When Is a Linear System Conservative ?
We consider infinite-dimensional linear systems without a-priori wellposedness assumptions, in a framework based on the works of M. Livšic, M. S. Brodskĭı, Y. L. Smuljan, and others. We define the energy in the system as the norm of the state squared (other, possibly indefinite quadratic forms will also be considered). We derive a number of equivalent conditions for a linear system to be energy...
متن کاملWhen Can We Call a System Self-Organizing?
We do not attempt to provide yet another definition of selforganization, but explore the conditions under which we can model a system as self-organizing. These involve the dynamics of entropy, and the purpose, aspects, and description level chosen by an observer. We show how, changing the level or “graining” of description, the same system can appear selforganizing or self-disorganizing. We dis...
متن کاملWhen smoke alarms are a nuisance: a call to action.
T here is a clear analogy between smoke detectors and child car seats. Both technologies have been enthusiastically embraced, and their widespread distribution has saved many thousands of lives. However, the issue of car seat misuse has led to a reevaluation of engineering and educational approaches for child occupant protection. It is time for a similar comprehensive reevaluation of smoke dete...
متن کاملA Call for a Backward Design to Knowledge Translation
Despite several calls to support evidence-informed policy-making, variations in uptake of evidence into policy persist. This editorial brings together and builds on previous Knowledge Translation (KT) frameworks and theories to present a simple, yet, holistic approach for promoting evidence-informed policies. The proposed conceptual framework is characterized by its impact-oriented approach and...
متن کاملWhen is a linear multi-modal system disturbance decoupled?
In this paper we study the question under which conditions a linear multi-modal system is disturbance decoupled. We establish necessary and sufficient geometric conditions from which the existing results on switched linear systems and conewise linear systems can be recovered as special cases. Also, we apply these conditions to a class of linear complementarity systems in order to obtain a more ...
