Matrix quadratic equations column/row reduced factorizations and an inertia theorem for matrix polynomials
It is shown that a certain Bezout operator provides a bijective correspondence between the solutions of the matrix quadratic equation and factorizatons of a certain matrix polynomial (which is a specification of a Popov-type function) into a product of row and column reduced polynomials. Special attention is paid to the symmetric case, i.e. to the Algebraic Riccati Equation. In particular, it is shown that extremal solutions of such equations correspond to spectral factorizations of . The proof...

Monomial subdigraphs of reachable and controllable positive discrete-time systems
A generic structure of reachable and controllable positive linear systems is given in terms of some characteristic components (monomial subdigraphs) of the digraph of a non-negative a pair. The properties of monomial subdigraphs are examined and used to derive reachability and controllability criteria in a digraph form for the general case when the system matrix may contain zero columns. The graph-theoretic nature of these criteria makes them computationally more efficient than their known equivalents....
Multiplicity of polynomials on trajectories of polynomial vector fields in
Let ξ be a polynomial vector field on with coefficients of degree d and P be a polynomial of degree p. We are interested in bounding the multiplicity of a zero of a restriction of P to a non-singular trajectory of ξ, when P does not vanish identically on this trajectory. Bounds doubly exponential in terms of n are already known ([9,5,10]). In this paper, we prove that, when n=3, there is a bound of the form . In Control Theory, such a bound can be used to give an estimate of the degree of nonholonomy...
