Abstract:
In a noisy system, such as the nervous system, can movements be precisely controlled as experimentally demonstrated? We point out that the existing theory of motor control fails to provide viable solutions. However, by adopting a generalized approach to the nonconvex optimization problem with the Young measure theory, we show that a precise movement control is possible even with stochastic control signals. Numerical results clearly demonstrate that a considerable significant improvement of movement precisions is achieved. Our generalized approach proposes a new way to solve optimization problems in biological systems when a precise control is needed.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
