چکیده

The inherent iteration required in the multidisciplinary design problem allows the design problem to cast as a dynamical system. The iteration in design is a resultant of the two rootfinding problems. The first root-finding problem is in seeking out candidate designs while the second is in optimizing the candidate designs. Viewing the root-finding schema as a dynamical system allows the application of established techniques from dynamical systems theory to design. Stability theory is one of the techniques that is enabled by viewing multidisciplinary design as a dynamical system. Stability theory is capable of providing information on whether or not a design will converge for a given iteration scheme, starting values for the iteration that will lead to convergence, as well as information regarding how fast a design will converge. Following the theoretical development, each of these concepts is demonstrated on sample problems showing the benefit of the application of stability theory in the design realm.

Dynamical Behavior of a Rigid Body with One Fixed Point (Gyroscope). Basic Concepts and Results. Open Problems: a Review

The study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. A number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...

Quorum-Sensing Synchronization of Synthetic Toggle Switches: A Design Based on Monotone Dynamical Systems Theory

Synthetic constructs in biotechnology, biocomputing, and modern gene therapy interventions are often based on plasmids or transfected circuits which implement some form of "on-off" switch. For example, the expression of a protein used for therapeutic purposes might be triggered by the recognition of a specific combination of inducers (e.g., antigens), and memory of this event should be maintain...

Stability analysis of nonlinear hybrid delayed systems described by impulsive fuzzy differential equations

In this paper we introduce some stability criteria of nonlinear hybrid systems with time delay described by impulsive hybrid fuzzy system of differential equations. Firstly, a comparison principle for fuzzy differential system based on a notion of upper quasi-monotone nondecreasing is presented. Here, for stability analysis of fuzzy dynamical systems, vector Lyapunov-like functions are defined....
