There is more than one way to extend operator theoretic approach to dynamical systems to systems with input (control systems). One is to extend the state space to include sequences of control inputs, as in https://t.co/gh2R3AqjHA , another deals with families of Koopman operators

This week, University of California set a record with winning wins 5 Nobel Prizes in 3 days. 2 of these went to UCSB. I asked ChatGPT to give me the list of Universities with the highest number of Nobel prizes in the last 30 years. Here is what it came up with. 😃 #Nobel #UCSB

Wow. 2 Nobel prizes to UCSB today, and all 3 to University of California https://t.co/fpYzpYodUu! 2 Nobels to the same institution in one year is a somewhat rare event. Congratulations to Prof. Clarke, Devoret and Martinis! Last time this happened at UCSB was 2000. Note: some

My talk at the Koopman Operator Theory II Workshop is here https://t.co/9vaJL8h8t2 In it, 2 new topics are discussed: functional spaces for control systems (with Jorge Cortes and Masih Haseli) and the notion of static Koopman (composition, pullback) operators for mappings between

Foundational models collect all the data from all available instances of the process (e.g. language) to parametrize input to output relationships - interpolatively, with no real time updates. In contrast, the human brain collects data individualized to the process from relatively

I got into science in no small part due to reading James Gleick's "#Chaos" with its wonderful depictions of the discovery process. #Lorenzattractor was one of those great discoveries. It is an example of a physical system exhibiting chaotic motion and sensitivity to initial
