Equivalent formulation and numerical analysis of a fire confinement problem

Alberto Bressan, Tao Wang (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a class of variational problems for differential inclusions, related to the control of wild fires. The area burned by the fire at time t> 0 is modelled as the reachable set for a differential inclusion x ˙ ∈F(x), starting from an initial set R0. To block the fire, a barrier can be constructed progressively in time. For each t> 0, the portion of the wall constructed within time t is described by a rectifiable set γ(t) ⊂ 2 . In this paper we show that the search for blocking strategies...

Externally and internally positive time-varying linear systems

Tadeusz Kaczorek (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The notions of externally and internally positive time-varying linear systems are introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the external and internal positivities of time-varying linear systems are established. Moreover, sufficient conditions for the reachability of internally positive time-varying linear systems are presented.
