Piecewise Linear Functions (PWLs) can be used to approximate any 1D function. PWLs are built with a configurable number of line segments - the more segments the more accurate the approximation. This ...

Abstract: We introduce an algorithm for synthesizing and verifying piecewise linear Lyapunov functions to prove global exponential stability of piecewise linear dynamical systems. The Lyapunov ...

Abstract: The numerical construction of Lyapunov functions provides useful information on system behavior. In the Continuous and Piecewise Affine (CPA) method, linear programming is used to compute a ...

DuckDB is an embedded database, similar to SQLite, but designed for OLAP-style analytics. It is crazy fast and allows you to read and write data stored in CSV, JSON, and Parquet files directly, ...
