Witsenhausen's counterexample

Witsenhausen's counterexample, shown in the figure below, is a deceptively simple toy problem in decentralized stochastic control. It was formulated by Hans Witsenhausen in 1968. It is a counterexample to a natural conjecture that one can generalize a key result of centralized linear–quadratic–Gaussian control systems—that in a system with linear dynamics, Gaussian disturbance, and quadratic cost, affine (linear) control laws are optimal—to decentralized systems. Witsenhausen constructed a two-stage linear quadratic Gaussian system where two decisions are made by decision makers with decentralized information and showed that for this system, there exist nonlinear control laws that outperform all linear laws. The problem of finding the optimal control law remains unsolved. (Wikipedia).

Evaluating Arguments: Study Hall Writing Composition #9: ASU + Crash Course

How can we know if our argument for something is good? How can we know if someone else is presenting valuable information in their own argument? In evaluating the arguments of others, we’ll also get better at writing arguments ourselves. That’s what we’ll discuss today in Study Hall: Compo

The Riemann Hypothesis

The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the Millennium Prize Problems and has something to do with primes. What's that all about? Rather than another hand-wavy explanation, I've tried to put in some details here. Some grown-up maths follows. More information: http://www.claymath.org/publications

Testing Syllogisms by Counterexample // Lesson 24 [INTRODUCTORY LOGIC]

Although it can feel like there are infinitely many kinds of categorical syllogisms, in fact there are only 256, and of those, only 40 are valid. So how can we confirm which ones are valid and which ones are invalid, especially if we're not already familiar with the terms of the argument?
