Robustness Certificates for Implicit Neural Networks: A Mixed Monotone Contractive Approach

Saber Jafarpour, Matthew Abate, Alexander Davydov +2

Implicit neural networks are a general class of learning models that replace the layers in traditional feedforward models with implicit algebraic equations. Compared to traditional…

From Contraction Theory to Fixed Point Algorithms on Riemannian and Non-Euclidean Spaces

Francesco Bullo, Pedro Cisneros-Velarde, Alexander Davydov +1

The design of fixed point algorithms is at the heart of monotone operator theory, convex analysis, and of many modern optimization problems arising in machine learning and control.…

Robust Implicit Networks via Non-Euclidean Contractions

Saber Jafarpour, Alexander Davydov, Anton V. Proskurnikov +1

Implicit neural networks, a.k.a., deep equilibrium networks, are a class of implicit-depth learning models where function evaluation is performed by solving a fixed point equation.…

Non-Euclidean Contraction Theory for Monotone and Positive Systems

Saber Jafarpour, Alexander Davydov, Francesco Bullo

In this note we study contractivity of monotone systems and exponential convergence of positive systems using non-Euclidean norms. We first introduce the notion of conic matrix mea…

Non-Euclidean Contraction Theory for Robust Nonlinear Stability

Alexander Davydov, Saber Jafarpour, Francesco Bullo

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for contraction and incremental stability of dynamical systems with respect to non-Euclidean norms. First, we introduce weak pairings a…
