Stability Theory When a system has control, then comes the questions of whether we could make it stable under the control. Problem Setup A control affine system is this $$ \dot x =f(x)+\sum_i g_i(x)\bar u_i=f(x)+g(x)\bar u $$Interpretation:

Basic Notions Def Topological Equivalence: 2 dynamic systems are topological equivalence when there is a homeomorphism between their solutions. Def Conjugate: Two maps are connected by $$g=h^{-1}\circ f \circ h$$.

Stability Theory Motivation We want to know for a dynamic system, in this note majorly autonomous system, when it is stable? The meaning of stability? If it’s stable how to prove so. Majorly we are going to use Lyapnov functions and spectral properties of linearized system to prove.

Problem Statement Given a bunch of noisy data, you want a smooth curve going through the cloud. As the points are noisy, there is no need to going through each point.

Note on Gaussian Process Gaussian Process can be thought of as a Gaussian distribution in function space (or infinite dimension vector). One of its major usage is to tackle nonlinear regression problem and provide mean estimate and errorbar around it.

Note on Laplacian-Beltrami (Diffusion) Operator Motivation Laplacian on graph and on discrete geometry (mesh) are very useful tools. One core intuition, just like Laplacian in $\R^n$ space, it’s related to diffusion and heat equation. Recall the diffusion equation is

Spectral Graph Theory and Segmentation Motivation Spectral Graph Theory is a powerful tool as it sits at the center of multiple representation. Connects to Graph and manifold, and linear algrbra. It’s related to dynamics on graph, related to Markov chain, random walk (diffusion.) Could be applied to any point cloud: images, meshes are suited. Could be used to perform clustering, segmentation etc. Linear Algebra Review There are several ways to see a eigenvalue problem
