  • convexity of decentralized controller synthesis
    IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2016
    Co-Authors: Laurent Lessard, Sanjay Lall
    Abstract:

    In decentralized control problems, a standard approach is to specify the set of allowable decentralized controllers as a Closed Subspace of linear operators. This then induces a corresponding set of Youla–Kucera parameters. Previous work has shown that quadratic invariance of the controller set implies that the set of Youla–Kucera parameters is convex. In this technical note, we prove the converse. We thereby show that the only decentralized control problems for which the set of Youla–Kucera parameters is convex are those which are quadratically invariant. We further show that under additional assumptions, quadratic invariance is necessary and sufficient for the set of achievable Closed-loop maps to be convex. We give two versions of our results. The first applies to bounded linear operators on a Banach space and the second applies to (possibly unstable) causal LTI systems in discrete or continuous time.

  • space valued Cauchy-Riemann equations with totally real boundary conditions
    2013
    Co-Authors: Katrin Wehrheim
    Abstract:

    The main purpose of this paper is to give a general regularity result for Cauchy-Riemann equations in complex Banach spaces with totally real boundary conditions. The usual elliptic L p-regularity results hold true under one crucial assumption: The Banach space is isomorphic to a Closed Subspace of an L p-space. (Equivalently, the totally real submanifold is modelled on a Closed Subspace of an L p-space.) Some minor corrections are in order on the Sobolev arithmetic in the estimates. Secondly, we describe a class of examples of such totally real submanifolds, namely gauge invariant Lagrangian submanifolds in the space of connections over a Riemann surface. These pose natural boundary conditions for the anti-self-duality equation on 4-manifolds with a boundary space-time splitting, leading towards the definition of a Floer homology for 3-manifolds with boundary, which is the first step in a program by Salamon for the proof of the Atiyah-Floer conjecture. The principal part of such a boundary value problem is an example of a Banach space valued Cauchy-Riemann equation with totally real boundary condition.

    Communications in Contemporary Mathematics, 2004
    Co-Authors: Katrin Wehrheim
    Abstract:

    The main purpose of this paper is to give a general regularity result for Cauchy–Riemann equations in complex Banach spaces with totally real boundary conditions. The usual elliptic Lp-regularity results hold true under one crucial assumption: The Banach space is isomorphic to a Closed Subspace of an Lp-space. (Equivalently, the totally real submanifold is modelled on a Closed Subspace of an Lp-space.) Secondly, we describe a class of examples of such totally real submanifolds, namely gauge invariant Lagrangian submanifolds in the space of connections over a Riemann surface.

    Co-Authors: Katrin Wehrheim
    Abstract:

    The main purpose of this paper is to give a general regularity result for Cauchy-Riemann equations in complex Banach spaces with totally real boundary conditions. The usual elliptic $L^p$-regularity results hold true under one crucial assumption: The totally real submanifold has to be modelled on an $L^p$-space or a Closed Subspace thereof. Secondly, we describe a class of examples of such totally real submanifolds, namely gauge invariant Lagrangian submanifolds in the space of connections over a Riemann surface. These pose natural boundary conditions for the anti-self-duality equation on 4-manifolds with a boundary space-time splitting, leading towards the definition of a Floer homology for 3-manifolds with boundary, which is the first step in a program by Salamon for the proof of the Atiyah-Floer conjecture.

  • on almost invariant Subspaces and approximate commutation
    Journal of Functional Analysis, 2013
    Co-Authors: Laurent W Marcoux, Alexey I Popov, Heydar Radjavi
    Abstract:

    Abstract A Closed Subspace Y of a Banach space X is almost-invariant for a collection S of bounded linear operators on X if for each T ∈ S there exists a finite-dimensional Subspace F T of X such that T Y ⊆ Y + F T . In this paper, we study the existence of almost-invariant Subspaces for algebras of operators. We show, in particular, that if a Closed algebra of operators on a Hilbert space has a non-trivial almost-invariant Subspace then it has a non-trivial invariant Subspace. We also examine the structure of operators which admit a maximal commuting family of almost-invariant Subspaces. In particular, we prove that if T is an operator on a separable Hilbert space and if T P − P T has finite rank for all projections P in a given maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra M then T = M + F where M ∈ M and F is of finite rank.

  • on almost invariant Subspaces and approximate commutation
    arXiv: Functional Analysis, 2012
    Co-Authors: Laurent W Marcoux, Alexey I Popov, Heydar Radjavi
    Abstract:

    A Closed Subspace of a Banach space $\cX$ is almost-invariant for a collection $\cS$ of bounded linear operators on $\cX$ if for each $T \in \cS$ there exists a finite-dimensional Subspace $\cF_T$ of $\cX$ such that $T \cY \subseteq \cY + \cF_T$. In this paper, we study the existence of almost-invariant Subspaces of infinite dimension and codimension for various classes of Banach and Hilbert space operators. We also examine the structure of operators which admit a maximal commuting family of almost-invariant Subspaces. In particular, we prove that if $T$ is an operator on a separable Hilbert space and if $TP-PT$ has finite rank for all projections $P$ in a given maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra $\fM$ then $T=M+F$ where $M\in\fM$ and $F$ is of finite rank.

  • SemiClosed projections and applications
    'Elsevier BV', 2021
    Co-Authors: Contino Maximiliano, Maestripieri, Alejandra Laura, Marcantognini Palacios, Stefania Alma María
    Abstract:

    We characterize the semiClosed projections and apply them to compute the Schur complement of a selfadjoint operator with respect to a Closed Subspace. These projections occur naturally when dealing with weak complementability.Fil: Contino, Maximiliano. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

  • Schur complements of selfadjoint Krein space operators
    2019
    Co-Authors: Contino Maximiliano, Maestripieri Alejandra, Marcantognini Stefania
    Abstract:

    Given a bounded selfadjoint operator W on a Krein space H and a Closed Subspace S of H, the Schur complement of W to S is defined under the hypothesis of weak complementability. A variational characterization of the Schur complement is given and the set of selfadjoint operators W admitting a Schur complement with these variational properties is shown to coincide with the set of S-weakly complementable selfadjoint operators

  • Shorted operators and minus order
    2018
    Co-Authors: Contino Maximiliano, Giribet, Juan Ignacio, Maestripieri Alejandra
    Abstract:

    Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $L(\mathcal{H})$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $W \in L(\mathcal{H})$ a positive operator. Given a Closed Subspace $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize the shorted operator $W_{/ \mathcal{S}}$ of $W$ to $\mathcal{S}$ as the maximum and as the infimum of certain sets, for the minus order $\stackrel{-}{\leq}.$ Also, given $A \in L(\mathcal{H})$ with Closed range, we study the following operator approximation problem considering the minus order: $$ min_{\stackrel{-}{\leq}} \ \{(AX-I)^*W(AX-I) : X \in L(\mathcal{H}), \mbox{ subject to } N(A^*W)\subseteq N(X) \}. $$ We show that, under certain conditions, the shorted operator $W_{/R(A)}$ (of $W$ to the range of $A$) is the minimum of this problem and we characterize the set of solutions
