Special loop connections of linear systems

Special connections in almost paracontact metric geometry

‎Two types of properties for linear connections (natural and almost paracontact metric) are discussed in almost paracontact metric geometry with respect to four linear connections‎: ‎Levi-Civita‎, ‎canonical (Zamkovoy)‎, ‎Golab and generalized dual‎. ‎Their relationship is also analyzed with a special view towards their curvature‎. ‎The particular case of an almost paracosymplectic manifold giv...

Special linear systems and syzygies

LetX be the base locus of a linear system L of hypersurfaces in Pr(C). In this paper it is showed that the existence of linear syzygies for the ideal of X has strong consequences on the fibres of the rational map associated to L. The case of hyperquadrics is particularly addressed. The results are applied to the study of rational maps and to the Perazzo’s map for cubic hypersurfaces.

Connections between Linear Systems and Convolutional Codes

Connections between Linear Systems and Convolutional Codes

The article reviews different definitions for a convolutional code which can be found in the literature. The algebraic differences between the definitions are worked out in detail. It is shown that bi-infinite support systems are dual to finite-support systems under Pontryagin duality. In this duality the dual of a controllable system is observable and vice versa. Uncontrollability can occur on...

Open-loop and Closed-loop Optimization of Linear Control Systems

A canonical optimal control problem for linear systems with timevarying coefficients is considered in the class of discrete controls. On the basis of linear programming methods, two primal and two dual methods of constructing optimal open-loop controls are proposed. A method of synthesis of optimal feedback control is described. Results are illustrated by a fourth-order problem; estimates of ef...
