It is proved that applying sufficient regularity conditions to the interval matrix $[A-|B|,A + |B|]$, we can create a new unique solvability condition for the absolute value equation $Ax + B|x|=b$, since regularity of interval matrices implies unique solvability of their corresponding absolute value equation. This condition is formulated in terms of positive deniteness of a certain point matrix...

For a graph, the least signless Laplacian eigenvalue is the least eigenvalue of its signless Laplacian matrix. This paper investigates how the least signless Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph changes under some perturbations, and minimizes the least signless Laplacian eigenvalue among all the nonbipartite graphs with given matching number and edge cover number, respectively.

In this article we characterize the L mathvariant="normal">∞ <mml:annotation encoding="application/...

Band structure calculations for photonic crystals require the numerical solution of eigenvalue problems. In this paper, we consider crystals composed of lossy materials with frequency-dependent permittivities. Often, these frequency dependencies are modeled by rational functions, such as the Lorentz model, in which case the eigenvalue problems are rational in the eigenvalue parameter. After spa...

A comprehensive survey of some recent results regarding parameterized inverse eigenvalue problems is given in this paper. Speciic topics include: additive and multiplicative inverse eigenvalue problems, classical inverse eigenvalue problems and generalized inverse eigenvalue problems. Both the theoretic and algorithmic aspects are reviewed. Some open problems are revealed to stimulate further r...

In this paper, a novel compensator based on Magnetically Controlled Reactor with Fixed Capacitor banks (FC-MCR) is introduced and then power system stability in presence of this compensator is studied using an intelligent control method. The problem of robust FC-MCR-based damping controller design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. The multi-objective problem is concocted ...
