Rational extensions of the quantum harmonic oscillator and exceptional Hermite polynomials
We prove that every rational extension of the quantum harmonic oscillator
that is exactly solvable by polynomials is monodromy free, and therefore can be
obtained by applying a finite number of state-deleting Darboux transformations
on the harmonic oscillator. Equivalently, every exceptional orthogonal
polynomial system of Hermite type can be obtained by applying a Darboux-Crum
transformation to the classical Hermite polynomials. Exceptional Hermite
polynomial systems only exist for even codimension 2m, and they are indexed by
the partitions \lambda of m. We provide explicit expressions for their
corresponding orthogonality weights and differential operators and a separate
proof of their completeness. Exceptional Hermite polynomials satisfy a 2l+3
recurrence relation where l is the length of the partition \lambda. Explicit
expressions for such recurrence relations are given.Comment: 25 pages, typed in AMSTe
Application of Laguerre based adaptive predictive control to Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators
This paper discusses the use of an existing adaptive predictive controller to control some Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) linear actuators. The model consists in a truncated linear combination of Laguerre filters identified online. The controller stability is studied in details. It is proven that the tracking error is asymptotically stable under some conditions on the modelling error. Moreover, the tracking error converge toward zero for step references, even if the identified model is inaccurate. Experimentalcresults obtained on two different kind of actuator validate the proposed control. They also show that it is robust with regard to input constraints.ANR MAFESM
Strong asymptotics for Cauchy biorthogonal polynomials with application to the Cauchy two--matrix model
We apply the nonlinear steepest descent method to a class of 3x3
Riemann-Hilbert problems introduced in connection with the Cauchy two-matrix
random model. The general case of two equilibrium measures supported on an
arbitrary number of intervals is considered. In this case, we solve the
Riemann-Hilbert problem for the outer parametrix in terms of sections of a
spinorial line bundle on a three-sheeted Riemann surface of arbitrary genus and
establish strong asymptotic results for the Cauchy biorthogonal polynomials.Comment: 31 pages, 12 figures. V2; typos corrected, added reference
