The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

Extremal positive semidefinite doubly stochastic matrices

open access: yesLinear Algebra and its Applications, 1991
This paper continues the investigation initiated by \textit{J. P. R. Christensen} and \textit{P. Fischer} [ibid. 82, 123-132 (1986; Zbl 0599.15011)] on the extreme points of \(K_ n=H_ n\cap \Omega_ n\), the intersection set of the closed convex cone \(H_ n\) of all real \(n\times n\) symmetric positive semidefinite matrices and the compact convex set \(

When wine walked into grocery stores: Examining the (un)intended economic consequences of wine Sale reform in Tennessee

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Alcohol policy liberalization is a contentious issue in the United States, including debates over whether grocery stores should be allowed to sell wine. This issue reflects a dilemma between accommodating consumer convenience, promoting wine industry growth, and generating tax revenue, versus concerns about potential harm to liquor stores ...

Rank inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices

open access: yesLinear Algebra and its Applications, 1996
Several inequalities relating the rank of a positive semidefinite matrix with the ranks of various principal submatrices are presented. These inequalities are analogous to known determinantal inequalities for positive definite matrices, such as Fischer's inequality, Koteljanskii's inequality, and extensions of these associated with chordal graphs.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Moore-Penrose inverse of a hollow symmetric matrix and a predistance matrix

open access: yesSpecial Matrices, 2016
By a hollow symmetric matrix we mean a symmetric matrix with zero diagonal elements. The notion contains those of predistance matrix and Euclidean distance matrix as its special cases.

Positive Semidefinite Metric Learning with Boosting

open access: yes, 2009
The learning of appropriate distance metrics is a critical problem in image classification and retrieval. In this work, we propose a boosting-based technique, termed \BoostMetric, for learning a Mahalanobis distance metric.
