Applications of Tensor Eigenvalues and Decompositions to Dynamics, Control, and Estimation

Abstract:

Large uncertainties and highly nonlinear dynamics in Cislunar space pose exciting new challenges in autonomous guidance navigation and control as well as space domain awareness. This talk will focus on recent applications of techniques from numerical multilinear algebra to nonlinearity quantification, error bounding for linearized guidance and control tasks, as well as uncertainty propagation. These techniques include tensor eigenvalues analysis and the tensor Canonical Polyadic Decomposition.

Speaker:

Jackson Kulik is an assistant professor at Utah State University in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. Jackson attended Texas Tech University and Cornell University for a BS and PhD respectively in Applied Mathematics. His interests are in applying techniques from dynamical systems theory and numerical analysis to problem in astrodynamics and guidance, navigation, and control.
