Information-driven transitions in projections of underdamped dynamics

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti, Amos Maritan

Low-dimensional representations of underdamped systems often provide useful insights and analytical tractability. Here, we build such representations via information projections, obtaining an optimal model that captures the most information on observed spa ...

Modifier Adaptation as a Feedback Control Scheme

Dominique Bonvin, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Sean Costello

As a real-time optimization technique, modifier adaptation (MA) has gained much significance in recent years. This is mainly due to the fact that MA can deal explicitly with structural plant-model mismatch and unknown disturbances. MA is an iterative techn ...

From the Principle of Inertia to the Death Drive: The Influence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics on the Freudian Theory of the Psychical Apparatus

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Philippe Ansermet

In the Freudian theory of the psychical apparatus, the introduction from the 1920s onward of the second drive dualism appears as a major turning point. The idea of a "death drive," first expressed in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (Freud, 1920), is generall ...
