control theory is that of the stabilization of a linear time invariant dynamical system through static output feedback. We are given a linear dynamical system dโ€ฆ
