• Abstract: The input-parameter-state estimation capabilities of a novel unscented Kalman filter is examined herein on both linear and nonlinear systems. The unknown input is estimated in two stages within each time step. Firstly, the predicted dynamic states and the system parameters provide an estimation of the input. Secondly, the corrected with measurements states and parameters provide a final estimation. Importantly, it is demonstrated using the perturbation analysis that, a system with at least a zero or a non-zero known input can potentially be uniquely identified. This output-only methodology allows for a better understanding of the system compared to classical output-only parameter identification strategies, given that all the dynamic states, the parameters, and the input are estimated jointly and in real-time.

  In intrinsic parameters of targets under track can be completely unobservable until the system is deployed.

In this paper, the parameters of an interacting multiple model (IMM) filter are optimized solely using measurements.

  We propose a framework that facilitates the investigation of parameter identification for multi-state systems governed by varying partial differential equations. Our framework consists of two integral components: a constrained self-adaptive neural network, and a sub-network physics-informed neural network. We have showcased the efficacy of our framework on two numerical cases: the 1D Burgers' cases with time-varying parameters and the 2 wave equation with a space-varying parameter.

  We propose a method for synthesising controllers for Markov jump linear systems. Our method is based on a finite-state abstraction that captures both the discrete (mode-jumping) and continuous (stochastic linear) behaviour of the MJLS. We apply our method to multiple realistic benchmark problems, in particular, a temperature control and an aerial vehicle delivery problem.

  This work establishes that a physical system can perform statistical gradient learning without gradient computations. In Aeqprop, the specifics of the system do not have to be known: the procedure is based on external manipulations. Aeqprop also establishes that in natural (bio)physical systems, genuine gradient-based statistical learning may result from generic, relatively simple mechanisms.

  We propose a metrological strategy reaching Heisenberg scaling precision in the estimation of functions of any number $l$ of arbitrary parameters encoded in a generic $M$-channel linear network. Two auxiliary linear network are required and their role is twofold: to refocus the signal into a single channel after the interaction with the interferometer, and to fix the function of the parameters to be estimated according to the linear network analysed.

  We study a class of nonlinear dynamical systems whose state transitions depend linearly on a known feature embedding of state-action pairs. We propose an active learning approach that achieves this by repeating three steps: trajectory planning, trajectory tracking, and re-estimation of the system from all available data. We show that our method estimates nonlinear dynamical systems at a parametric rate, similar to the statistical rate of standard linear regression.
