Quadratic functionals: positivity, oscillation, Rayleigh's principle

Werner Kratz (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we give a survey on the theory of quadratic functionals. Particularly the relationships between positive definiteness and the asymptotic behaviour of Riccati matrix differential equations, and between the oscillation properties of linear Hamiltonian systems and Rayleigh’s principle are demonstrated. Moreover, the main tools form control theory (as e.g. characterization of strong observability), from the calculus of variations (as e.g. field theory and Picone’s identity), and from matrix...

Quadratic stabilization of distributed parameter systems with norm-bounded time-varying uncertainty.

Wanyi Chen, Fengsheng Tu (1997)

Collectanea Mathematica

This note focuses on the study of robust H-sub-infinity control design for a kind of distributed parameter systems in which time-varying norm-bounded uncertainty enters the state and input operators. Through a fixed Lyapunov function, we present a state feedback control which stabilizes the plant and guarantees an H-sub-infinity norm bound on disturbance attenuation for all admissible uncertainties. In the process, we generalize some known results for finite dimensional linear systems.

Quantitative Analysis of Melanocyte Migration in vitro Based on Automated Cell Tracking under Phase Contrast Microscopy Considering the Combined Influence of Cell Division and Cell-Matrix Interactions

V. Letort, S. Fouliard, G. Letort, I. Adanja, M. Kumasaka, S. Gallagher, O. Debeir, L. Larue, F. Xavier (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the regulation and spatio-temporal dynamics of melanocyte migration in vitro and its coupling to cell division and interaction with the matrix. The melanocyte lineage is particularly interesting because it is involved in both embryonic development and oncogenesis/metastasis (melanoma). Biological experiments were performed on two melanocyte cell lines established from wild-type and β-catenin-transgenic...

Quantitative L^{P} stability analysis of a class of linear time-varying feedback systems

Pini Gurfil (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The L^{P} stability of linear feedback systems with a single time-varying sector-bounded element is considered. A sufficient condition for L^{P} stability, with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, is obtained by utilizing the well-known small gain theorem. Based on the stability measure provided by this theorem, quantitative results that describe output-to-input relations are obtained. It is proved that if the linear time-invariant part of the system belongs to the class of proper positive real transfer functions with a...
