Stability criteria of linear neutral systems with distributed delays

Guang-Da Hu (2011)

Kybernetika

In this paper, stability of linear neutral systems with distributed delay is investigated. A bounded half circular region which includes all unstable characteristic roots, is obtained. Using the argument principle, stability criteria are derived which are necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of the neutral systems. The stability criteria need only to evaluate the characteristic function on a straight segment on the imaginary axis and the argument on the boundary of a bounded...

Study of Stability in Nonlinear Neutral Differential Equations with Variable Delay Using Krasnoselskii–Burton’s Fixed Point

Mouataz Billah MESMOULI, Abdelouaheb Ardjouni, Ahcene Djoudi (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In this paper, we use a modification of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem introduced by Burton (see [Burton, T. A.: Liapunov functionals, fixed points and stability by Krasnoseskii’s theorem. Nonlinear Stud., 9 (2002), 181–190.] Theorem 3) to obtain stability results of the zero solution of the totally nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delay x ' t = - a t h x t + d d t Q t , x t - τ t + G t , x t , x t - τ t . The stability of the zero solution of this eqution provided that h 0 = Q t , 0 = G t , 0 , 0 = 0 . The Caratheodory condition is used for the functions Q and G .

Subexponential Solutions of Linear Volterra Difference Equations

Martin Bohner, Nasrin Sultana (2015)

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

We study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a scalar convolution sum-difference equation. The rate of convergence of the solution is found by determining the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the transient renewal equation.

The brachistochrone problem with frictional forces

Roberto Giambò, Fabio Giannoni (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we show the existence of the solution for the classical brachistochrone problem under the action of a conservative field in presence of frictional forces. Assuming that the frictional forces and the potential grow at most linearly, we prove the existence of a minimizer on the travel time between any two given points, whenever the initial velocity is great enough. We also prove the uniqueness of the minimizer whenever the given points are sufficiently close.
