In this work we present a theoretical and numerical study of the behaviour of the maximum Lyapunov exponent for a generic coupled-map-lattice in the weak-coupling regime. We explain the observed results by introducing a suitable continuous-time formulation of the tangent dynamics. The first general result is that the deviation of the Lyapunov exponent from the uncoupled-limit limit is function ...

In this paper we transfer classical results concerning Lyapunov stability of stationary solutions x to the classes of DAEs being most interesting for circuit simulation, thereby keeping smoothness as low as possible. We formulate all criteria in terms of the original equation. Those simple matrix criteria for checking regularity, Lyapunov stability etc. are easily realized numerically.

The sensitivity of coupled continuous-time Riccati equations is analyzed through the norm of the inverse Lyapunov-like operator. This analysis leads to bounds on the perturbation of the solution. As a byproduct some properties of coupled Lyapunov equation and results on the stability of linear systems with jumps are presented.

Consider the stochastic Duffing-van der Pol equation ẍ = −ω2x− Ax −Bx2ẋ + εβẋ + εσxẆt with A ≥ 0 and B > 0. If β/2 + σ/8ω > 0 then for small enough ε > 0 the system (x, ẋ) is positive recurrent in R \ {0}. Let λ̃ε denote the top Lyapunov exponent for the linearization of this equation along trajectories. The main result asserts that λ̃ε ∼ ελ̃ as ε → 0 where λ̃ is the top Lyapunov exponent along tra...

1 Motivation This Master's Thesis project considers software for solving periodic Sylvester-type matrix equations. Recently, the ScaLAPACK-style library SCASY was completed. SCASY is a parallel HPC software library that solves for 42 sign and transpose variant of 8 common standard and generalized Sylvester-type matrix equations (see Table 1) which builds on the Table 1: The Sylvester-type matri...

The multidelays linear control systems described by difference differential equations are often studied in modern control theory. In this paper, the delay-independent stabilization algebraic criteria and the theorem of delay-independent stabilization for linear systems with multiple time-delays are established by using the Lyapunov functional and the Riccati algebra matrix equation in the matri...

In this paper, we answer the question under which conditions the porousmedium equation with convection and with periodic boundary conditions possesses gradient-type Lyapunov functionals (first-order entropies). It is shown that the weighted sum of first-order and zeroth-order entropies are Lyapunov functionals if the weight for the zeroth-order entropy is sufficiently large, depending on the st...

The ADI iteration is closely related to the rational Krylov projection methods for constructing low rank approximations to the solution of Sylvester equation. In this paper we show that the ADI and rational Krylov approximations are in fact equivalent when a special choice of shifts are employed in both methods. We will call these shifts pseudo H2-optimal shifts. These shifts are also optimal i...
