On the Tightness of the Balanced Truncation Error Bound with an Application to Arrowhead Systems
Balanced truncation model reduction for linear systems yields reduced-order models that satisfy a well-known error bound in terms of a system's Hankel singular values. This bound is known to hold with equality under certain conditions, such as when the full-order system is state-space symmetric. In …

Continuum Methods and Tightness Results for Non-Simple SLE and CLE: Existence, Interactions, and Metric Approximations
… uniform estimates on its behavior as κ↑8. A tightness argument allows us to take a limit in law, yielding a continuous version of SLE8. The second part of the thesis addresses the construction of multiple SLEκ processes from partially explored CLEκ configurations for κ∈(4,8). While CLEs …
