Stability of Equilibria in Modified-Gradient Systems

چکیده
Motivated by questions in biology, we investigate the stability of equilibria of the dynamical system x = P (t)∇f(x) which arise as critical points of f , under the assumption that P (t) is positive semi-definite. It is shown that the condition ∫ ∞ λ1(P (t)) dt = ∞, where λ1(P (t)) is the smallest eigenvalue of P (t), plays a key role in guaranteeing uniform asymptotic stability and in providing information on the basis of attraction of those equilibria.

Modeling of liquid–liquid equilibria of aqueous alcohol + salt systems using amodified NRTL
The modified NRTL (m-NRTL) model is used to represent the excess Gibbs free energy of aqueous (alcohol + electrolyte) solutions. In this work, the m-NRTL model previously developed for representation of vapor-liquid equilibria for (polymer + salt + water) systems has been extended to represent liquid-liquid equilibria of (alcohol + salt + water) systems. The proposed extension is a modified of ...
متن کاملMode signature and stability for a Hamiltonian model of electron temperature gradient turbulence
Stability properties and mode signature for equilibria of a model of electron temperature gradient (ETG) driven turbulence are investigated by Hamiltonian techniques. After deriving the infinite families of Casimir invariants, associated with the noncanonical Poisson bracket of the model, a sufficient condition for stability is obtained by means of the Energy-Casimir method. Mode signature is t...

The determination of formation constants of binary inner transition metal complexes where M=Y(III) or La(III) or Ce(III) or Pr(III) or Nd(III) or Sm (III) or Gd (III) or Dy (III) or Th(IV) andL = Creatinine have been carried out using Irving–Rossotti titration technique in aqueous mediaat different temperatures and at ionic strength. To understand more about the nature ofequilibrium involving i...
متن کاملDetermination of Stability Domains for Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Using the Weighted Residuals Method
Finding a suitable estimation of stability domain around stable equilibrium points is an important issue in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. This paper intends to apply a set of analytical-numerical methods to estimate the region of attraction for autonomous nonlinear systems. In mechanical and structural engineering, autonomous systems could be found in large deformation problems or c...
متن کاملOn the stable equilibrium points of gradient systems
This paper studies the relations between the local minima of a cost function f and the stable equilibria of the gradient descent flow of f . In particular, it is shown that, under the assumption that f is real analytic, local minimality is necessary and sufficient for stability. Under the weaker assumption that f is indefinitely continuously differentiable, local minimality is neither necessary...
