Piecewise Linear Functions (PWLs) can be used to approximate any 1D function. PWLs are built with a configurable number of line segments - the more segments the more accurate the approximation. This ...

Abstract: Inspired by the idea of multiple Lyapunov functions (MLFs), we use piecewise continuous scalar functions to investigate the stabilizability of time-varying switched systems. Starting with ...

Abstract: We develop a novel 2D functional learning framework that employs a sparsity-promoting regularization based on second-order derivatives. Motivated by the nature of the regularizer, we ...
