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
- 15.1For 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.
- 15.2Draft 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
- 15.3Derive 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 .
- 15.4Verify the scalar Riccati fixed point of Example (see book) analytically (solve ), confirm and , and compute the sensitivity —the value of a better sensor.
- 15.5Extend Theorem (see book) to time-varying gains : show the error dynamics remain geometrically stable once for all large .
- 15.6In Proposition (see book)'s setting, derive the optimal confidence trading false-alert cost against per-period breach cost , and evaluate it on the bank instance of Example (see book).
C. Computational exercises
- 15.7Prove the multivariable extension of Theorem (see book)(iii): under detectability of and stabilizability of , the Riccati iteration converges to the unique positive-semidefinite stabilizing fixed point (follow the monotone-operator route; cite Volume I where needed).
- 15.8Prove 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
- 15.9Reproduce Example (see book); then sweep the manual cadence from to periods and plot cost against cadence, locating where human-cycle latency costs one, five, and ten percent of value.
- 15.10Implement 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.
- 15.11Meridian 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.
- 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 .

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