Stability of quaternionic systems: a determinantal approach
In this paper we propose a definition of determinant for quaternionic
polynomial matrices. This definition is later used in the study
of stability of linear quaternionic systems within the behavioral setting
On the determinant of quaternionic polynomial matrices and its application to system stability
In this paper, we propose a definition of determinant for quaternionic, polynomial matrices inspired by the well-known Dieudonne determinant for the constant case. This notion allows to characterize the stability of linear dynamical systems with quaternionic coefficients, yielding results which generalize the ones obtained for the real and complex cases
Testing performance of standards-based protocols in DPM
In the interests of the promotion of the increased use of non-proprietary protocols in grid storage systems, we perform tests on the performance of WebDAV and pNFS transport with the DPM storage solution. We find that the standards-based protocols behave similarly to the proprietary standards currently in use, despite encountering some issues with the state of the implementation itself. We thus conclude that there is no performance-based reason to avoid using such protocols for data management in future
Global reachability of 2D structured systems
In this paper the new concept of 2D structured system is defined and a characterization of global reachability is obtained. This extends a well known result for 1D structured systems, according to which (A ,B ) is (generically) reachable if and only if the matrix [A B] is full generically row rank and irreducible
Periodic orbits 1-5 of quadratic polynomials on a new coordinate plane
While iterating the quadratic polynomial f_{c}(x)=x^{2}+c the degree of the
iterates grows very rapidly, and therefore solving the equations corresponding
to periodic orbits becomes very difficult even for periodic orbits with a low
period. In this work we present a new iteration model by introducing a change
of variables into an (u,v)-plane, which changes situation drastically. As an
excellent example of this we can compare equations of orbits period four on
(x,c)- and (u,v)-planes. In the latter case, this equation is of degree two
with respect to u and it can be solved explicitly. In former case the
corresponding equation
((((x^{2}+c)^{2}+c)^{2}+c)^{2}+c-x)/((x^{2}+c)^{2}+c-x)=0 is of degree 12 and
it is thus much more difficult to solve
