Polynomial two-parameter eigenvalue problems and matrix pencil methods for stability of delay-differential equations
Several recent methods used to analyze asymptotic stability of
delay-differential equations (DDEs) involve determining the eigenvalues of a
matrix, a matrix pencil or a matrix polynomial constructed by Kronecker
products. Despite some similarities between the different types of these
so-called matrix pencil methods, the general ideas used as well as the proofs
differ considerably. Moreover, the available theory hardly reveals the
relations between the different methods.
In this work, a different derivation of various matrix pencil methods is
presented using a unifying framework of a new type of eigenvalue problem: the
polynomial two-parameter eigenvalue problem, of which the quadratic
two-parameter eigenvalue problem is a special case. This framework makes it
possible to establish relations between various seemingly different methods and
provides further insight in the theory of matrix pencil methods.
We also recognize a few new matrix pencil variants to determine DDE
stability.
Finally, the recognition of the new types of eigenvalue problem opens a door
to efficient computation of DDE stability
Asymptotic properties of the spectrum of neutral delay differential equations
Spectral properties and transition to instability in neutral delay
differential equations are investigated in the limit of large delay. An
approximation of the upper boundary of stability is found and compared to an
analytically derived exact stability boundary. The approximate and exact
stability borders agree quite well for the large time delay, and the inclusion
of a time-delayed velocity feedback improves this agreement for small delays.
Theoretical results are complemented by a numerically computed spectrum of the
corresponding characteristic equations.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
Delay-dependent exponential stability of neutral stochastic delay systems (vol 54, pg 147, 2009)
In the above titled paper originally published in vol. 54, no. 1, pp. 147-152) of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, there were some typographical errors in inequalities. Corrections are presented here
Delay-dependent exponential stability of neutral stochastic delay systems
This paper studies stability of neutral stochastic delay systems by linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. Delay dependent criterion for exponential stability is presented and numerical examples are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method
Optimal linear stability condition for scalar differential equations with distributed delay
Linear scalar differential equations with distributed delays appear in the
study of the local stability of nonlinear differential equations with feedback,
which are common in biology and physics. Negative feedback loops tend to
promote oscillations around steady states, and their stability depends on the
particular shape of the delay distribution. Since in applications the mean
delay is often the only reliable information available about the distribution,
it is desirable to find conditions for stability that are independent from the
shape of the distribution. We show here that for a given mean delay, the linear
equation with distributed delay is asymptotically stable if the associated
differential equation with a discrete delay is asymptotically stable. We
illustrate this criterion on a compartment model of hematopoietic cell dynamics
to obtain sufficient conditions for stability
Delay-induced patterns in a two-dimensional lattice of coupled oscillators
We show how a variety of stable spatio-temporal periodic patterns can be
created in 2D-lattices of coupled oscillators with non-homogeneous coupling
delays. A "hybrid dispersion relation" is introduced, which allows studying the
stability of time-periodic patterns analytically in the limit of large delay.
The results are illustrated using the FitzHugh-Nagumo coupled neurons as well
as coupled limit cycle (Stuart-Landau) oscillators
Synchronization of coupled neutral-type neural networks with jumping-mode-dependent discrete and unbounded distributed delays
This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the links below - Copyright @ 2013 IEEE.In this paper, the synchronization problem is studied for an array of N identical delayed neutral-type neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters. The coupled networks involve both the mode-dependent discrete-time delays and the mode-dependent unbounded distributed time delays. All the network parameters including the coupling matrix are also dependent on the Markovian jumping mode. By introducing novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and using some analytical techniques, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee that the coupled networks are asymptotically synchronized in mean square. The derived sufficient conditions are closely related with the discrete-time delays, the distributed time delays, the mode transition probability, and the coupling structure of the networks. The obtained criteria are given in terms of matrix inequalities that can be efficiently solved by employing the semidefinite program method. Numerical simulations are presented to further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.This work was supported in part by the Royal Society of the U.K., the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61074129, 61174136 and 61134009, and the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grants BK2010313 and BK2011598
