The problem of finding a gain matrix of the state-feedback of 2D linear system such that the closed-loop system is positive and asymptotically stable is formulated and solved. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem are established. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to suitable linear programming problem. The proposed approach can be extended to 2D linear system described by the 2D Roesser model.
Let be the semiring of all nonnegative integers and an matrix over . The rank of is the smallest such that can be factored as an matrix times a matrix. The isolation number of is the maximum number of nonzero entries in such that no two are in any row or any column, and no two are in a submatrix of all nonzero entries. We have that the isolation number of is a lower bound of the rank of . For with isolation number , we investigate the possible values of the rank of ...
The power index of a square Boolean matrix A is the least integer d such that Ad is a linear combination of previous nonnegative powers of A. We determine the maximum power indices for the class of n×n primitive symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zero, the class of n×n irreducible nonprimitive symmetric Boolean matrices, and the class of n×n reducible symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zero, and characterize the extreme matrices respectively.
We consider n × n random k-circulant matrices with n → ∞ and k = k(n) whose input sequence {al}l≥0 is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables with finite (2 + δ) moment. We study the asymptotic distribution of the spectral radius, when n = kg + 1. For this, we first derive the tail behaviour of the g fold product of i.i.d. exponential random variables. Then using this tail behaviour result and appropriate normal approximation techniques, we show that with appropriate scaling...
The late Professor Yanai has contributed to many fields ranging from aptitude diagnostics, epidemiology, and nursing to psychometrics and statistics. This paper reviews some of his accomplishments in multivariate analysis through his collaborative work with the present author, along with some untold episodes for the inception of key ideas underlying the work. The various topics covered include constrained principal component analysis, extensions of Khatri’s lemma, theWedderburn-Guttman theorem,...
This is a presentation of recent work on quantum permutation groups, complex Hadamard matrices, and the connections between them. A long list of problems is included. We include as well some conjectural statements about matrix models.
