Abstract

The contributions of this technical note are twofold. Firstly, we formulate an optimization problem to obtain a linear representation of a nonlinear vector field based on a system's trajectory. We also prove that its cost function is strictly convex, given the trajectory is persistently exciting. Under certain observability conditions, we provide results that guarantee the Hurwitz stability of the global minimizer. Secondly, we present a novel algorithm based on point-wise geometric flows to estimate the boundary of the region of attraction. We show that the algorithm converges to the exact boundary of the region of attraction under certain assumptions on the system dynamics. Finally, we validate the results using simulations on various nonlinear autonomous systems.

Symmetry-dependence in Rounding of a Convex Body

The symmetry measure of a convex body $S\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is given by: $\mathrm{sym}(S):=\max\{α\ge0:\text{ there exists }x\in S\text{ such that }-α(S-x)\subseteq S-x\}$, where such an $x$ is called a Minkowski center. We prove that every convex body $S$ admits a $\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$-rounding of $S$, namely, there exists an origin-centered ellipsoid $E$ and a center $c$ such that $E\subseteq S-c\subseteq\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}\,E$. This result was conjectured in 2005 by Belloni and Freund. As special cases, this recovers an $n$-rounding of $S$ (since $\mathrm{sym}(S)\ge\frac{1}{n}$), and a $\sqrt{n}$-rounding when $\mathrm{sym}(S)=1$. In the case when $S$ is a polytope given as the convex hull of points, the desired rounding is produced by a regularized minimum-volume covering ellipsoid problem where the regularization is with respect to the Minkowski center. Similarly, when $S$ is a polytope given as the intersection of halfspaces, such a rounding is produced by a regularized maximum-volume inscribed ellipsoid problem. In both of these cases, the rounding can be computed by first solving a linear optimization problem (to compute $\mathrm{sym}(S)$ and a Minkowski center), and then solving a convex optimization problem with a logarithmic determinant objective, second-order cone constraints, and one semidefinite cone constraint. We also show that the factor $\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$ is nearly tight in its dependence on dimension and symmetry. When $\frac{n+1}{1+\mathrm{sym}(S)}$ is an integer, we show by explicit construction that the factor $\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$ is tight. In the more general case, for every dimension $n$ and every admissible symmetry value, we construct a polytope $S$ for which every rounding factor is at least $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$.

Maximal Monotone Differential Inclusions with Volterra and One-Sided Lipschitz Perturbations under Nonlocal Initial Conditions and Applications

We investigate a class of differential inclusions governed by non-autonomous and autonomous maximal monotone operators, involving set-valued perturbations with a Volterra integral term and subject to a nonlocal condition. Under suitable assumptions on the governing operator, the set-valued perturbation, and the Volterra kernel, we establish existence results for solutions. In particular, the set-valued perturbation is assumed to satisfy a one-sided Lipschitz condition, while the Volterra kernel is required to be Lipschitz continuous. The existence of a trajectory is established by means of an iterative construction and an application of Zorn's lemma. Finally, several examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the abstract results.

On Fast-Slow Mean-Field Forward-Backward Stochastic Systems

We establish an averaging principle for a class of multiscale mean-field forward-backward stochastic differential equations and identify several novel phenomena that are absent from classical fast-slow systems. In contrast with classical fast-slow systems, the effective dynamics cannot in general be obtained by simply freezing deterministic slow parameters and averaging against the invariant measure of the resulting fast equation. The appropriate averaging object is instead provided by a frozen fast dynamics in a random environment and its associated conditional invariant measures, which retain the coupling between the slow state and its distribution. The forward-backward structure creates a further obstruction: local averaging estimates need not remain stable when propagated over an arbitrary time horizon. We identify a uniform restart stability condition for the averaged system under which this obstruction can be overcome. Using a joint lifted semigroup for the state-law dynamics, together with a two-scale discretization and a Gordin-type decomposition, we prove strong averaging for both the forward and backward components with optimal convergence rate $O(\varepsilon^{1/2})$. As an application, we apply the general theory to a class of mean-field stochastic control problems and develop an efficient algorithm for solving such mean-field control problems.
