Counting and computing regions of -decomposition: algebro-geometric approach
New methods for -decomposition analysis are presented. They are based on
topology of real algebraic varieties and computational real algebraic geometry.
The estimate of number of root invariant regions for polynomial parametric
families of polynomial and matrices is given. For the case of two parametric
family more sharp estimate is proven. Theoretic results are supported by
various numerical simulations that show higher precision of presented methods
with respect to traditional ones. The presented methods are inherently global
and could be applied for studying -decomposition for the space of parameters
as a whole instead of some prescribed regions. For symbolic computations the
Maple v.14 software and its package RegularChains are used.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure
Parameter-Dependent Lyapunov Functions for Linear Systems With Constant Uncertainties
Robust stability of linear time-invariant systems with respect to structured uncertainties is considered. The small gain condition is sufficient to prove robust stability and scalings are typically used to reduce the conservatism of this condition. It is known that if the small gain condition is satisfied with constant scalings then there is a single quadratic Lyapunov function which proves robust stability with respect to all allowable time-varying perturbations. In this technical note we show that if the small gain condition is satisfied with frequency-varying scalings then an explicit parameter dependent Lyapunov function can be constructed to prove robust stability with respect to constant uncertainties. This Lyapunov function has a rational quadratic dependence on the uncertainties
Positive trigonometric polynomials for strong stability of difference equations
We follow a polynomial approach to analyse strong stability of linear
difference equations with rationally independent delays. Upon application of
the Hermite stability criterion on the discrete-time homogeneous characteristic
polynomial, assessing strong stability amounts to deciding positive
definiteness of a multivariate trigonometric polynomial matrix. This latter
problem is addressed with a converging hierarchy of linear matrix inequalities
(LMIs). Numerical experiments indicate that certificates of strong stability
can be obtained at a reasonable computational cost for state dimension and
number of delays not exceeding 4 or 5
A Hamiltonian Krylov-Schur-type method based on the symplectic Lanczos process
We discuss a Krylov-Schur like restarting technique applied within the symplectic Lanczos algorithm for the Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem. This allows to easily implement a purging and locking strategy in order to improve the convergence properties of the symplectic Lanczos algorithm. The Krylov-Schur-like restarting is based on the SR algorithm. Some ingredients of the latter need to be adapted to the structure of the symplectic Lanczos recursion. We demonstrate the efficiency of the new method for several Hamiltonian eigenproblems
Convex Optimization In Identification Of Stable Non-Linear State Space Models
A new framework for nonlinear system identification is presented in terms of
optimal fitting of stable nonlinear state space equations to input/output/state
data, with a performance objective defined as a measure of robustness of the
simulation error with respect to equation errors. Basic definitions and
analytical results are presented. The utility of the method is illustrated on a
simple simulation example as well as experimental recordings from a live
neuron.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure, elaboration of same-title paper in 49th IEEE

The system under consideration is subjected to
time-invariant norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and measurement matrices. The problem addressed is the design of
a gain-scheduled linear state estimator such that, for all admissible measurable uncertainties, the variance of the estimation error of each state is not more than the individual prespecified value, and the transfer function from disturbances to error state outputs satisfies the prespecified Hâ-norm upper bound constraint, simultaneously. The conditions for the existence of desired estimators are obtained in terms of matrix inequalities, and the explicit expression of these estimators is also derived. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate various aspects of theoretical results
