The internal model principle in reservoir computing

Danyal Saqib, Alberto Padoan

The paper studies learning in reservoir computing systems through the lens of the internal model principle. The key idea is to model training signals as outputs of an exogenous sig…

On Dominant Manifolds in Reservoir Computing Networks

Noa Kaplan, Alberto Padoan, Anastasia Bizyaeva

Understanding how training shapes the geometry of recurrent network dynamics is a central problem in time-series modeling. We study the emergence of low-dimensional dominant manifo…

Scaled Relative Graphs in Normed Spaces

Alberto Padoan

The paper extends the Scaled Relative Graph (SRG) framework of Ryu, Hannah, and Yin from Hilbert spaces to normed spaces. Our extension replaces the inner product with a regular pa…

From time series to dissipativity of linear systems with dynamic supply rates

Henk J. van Waarde, Jeremy Coulson, Alberto Padoan

This paper studies the problem of verifying dissipativity of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems using input-output data. We leverage behavioral systems theory to express dissipati…

Data-driven representations of conical, convex, and affine behaviors

Alberto Padoan, Florian Dörfler, John Lygeros

The paper studies conical, convex, and affine models in the framework of behavioral systems theory. We investigate basic properties of such behaviors and address the problem of con…

Controller implementability: a data-driven approach

Alberto Padoan, Jeremy Coulson, Florian Dörfler

We study the controller implementability problem, which seeks to determine if a controller can make the closed-loop behavior of a given plant match that of a desired reference beha…
