Positive Semidefiniteness of Discrete Quadratic Functionals
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider symplectic difference systems, which contain as special cases linear Hamiltonian difference systems and Sturm–Liouville difference equations of any even order. An associated discrete quadratic functional is important in discrete variational analysis, and while its positive definiteness has been characterized and is well understood, a characterization of its positive semidefiniteness remained an open problem. In this paper we present the solution to this problem and offer necessary and sufficient conditions for such discrete quadratic functionals to be non-negative definite.

Positive linear functionals without representing measures
For k even, let Pk denote the vector space of polynomials in 2 real variables of degree at most k. A linear functional L : Pk −→ R is positive if p ∈ Pk, p|R2 ≥ 0 =⇒ L(p) ≥ 0. Hilbert’s theorem on sums of squares (cf. [15]) implies that L : P4 −→ R is positive if and only if the moment matrix associated to L is positive semidefinite. In this note, using k = 6, we exhibit the first families of p...
متن کاملGlobal Stability Conditions of Delayed SIRS Epidemiological Models for Vector Diseases∗
SIRS models with delay times (discrete or distributed) are studied. By means of Lyapunov functionals, we establish the global stability conditions of the equilibrium states. We will make ingenious linear combination of common quadratic, composite quadratic and Volterra-type functionals, for obtain a suitable Lyapunov functionals.
متن کاملOptimal Finite-time Control of Positive Linear Discrete-time Systems
This paper considers solving optimization problem for linear discrete time systems such that closed-loop discrete-time system is positive (i.e., all of its state variables have non-negative values) and also finite-time stable. For this purpose, by considering a quadratic cost function, an optimal controller is designed such that in addition to minimizing the cost function, the positivity proper...
متن کاملGlobal Quadratic Minimization over Bivalent Constraints: Necessary and Sufficient Global Optimality Condition
In this paper, we establish global optimality conditions for quadratic optimization problems with quadratic equality and bivalent constraints. We first present a necessary and sufficient condition for a global minimizer of quadratic optimization problems with quadratic equality and bivalent constraints. Then, we examine situations where this optimality condition is equivalent to checking the po...
متن کاملConstructive Stabilization of Quadratic-input Nonlinear Systems with Bounded Controls
In this paper, the stabilization of quadratic-input nonlinear systems with bounded controls is considered. According to the type of quadratic-input forms, two cases, namely, positive definite and positive semi-definite, are considered. For the case of positive definiteness, a universal formula for bounded stabilizers is given via a known Lyapunov control function. For the case of positive semid...
