Passivity theory is one of the cornerstones of control theory providing a systematic way to study the stability of interconnected systems. In practice, many systems are not passive, and must be passivized in order to be included in the framework of passivity theory. Input-output (loop) transformations are the most general tool for passivizing systems. In this paper, we propose a characterization of all possible input-output transformations that map a system with given shortage of passivity to a system with prescribed excess of passivity. We do so by using the connection between passivity theory and cones for SISO systems, and using the S-lemma for MIMO systems. We also present several possible applications of our results, including simultaneous passivation of multiple systems or with respect to multiple equilibria, as well as optimization problems such as $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain minimization.

In this webinar, we will discuss the newly released ISO standard, ISO/IEC 42001: Artificial Intelligence Management System and its impact on the governance of AI. We will go over the context of the standard, it’s objectives, and the new framework it sets to help organizations build a responsible AI practice, develop an ethical practice, and build a long-term AI strategy. We will also address implications of the EU AI Act on U.S technology companies, and the impact of the EU Act on the issue of conformity assessment and standardization. Finally, we will discuss linkages between 42001 and the NIST Risk Management Framework, and go over the state of federal and local government AI regulations in the U.S Co-sponsored by: Ali Daneshmand Speaker(s): Sid Ahmed, Agenda: Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428548
