Abstract

This work has introduced a generalized formulation of the problem of eigenvalue spectrum assignment for block matrix systems. In this problem, it is required to construct a feedback that provides that the matrix of the closed-loop system is similar to a block companion matrix with arbitrary predetermined block matrix coefficients. Sufficient conditions for the resolvability of this problem by linear static output feedback are obtained when the coefficients of the system have a special form, namely, the state matrix is a lower block Frobenius matrix or a lower block Hessenberg matrix, and the input and output block matrix coefficients contain some zero blocks. These conditions are controllability-like rank conditions. Sufficient conditions are constructive. It is proved that, in particular cases, when the system has block scalar matrix coefficients, these conditions can be weakened. The results generalize the previous results obtained for the case of one-dimensional blocks and for the case of systems given by a linear differential equation of higher orders with a multidimensional state. Based on the main results, algorithms are developed that ensure the construction of a gain matrix. The algorithms are implemented on a modeling examples.

Strategic Inference in Stackelberg Games: Optimal Control for Revealing Adversary Intent

We study a continuous-time stochastic Stackelberg game in which a leader seeks to accomplish a primary objective while inferring a hidden parameter of a rational follower. The follower solves an entropy-regularized linear-quadratic tracking problem and responds to the leader's trajectory with a randomized policy. Anticipating this response, the leader designs informative controls to maximize the estimation efficiency for the follower's latent intent, through maximum likelihood estimation. Unlike prior work on discrete-time or finite-candidate inverse learning, our framework enables continuous parameter inference without prior assumptions and endogenizes the information source through the follower's strategic feedback. We derive semi-explicit solutions, prove well-posedness, and develop recurrent neural network algorithms to approximate the leader's path-dependent control. Numerical experiments demonstrate how the leader balances task performance and information gain, highlighting the practical value of our approach for adversarial strategic inference.

Stratification for Nonlinear Semidefinite Programming

This paper introduces a stratification framework for nonlinear semidefinite programming (NLSDP) that reveals and utilizes the geometry behind the nonsmooth KKT system. Based on the index stratification of $\mathbb{S}^n$ and its lift to the primal-dual space, a stratified variational analysis is developed. Specifically, we define the stratum-restricted regularity property, characterize it by the verifiable weak second order condition (W-SOC) and weak strict Robinson constraint qualification (W-SRCQ), and interpret the W-SRCQ geometrically via transversality, with stability along strata. The interactions of these properties across neighboring strata are further examined, leading to the conclusion that classical strong-form regularity conditions correspond to the local uniform validity of stratum-restricted counterparts. On the algorithmic side, a stratified Gauss--Newton method with normal steps and a correction mechanism is proposed for globally solving the KKT equation through a least-squares merit function. We demonstrate that the algorithm converges globally to directional stationary points. Moreover, under the second order sufficient condition (SOSC) and the strict Robinson constraint qualification (SRCQ) at an accumulation point, with a suitable correction threshold, the whole sequence converges superlinearly to this point, which is a KKT pair, and eventually identifies the active stratum. The rate is quadratic if the problem data are additionally of class $LC^2$ near the solution.

Convergence Rate Analysis of SOAP with Arbitrary Orthogonal Projection Matrices

In this short note, we establish, for the first time, the convergence rate of SOAP, an efficient and popular matrix-based optimizer for training deep neural networks. Our analysis extends to a more general variant of SOAP that admits arbitrary orthogonal projection matrices and requires only that these matrices be conditionally independent of the current stochastic gradient at each iteration. For example, they may be constructed from information available up to the preceding step.
