Scalar CFTs and Their Large N Limits
We study scalar conformal field theories whose large spectrum is fixed by
the operator dimensions of either Ising model or Lee-Yang edge singularity.
Using numerical bootstrap to study CFTs with symmetry, we find
a series of kinks whose locations approach
at
. Setting , we study the cubic anisotropic fixed
point with three spin components. As byproducts of our numerical bootstrap
work, we discover another series of kinks whose identification with previous
known CFTs remains a mystery. We also show that "minimal models" of
algebra saturate the numerical bootstrap bounds of CFTs with
symmetry.Comment: 29 pages, 5 figure
A weighted pair graph representation for reconstructibility of Boolean control networks
A new concept of weighted pair graphs (WPGs) is proposed to represent a new
reconstructibility definition for Boolean control networks (BCNs), which is a
generalization of the reconstructibility definition given in [Fornasini &
Valcher, TAC2013, Def. 4]. Based on the WPG representation, an effective
algorithm for determining the new reconstructibility notion for BCNs is
designed with the help of the theories of finite automata and formal languages.
We prove that a BCN is not reconstructible iff its WPG has a complete subgraph.
Besides, we prove that a BCN is reconstructible in the sense of [Fornasini &
Valcher, TAC2013, Def. 4] iff its WPG has no cycles, which is simpler to be
checked than the condition in [Fornasini & Valcher, TAC2013, Thm. 4].Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, accepted by SIAM Journal on Control and

Synthesis of Covert Actuator Attackers for Free
In this paper, we shall formulate and address a problem of covert actuator
attacker synthesis for cyber-physical systems that are modelled by
discrete-event systems. We assume the actuator attacker partially observes the
execution of the closed-loop system and is able to modify each control command
issued by the supervisor on a specified attackable subset of controllable
events. We provide straightforward but in general exponential-time reductions,
due to the use of subset construction procedure, from the covert actuator
attacker synthesis problems to the Ramadge-Wonham supervisor synthesis
problems. It then follows that it is possible to use the many techniques and
tools already developed for solving the supervisor synthesis problem to solve
the covert actuator attacker synthesis problem for free. In particular, we show
that, if the attacker cannot attack unobservable events to the supervisor, then
the reductions can be carried out in polynomial time. We also provide a brief
discussion on some other conditions under which the exponential blowup in state
size can be avoided. Finally, we show how the reduction based synthesis
procedure can be extended for the synthesis of successful covert actuator
attackers that also eavesdrop the control commands issued by the supervisor.Comment: The paper has been accepted for the journal Discrete Event Dynamic
