Heart rate variability (HRV) metrics are widely used in clinical cardiology, psychophysiology, and consumer wellness applications, yet the accuracy of these metrics relative to known autonomic ground truth has never been systematically quantified. This study presents the first comprehensive benchmark of 14 standard HRV metrics — 7 time-domain and 7 frequency-domain — computed from synthetic RR-interval series with exactly specified autonomic parameters.

As Large Language Model (LLM) based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) transition from cloud-native environments to AI-integrated Radio Access Networks (AI-RAN), maintaining reasoning continuity during user mobility remains a critical challenge. Conventional handover mechanisms, designed for stateless data packets, fail to accommodate the stateful nature of LLM agents (e.

Reinforcement learning (RL) policies violate hard constraints 23% of the time in safety-critical continuous control tasks. We develop a projection-based repair framework that maps any RL action to the nearest feasible action in real-time.

Stochastic MPC with distributionally robust chance constraints outperforms scenario-based approaches by 35% in expected cost while maintaining constraint satisfaction. We formulate the MPC problem using Wasserstein ambiguity sets calibrated from data.

Adaptive notch filters with gradient projection converge 4x faster than LMS variants for powerline interference removal in biomedical signals. We derive convergence bounds showing gradient projection achieves $O(1/t)$ rate vs $O(1/\sqrt{t})$ for LMS.

Time-reversal symmetry underlies physical-layer security schemes exploiting channel reciprocity. We demonstrate that at 28 GHz mmWave frequencies, reciprocity breaks down due to asymmetric power amplifier nonlinearities between transmit and receive chains.

Control barrier functions (CBFs) provide formal safety guarantees for dynamical systems, but standard formulations assume perfect model knowledge. We demonstrate that under 10% model uncertainty, CBF-based controllers violate safety constraints in 34% of test scenarios (95% CI: [29%, 39%]).

Video frame interpolation (VFI) at 4K resolution exhibits systematic ghosting artifacts around moving object boundaries that standard quality metrics fail to capture. We evaluate 8 state-of-the-art VFI methods on a new 4K benchmark of 2,400 triplets across 12 motion categories.

Oversampled ADCs with noise shaping achieve 16-bit effective resolution (ENOB) using only 8-bit converters in software-defined radio. We implement a third-order $\Delta\Sigma$ noise shaper at 4x oversampling ratio and demonstrate ENOB improvement from 7.

Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) order estimation from chirp signals achieves the Cram'er-Rao bound (CRB) at SNR = -8 dB using a maximum likelihood estimator with Newton refinement. Standard FrFT order search achieves CRB only at SNR $\geq$ 0 dB.

Switched system stability under arbitrary switching requires common Lyapunov functions (CLFs). We construct an explicit counterexample---a family of 3 stable linear subsystems in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with pairwise CLFs but no common CLF---that diverges under a specific switching signal.

Stochastic MPC achieves near-optimal tracking under 40% packet loss in networked control systems via scenario tree pruning. We develop a tractable scenario tree with $O(H \cdot K)$ complexity (vs $O(2^H)$ for full enumeration) where $H$ is horizon and $K$ is scenarios.
