We investigate the existence and stability of a thermoelastic contact problem with second sound. Previous results established the existence and stability of a solution of the corresponding classical system in the case of radial symmetry. However, recent works have shown that sometimes stability can be lost when the classical Fourier heat conduction is substituted by Cattaneo’s Law. We show that...

We start from the dynamic equations of the comprimating systems (Greitzer-1976) and we make a nondimensionalizing the mass flow rate, the pressure and the time to obtain the nondimensional governing equations. To analyse the stability we apply the Routh Hourwitz criterion and we determin the useful stability range for compressor stability. We propose an interesting concept of dynamic stabilizat...

The stability problem of the Wonham filter with respect to initial conditions is addressed. The case of ergodic signals is revisited in view of a gap in the classic work of H. Kunita (1971). We give new bounds for the exponential stability rates, which do not depend on the observations. In the nonergodic case, the stability is implied by identifiability conditions, formulated explicitly in term...

to be exponentially stable and to apply these results to the study of change of stability in parameter dependent time-periodic parabolic problems. Here, !:::.. denotes the Laplacian in JRN and the weight-function lies in C~(JR, BUC(JRN)), the space of v-HOlder continuous and T -periodic functions taking values in the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions on JRN (v E (0, 1) and T > 0 f...

in this paper, global robust stability of stochastic impulsive recurrent neural networks with time-varyingdelays which are represented by the takagi-sugeno (t-s) fuzzy models is considered. a novel linear matrix inequality (lmi)-based stability criterion is obtained by using lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of uncertain fuzzy stochastic impulsive recurrent neural...

Stability of Time Preferences Individuals frequently face intertemporal decisions. For the purposes of economic analysis, the preference parameters assumed to govern these decisions are generally considered to be stable economic primitives. However, evidence on the stability of time preferences is notably lacking. In a large field study conducted over two years with about 1,400 individuals, tim...

We deal with dynamic equations on time scales, where we characterize the positivity of a system. Uniform exponential stability of a system is determined by the spectrum of its matrix. We investigate the corresponding stability radii with respect to structured perturbations and show that for positive systems the complex stability radius and the positive stability radius coincide. 2000 Mathematic...
