Abstract

An equivalent circuit for the dynamic B-H behavior of power ferrites is identified from measured transients. It consists of classical elements of hysteresis modeling: a nonlinear inductor for the reversible curve, six viscous play branches (inductors in series with diode-bridge sliders) that form a Prandtl-Ishlinskii model, two R-L branches for the magnetic after-effect, a mean-field feedback of H as in the Jiles-Atherton model, and a measurement path. All elements are positive apart from the feedback sources, and the circuit can run in SPICE. Discretized at the sampling step, the circuit is a difference equation with 32 parameters per material, fitted by backpropagation through time. On the 15 materials of the MagNet Challenge 2, the mean sequence relative error is 7.33 % against 7.77 % for the challenge-winning recurrent network with 336 parameters, and the circuit is more accurate on 12 of the 15 materials. The accuracy can be scaled up by gain scheduling, where a small network per material sets the element values at every step from the excitation, while the hysteresis memory stays in the circuit, such that the error drops to 5.25 % with 656 parameters per material. Thus, an interpretable model is demonstrated that achieves state-of-the-art accuracy.

Reinforcement Learning based Traffic Signal Control for Queue Minimization: From Lane-based to Laneless Traffic

Efficient traffic signal control (TSC) is essential for reducing congestion and delays. Traditional TSC methods struggle to capture the dynamics of laneless, heterogeneous traffic. We propose a reinforcement learning (RL) based adaptive TSC framework whose reward depends only on approach-level queue length, motivated by the difficulty of obtaining per-vehicle measurements in laneless traffic, and evaluate it using SUMO on a conventional lane-based, homogeneous (LBHO) intersection and on a non-orthogonal laneless, heterogeneous (LLHE) intersection. On the LBHO site, the lowest mean configuration has about 23\% lower mean queue length than a Dynamic Webster baseline, and the unselected Full-State configuration about 15\% lower. On the LLHE site, all RL configurations have 66-73\% lower mean queue length than a Dynamic Webster baseline under nominal demand, and 63--74\% lower under two higher-demand scenarios evaluated without retraining. Our algorithm also outperforms actuated control and a RESCO-DQN baseline on mean queue length. We additionally release a laneless, heterogeneous-vehicle SUMO framework integrated with RL based signal control, to our knowledge the first such open implementation on a current SUMO version.

A Deep State-Space Model Compression Method using Upper Bound on Output Error

We study deep state-space models (Deep SSMs) that contain linear quadratic-output (LQO) systems as internal blocks and present a compression method with a provable output error guarantee. We first derive an upper bound on the output error between two Deep SSMs and show that the bound can be expressed in terms of the $h^2$-error norms between the layerwise LQO systems. In particular, we show that reducing the $h^2$ approximation errors of the LQO systems placed in shallow layers is effective in reducing the derived upper bound on the output error. Next, we formulate an optimization problem for the derived upper bound and develop a gradient-based MOR method. In the numerical experiments, using the IMDb task from the LRA benchmark, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed upper-bound-based compression method. In particular, we show that the number of trainable parameters can be reduced by approximately 60\% without retraining while maintaining the performance of the original model.

Safe Navigation in Cluttered Environments Via Spline-Based Harmonic Potential Fields

We provide a motion-planning framework for target reaching and obstacle avoidance in cluttered environments. Given a polyhedral decomposition of the feasible space, the agent is guided through a prescribed sequence of cells by a suitable control policy. For each cell, we construct a potential induced by a harmonic function on the unit disk whose Dirichlet boundary condition is represented by a cardinal B-spline curve. A detailed analysis of the curve periodicity, support, and control-point selection provides an explicit analytical construction of these potentials and the associated vector fields. We further characterize inter-cell control continuity and forward invariance of non-exit facets, and introduce a smoothed control law ensuring continuous switching between independently constructed neighboring cells. Numerical results illustrate that the resulting framework safely guides the agent along the prescribed cell sequence from the initial point to the target.
