This chapter is instrumented by:

Launch the module, load the chapter model, modify inputs, run the optimization, and compare against the worked examples in the book.

Exercises

12 exercises, grouped A concept checks · B mathematical · C computational · D enterprise applications. Starred (★) exercises are on the advanced track. Full solutions appear in the Instructor's Manual, Chapter 15.

A. Concept checks

  1. 15.1
    For each row of Table (see book), explain what breaks if an asset-twin practice is transplanted unmodified to the enterprise twin, and which section of this chapter supplies the repair.
  2. 15.2
    Draft the graduated-autonomy protocol of \S(see book) for the treasury loop of Example (see book): the evidence thresholds (stability margins, coverage, false alerts, regret history) that expand the perimeter, and the breaches that contract it.

B. Mathematical exercises

  1. 15.3
    Derive the fusion identity of \S(see book) from the Kalman update with stacked observations, and quantify the precision overstatement when two "independent" sensors share a common upstream source with correlation ρ\rho.
  2. 15.4
    Verify the scalar Riccati fixed point of Example (see book) analytically (solve ϕ(P)=P\phi(P) = P), confirm P∞=0.0695P_{\infty} = 0.0695 and K=0.278K = 0.278, and compute the sensitivity ∂P∞/∂r\partial P_{\infty} / \partial r—the value of a better sensor.
  3. 15.5
    Extend Theorem (see book) to time-varying gains Kt→KK_t \to K: show the error dynamics remain geometrically stable once ρ(A−AKtC)≤ρˉ<1\rho(A - AK_tC) \le \bar{\rho} < 1 for all large tt.
  4. 15.6
    In Proposition (see book)'s setting, derive the optimal confidence z∗z^{*} trading false-alert cost cFAc_{\mathrm{FA}} against per-period breach cost cBc_{\mathrm{B}}, and evaluate it on the bank instance of Example (see book).

C. Computational exercises

  1. 15.7
    Prove the multivariable extension of Theorem (see book)(iii): under detectability of (A,C)(A, C) and stabilizability of (A,Q1/2)(A, Q^{1/2}), the Riccati iteration converges to the unique positive-semidefinite stabilizing fixed point (follow the monotone-operator route; cite Volume I where needed).
  2. 15.8
    Prove that Theorem (see book) fails without separation structure: exhibit a nonlinear (or multiplicative-noise) loop where estimation and control are each stable in isolation but the interconnection is unstable, and identify which proof step breaks.

D. Enterprise applications

  1. 15.9
    Reproduce Example (see book); then sweep the manual cadence from 11 to 88 periods and plot cost against cadence, locating where human-cycle latency costs one, five, and ten percent of value.
  2. 15.10
    Implement a particle-filter twin for a regime-switching demand state (calm/stress), compare its tracking against the Kalman twin through a regime break, and report when the Gaussian mirror is honestly wrong.
  3. 15.11
    Meridian twin, end to end: on the AXIOM-15 module's Meridian instance, stand up the mirror (streams, fusion, filter), certify the separation pair for the working-capital loop, run one Proposition (see book) improvement cycle, and deliver the board pack: state bands, error budget per Theorem (see book), autonomy perimeter, and the governance register.
  4. 15.12 ★
    Develop distributionally robust twin control: replace the certainty-equivalent policy of Theorem (see book) with a Chapter 11 worst-case policy over an ambiguity ball around the posterior πt\pi_t.

All three companions consume the same seeded engine (26215), so their numbers agree by construction — the MFMF convention, carried forward.
