Reduction for Structured Aggregated Markov Models Based on Reachable Space

Man Zheng;Yoshito Ohta

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
Year: 2025 | Volume: 70, Issue: 5 | Journal Article |
The order of an aggregated Markov model (AMM) is an index of complexity and is closely related to the reachable subspace of a model. The AMM is called reachable-space reducible when the reachable subspace is not the whole space. Previous results demonstrate that there exists a reduced-order quasi-realization, which may not satisfy the nonnegative constraints, equivalent to a given reachable-space ...Show More

Rational Orthonormal Bases, State Transformations, and Dissipativity

Yoshito Ohta;Paolo Rapisarda

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
Year: 2022 | Volume: 67, Issue: 4 | Journal Article |
We establish formulas relating the state of a continuous-time system with that of the transformed one in a Takenaka–Malmquist–Kautz orthogonal basis. We use such relation to give a simple proof that if the original system is dissipative, then the transformed one is also dissipative with the same storage function. We apply our results to continuous-time subspace system identification.Show More

The Reducibility of Reachable Space for Structured Hidden Markov Models

Man Zheng;Yoshito Ohta

2020 59th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)
Year: 2020 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (1)
The order of a hidden Markov model (HMM) is an index of the complexity and is closely related to the reachable subspace in the state of the model. When the reachable subspace is not the whole space, there exists a reduced-order quasi hidden Markov model (quasi-HMM), which may not satisfy the nonnegative constraints, equivalent to the original HMM. Such an HMM will be called reachable-space reducib...Show More

Year: 2019 | Volume: 64, Issue: 4 | Journal Article |
Cited by: Papers (14)
The Wiener process has provided a lot of practically useful mathematical tools to model stochastic noise in many applications. However, this framework is not enough for modeling extremal events, since many statistical properties of dynamical systems driven by the Wiener process are inevitably Gaussian. The goal of this work is to develop a framework that can represent a heavy-tailed distribution w...Show More

2017 56th Annual Conference of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan (SICE)
Year: 2017 | Conference Paper |
A Bayesian approach for system identification using kernel functions is a popular method. The kernel functions are considered as certain prior knowledge about a target system, so selecting proper kernels is required. Recent studies show that it is successful to use OBF-s(orthonormal basis function)-based kernels as the kernel functions, but estimating hyper-parameters of the kernel functions is a ...Show More
