Non-Differentiable Function Tracking

Shyam Kamal, Xinghuo Yu, Rahul Kumar Sharma et al. · IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems II Express Briefs · 2019

The tracking problem of desired signal can be transformed to an equivalent stabilization problem about the origin in the error co-ordinate provided the desired signal is differentiable. If the desired signal is not differentiable, then it is not straightforward to solve the tracking problem. In this brief, a methodology based on fractional operators has been suggested to solve this tracking problem, for those classes of non-differentiable reference signals which are integrable. The simulation results of its application to a switch controlled RL circuit is demonstrated.

Differentiable signed distance function rendering

Delio Vicini, Sébastien Speierer, Wenzel Jakob · ACM Transactions on Graphics · 2022

Physically-based differentiable rendering has recently emerged as an attractive new technique for solving inverse problems that recover complete 3D scene representations from images. The inversion of shape parameters is of particular interest but also poses severe challenges: shapes are intertwined with visibility, whose discontinuous nature introduces severe bias in computed derivatives unless costly precautions are taken. Shape representations like triangle meshes suffer from additional difficulties, since the continuous optimization of mesh parameters cannot introduce topological changes. One common solution to these difficulties entails representing shapes using signed distance functions (SDFs) and gradually adapting their zero level set during optimization. Previous differentiable rendering of SDFs did not fully account for visibility gradients and required the use of mask or silhouette supervision, or discretization into a triangle mesh. In this article, we show how to extend the commonly used sphere tracing algorithm so that it additionally outputs a reparameterization that provides the means to compute accurate shape parameter derivatives. At a high level, this resembles techniques for differentiable mesh rendering, though we show that the SDF representation admits a particularly efficient reparameterization that outperforms prior work. Our experiments demonstrate the reconstruction of (synthetic) objects without complex regularization or priors, using only a per-pixel RGB loss.

Differentiable Structures on Function Spaces

Nishan Krikorian · Transactions of the American Mathematical Society · 1972

A ${C^s}$ differentiable manifold structure is constructed for spaces of maps from a compact ${C^r}$ manifold $M$ to a ${C^{r + s}}$ manifold $N$. The method (1) is inspired by Douady; (2) does not require any additional structure on $N$ (such as sprays); (3) includes the case when $N$ is an analytic manifold and concludes that the mapping space is also an analytic manifold; (4) can be used to treat all the classical mapping spaces (${C^r}$ functions, ${C^r}$ functions with Hölder conditions, and Sobolev functions). Several interesting aspects of these manifolds are investigated such as their tangent spaces, their behavior with respect to functions, and realizations of Lie group structures on them. Differentiable structures are also exhibited for spaces of compact maps with noncompact domain.

Bolzano's continuous but nowhere differentiable function

Hafner, Izidor · Acervo Digital da Universidade Estadual Paulista (Universidade Estadual Paulista) · 2011

Bolzano discovered this continuous but nowhere differentiable function before 1831, but these investigations were not published until 1930. Weierstrass found an analogous function in 1875. The function is the limit of the ones graphed as n goes to infinity
