In this paper we present a novel methodology based on a topological entropy, the so-called persistent entropy, for addressing the comparison between discrete piecewise linear functions. The comparison is certified by the stability theorem for persistent entropy. The theorem is used in the implementation of a new algorithm. The algorithm transforms a discrete piecewise linear function into a fil...

A qualitative method is explored for analyzing the stability of systems. The approach is a generalization of the celebrated Lyapunov method. Whereas classically, the Lyapunov method is based on the simple comparison theorem, deriving suitable candidate Lyapunov functions remains mostly an art. As a result, in the realm of delay equations, such Lyapunov methods can be quite conservative. The gen...

We prove a comparison theorem, extending Li [6], and develop a complexanalytic approach to treat L2 small ball probabilities of Gaussian processes. We demonstrate the techniques for the m-times integrated Brownian motions, and in examples where one can not apply Li’s comparison theorem. ∗Department of Mathematics, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844-1103, [email protected] †Department of Sta...

This paper is concerned with the permanence and extinction problem of enterprises cluster constituted by m satellite enterprises and a dominant enterprise. We present the model involving impulsive effect based on ecology theory, which effectively describe the competition and cooperation of enterprises cluster in real economic environment. Applying comparison theorem of impulsive differential eq...

By using Mawhin continuation theorem and comparison theorem, the existence of periodic solution and persistence for a predator-prey system with diffusion and impulses are investigated in this paper. An example and simulation are given to show the effectiveness of the main results. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification : 34C25, 34D20.

The Lax-Richtmyer theorem is extended to work in the framework of Stetter's theory of discretizations. The new result applies to both initial and boundary value problems discretized by finite elements, finite differences, etc. Several examples are given, together with a comparison with other available equivalence theorems. The proof relies on a generalized Banach-Steinhaus theorem.
