    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with the algebraic aspects of the classification of pseudofree, locally linear group actions on a simply connected 4-manifold, particularly with the splitting and stability properties of the associated Hermitian intersection module and its isometry group. Our main result is the proof of stability of the equivariant intersection form for a large class of pseudofree actions. We also prove a topological rigidity theorem stating that two locally linear, pseudofree actions on a closed, oriented, simply connected 4-manifold, with the equivariant intersection forms indefinite and of rank at least 3 at each irreducible character, are topologically conjugate by an orientation preserving homeomorphism if and only if their oriented local representations at the corresponding fixed points are linearly equivalent.

    Notes: Abstract The stability theorem states that the suspension map C(M) → C(M X I) defined on the pseudoisotopy space C(M)=Diff(M X I rel M X O U ∂M X I) of a compact smooth n-manifold M is ∼ n/3-connected. This implies that C(M) has the R~ n/3-homotopy type of the stable pseudoisotopy space P(M) which is related to Waldhausen's algebraic K-theory of spaces by Waldhausen's formula A(X) Ω∞S∞(X+) X B2P(X). This paper gives a detailed proof of the smooth stability theorem following ideas by Hatcher for the proof of a PL stability theorem.

    Notes: Abstract A functorial filtration GL n =S−1L n $$ \supseteq$$ S0L n $$ \supseteq$$ ⋯ $$ \supseteq$$ S i L n $$ \supseteq$$ ⋯ $$ \supseteq$$ E n of the general linear group GL n, n ⩾ 3, is defined and it is shown for any algebra A, which is a direct limit of module finite algebras, that S−1 L n (A)/S0L n (A) is abelian, that S0L n (A) $$ \supseteq$$ S1L n (A) $$ \supseteq$$ ⋯ is a descending central series, and that S i L n (A) = E n(A) whenever i ⩾ the Bass-Serre dimension of A. In particular, the K-functors k 1 S i L n =S i L n /E n are nilpotent for all i ⩾ 0 over algebras of finite Bass-Serre dimension. Furthermore, without dimension assumptions, the canonical homomorphism S i L n (A)/S i+1 L n (A)→S i L n+ 1(A)/S i+1 L n + 1 (A) is injective whenever n ⩾ i + 3, so that one has stability results without stability conditions, and if A is commutative then S0L n (A) agrees with the special linear group SL n (A), so that the functor S0L n generalizes the functor SL n to noncommutative rings. Applying the above to subgroups H of GL n (A), which are normalized by E n(A), one obtains that each is contained in a sandwich GL′ n (A, ρ) $$ \supseteq$$ H $$ \supseteq$$ E n(A, ρ) for a unique two-sided ideal ρ of A and there is a descending S0L n (A)-central series GL′ n (A, ρ) $$ \supseteq$$ S0L n (A, ρ) $$ \supseteq$$ S1L n (A, ρ) $$ \supseteq$$ ⋯ $$ \supseteq$$ S i L n (A, ρ) $$ \supseteq$$ ⋯ $$ \supseteq$$ E n(A, ρ) such that S i L n (A, ρ)=E n(A, ρ) whenever i ⩾ Bass-Serre dimension of A.

    Notes: Abstract We prove an existence result for topologically locally flat embeddings of 2-spheres in simply connected 4-manifolds. This topological result is deduced from a splitting theorem for pointed Hermitian modules over a cyclic group ring. A stability result for such modules is also proved. This applies to the isotopy classification of locally flat embeddings.

    Notes: Abstract In determining root distribution of univariate polynomials with real or complex-valued coefficients, the Bistritz tabular form offers a significant computational advantage. Stability studies of two-dimensional (2-D) discrete-time systems involve univariate polynomials possessing parameter-dependent coefficients, where the parameter takes values on the unit circle in the complex plane. This paper investigates the application of Bistritz tabular form in determining stability of 2-D discrete-time systems, and for this purpose we present two algorithms. Both algorithms utilize a recent result that has established the relationship between Schur-Cohn minors and the entries of the Bistritz tabular form corresponding to a given polynomial. A comparison between the use of the modified Jury table and the Bistritz table in stability checking of 2-D discrete-time systems is also presented.

    Notes: Abstract A general acid-base equilibrium theory was proposed to explain the formation and stability of the Bi-2223 phase based on the Lewis acid-base theory, and principle of metallurgical physical chemistry. The acid-base nature of oxide was defined according to the electrostatic force between cation and oxygen anion. A series of experimental facts were systematically explained based on the theory: substitution of Bi for Ca in. the Pb-free 2223 phase, and the effect of substitution of the high-valent cation for Bi3+; oxygen-pressure atmosphere, and the heat-schocking technique on the formation and stability of the 2223 phase.

    Notes: Summary After a review of the existing state of affairs, an improvement is made in the stability theory for solitary-wave solutions of evolution equations of Korteweg-de Vries-type modelling the propagation of small-amplitude long waves. It is shown that the bulk of the solution emerging from initial data that is a small perturbation of an exact solitary wave travels at a speed close to that of the unperturbed solitary wave. This not unexpected result lends credibility to the presumption that the solution emanating from a perturbed solitary wave consists mainly of a nearby solitary wave. The result makes use of the existing stability theory together with certain small refinements, coupled with a new expression for the speed of propagation of the disturbance. The idea behind our result is also shown to be effective in the context of one-dimensional regularized long-wave equations and multidimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

    Notes: Summary A relative equilibrium of a Hamiltonian system with symmetry is a point of phase space giving an evolution which is a one-parameter orbit of the action of the symmetry group of the system. The evolutions of sufficiently small perturbations of a formally stable relative equilibrium are arbitrarily confined to that relative equilibrium's orbit under the isotropy subgroup of its momentum. However, interesting evolution along that orbit, here called drift, does occur. In this article, linearizations of relative equilibria are used to construct a first order perturbation theory explaining drift, and also to determine when the set of relative equilibria near a given relative equilibrium is a smooth symplectic submanifold of phase space.

    Notes: Summary In this paper we rigorously show the existence and smoothness inε of traveling wave solutions to a periodic Korteweg-deVries equation with a Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-type perturbation for sufficiently small values of the perturbation parameterε. The shape and the spectral transforms of these traveling waves are calculated perturbatively to first order. A linear stability theory using squared eigenfunction bases related to the spectral theory of the KdV equation is proposed and carried out numerically. Finally, the inverse spectral transform is used to study the transient and asymptotic stages of the dynamics of the solutions.

    Notes: Summary Contractile actomyosin systems play a central role in the generation of intracellular patterns. Models for pattern formation have benefited greatly from the application of mechanochemical theory. However, investigations of the patterns have been primarily qualitative in nature; the two-dimensional nature of the evolving patterns has not yet been addressed mathematically, nor has the evolution of stable heterogeneous steady-state solutions. We consider these issues, supporting our analytical predictions with numerical simulations in one and two spatial dimensions. We show how, for certain gels, the two and three-dimensional tensor equation which describes a balance of forces can be reduced to a reaction-diffusion equation.

    Notes: Abstract In this article, we consider a two-person game in which the first player picks a row representative matrixM from a nonempty set $$A$$ ofm ×n matrices and a probability distributionx on {1,2,...,m} while the second player picks a column representative matrixN from a nonempty set ℬ ofm ×n matrices and a probability distribution y on 1,2,...,n. This leads to the respective costs ofx t My andx t Ny for these players. We establish the existence of an ɛ-equilibrium for this game under the assumption that $$A$$ and ℬ are bounded. When the sets $$A$$ and ℬ are compact in ℝmxn, the result yields an equilibrium state at which stage no player can decrease his cost by unilaterally changing his row/column selection and probability distribution. The result, when further specialized to singleton sets, reduces to the famous theorem of Nash on bimatrix games.

    Notes: Summary Engineering and physical systems are often modeled as nonlinear differential equations with a vector λ of parameters and operated at a stable equilibrium. However, as the parameters λ vary from some nominal value λ0, the stability of the equilibrium can be lost in a saddle-node or Hopf bifurcation. The spatial relation in parameter space of λ0 to the critical set of parameters at which the stable equilibrium bifurcates determines the robustness of the system stability to parameter variations and is important in applications. We propose computing a parameter vector λ* at which the stable equilibrium bifurcates which is locally closest in parameter space to the nominal parameters λ0. Iterative and direct methods for computing these locally closest bifurcations are described. The methods are extensions of standard, one-parameter methods of computing bifurcations and are based on formulas for the normal vector to hypersurfaces of the bifurcation set. Conditions on the hypersurface curvature are given to ensure the local convergence of the iterative method and the regularity of solutions of the direct method. Formulas are derived for the curvature of the saddle node bifurcation set. The methods are extended to transcritical and pitchfork bifurcations and parametrized maps, and the sensitivity to λ0 of the distance to a closest bifurcation is derived. The application of the methods is illustrated by computing the proximity to the closest voltage collapse instability of a simple electric power system.

    Notes: Abstract We investigate the problem of detecting and assessing, by means of static electrical measurements, damage due to corrosion in a structure. Corrosion damage, which is assumed to occur in an inaccessible part of a specimen, is modelled as material loss. The detection device consists of electrodes which inject DC current and measure voltage potentials in the accessible part of the specimen. The topography of the damaged surface is estimated from the measured data. This research is meant to evaluate if a method based on static electrical measurements has the potential to be developed into a useful nondestructive evaluation tool. We propose computational methods that take the measured data and estimate the unknown damaged surface. The methods are studied in order to understand their properties. Several example calculations from synthetic data are presented. Our findings indicate that such a device has limited resolution. However, it offers several advantages that make it worthwhile to pursue further research.

    Notes: Abstract We modified the isolation procedure of muscle and heart mitochondria. In human muscle, this resulted in a 3.4 fold higher yield of better coupled mitochondria in half the isolation time. In a preparation from rat muscle we studied factors that affected the stability of oxidative phosphorylation (oxphos) and found that it decreased by shaking the preparation on a Vortex machine, by exposure to light and by an increase in storage temperature. The decay was found to be different for each substrate tested. The oxidation of ascorbate was most stable and less sensitive to the treatments. When mitochondria were stored in the dark and the cold, the decrease in oxidative phosphorylation followed first order kinetics. In individual preparations of muscle and heart mitochondria, protection of oxidative phosphorylation was found by adding candidate stabilizers, such as desferrioxamine, lazaroids, taurine, carnitine, phosphocreatine, N-acetylcysteine, Trolox-C and ruthenium red, implying a role for reactive oxygen species and calcium-ions in the in vitro damage at low temperature to oxidative phosphorylation. In heart mitochondria oxphos with pyruvate and palmitoylcarnitine was most labile followed by glutamate, succinate and ascorbate.We studied the effect of taurine, hypotaurine, carnitine, and desferrioxamine on the decay of oxphos with these substrates. 1 mM taurine (n = 6) caused a significant protection of oxphos with pyruvate, glutamate and palmitoylcarnitine, but not with the other substrates. 5 mM L-carnitine (n = 6), 1 mM hypotaurine (n = 3) and 0.1 mM desferrioxamine (n = 3) did not protect oxphos with any of the substrates at a significant level. These experiments were undertaken in the hope that the in vitro stabilizers can be used in future treatment of patients with defects in oxidative phosphorylation. (Mol Cell Biochem 174: 61–66, 1997)

    Notes: Abstract A survey is presented of estimates for a norm of matrix-valued and operator-valued functions obtained by the author. These estimates improve the Gel'fand-Shilov estimate for regular functions of matrices and Carleman's estimates for resolvents of matrices and compact operators. From the estimates for resolvents, the well-known result for spectrum perturbations of self-adjoint operators is extended to quasi-Hermitian operators. In addition, the classical Schur and Brown's inequalities for eigenvalues of matrices are improved. From estimates for the exponential function (semigroups), bounds for solution norms of nonlinear differential equations are derived. These bounds give the stability criteria which make it possible to avoid the construction of Lyapunov functions in appropriate situations.

    Notes: Abstract This paper studies the expected total cost (ETC) criterion for discrete-time Markov control processes on Borel spaces, and possibly unbounded cost-per-stage functions. It presents optimality results which include conditions for a control policy to be ETC-optimal and for the ETC-value function to be a solution of the dynamic programming equation. Conditions are also given for the ETC-value function to be the limit of the α-discounted cost value function as α ↑ 1, and for the Markov control process to be `stable" in the sense of Lagrange and almost surely. In addition, transient control models are fully analized. The paper thus provides a fairly complete, up-dated, survey-like presentation of the ETC criterion for Markov control processes on Borel spaces.

    Notes: Abstract We consider a problem of the dynamics of prey-predator populations suggested by the content of a letter of the biologist Umberto D'Ancona to Vito Volterra. The main feature of the problem is the special type of competition between predators of the same species as well as of different species. Two classes of cases are investigated: a first class in which the behaviour of the predator is ‘blind’ and the second one in which the behaviour is ‘intelligent’. A qualitative analysis of the dynamical systems under consideration is followed by a numerical analysis of the most significant cases.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we study the stability of functional equations that has its origins with S. M. Ulam, who posed the fundamental problem 60 years ago and with D. H. Hyers, who gave the first significant partial solution in 1941. In particular, during the last two decades, the notion of stability of functional equations has evolved into an area of continuing research from both pure and applied viewpoints. Both classical results and current research are presented in a unified and self-contained fashion. In addition, related problems are investigated. Some of the applications deal with nonlinear equations in Banach spaces and complementarity theory.

    Notes: Abstract The relevance of protein phosphorylation, transphosphorylation and binding phenomena in the kinetics of the ATP-induced assembly of cycle-purified microtubule protein from mammalian brain were studied. ATP was able to induce the polymerization of microtubules of normal appearance. However, the assembled structures, were unstable and microtubules depolymerized after achievement of a transitory maximum. Cyclic AMP reduced the amplitude of the polymerization maximum in a concentration-dependent manner, correlating with the stimulation of the endogenous phosphorylation reaction. When microtubule assembly was induced by GTP, in the presence of various concentrations of ATP, the slope of the depolymerization phase was found to depend on the concentration of ATP. Fluoride ion inhibited the endogenous phosphorylation reaction and reduced the disassembly rate, in a concentration-dependent manner. Evidence is also presented indicating that ATP did not bind to phosphocellulose-purified tubulin. These results further contribute to indicate that ATP and cyclic AMP, acting coordinately to control the phosphorylation extent of microtubule proteins are important factors to determine microtubule stability within the cell. Some implications of this mechanism for the regulation by cAMP of the initiation of DNA synthesis and mitosis are considered.

    Notes: Abstract We address the question of the long term coexistence of three interacting species whose dynamics are governed by the ordinary differential equations x i = X i f i (i = 1, 2, 3). In order for any theory in this area to be useful in practice, it must utilize as little information as possible concerning the forms of the f i , in view of the great difficulty of determining these experimentally. Here we obtain, under rather general conditions on the equations, a criterion for judging whether the species will coexist in a biologically realistic manner. This criterion depends only on the behaviour near the one or two species equilibria of the two dimensional subsystems, the behaviour there being relatively easy to examine experimentally. We show that with the exception of one class of cases, which is a generalization of a classical example of May and Leonard [21], invasibility at each such equilibrium suitably interpreted is both necessary and sufficient for a strong form of coexistence to hold. In the exceptional case, a single additional condition at the equilibria is enough to ensure coexistence.

    Notes: Abstract The deterministic dynamics of the classical single-locus multiple-allele model of gametophytic incompatibility is analyzed with the intention to prove the conjecture that the symmetric state (uniform distribution of genotypes) is the only polymorphic equilibrium and that this equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in the interior of the frequency simplex. It is shown that the minimum allelic frequency increases strictly over the generations as long as a uniform allelic distribution is not realized. Hence, the minimum allelic frequency is a Ljapunov function for the invariant set of genotypic frequencies characterized by a uniform allelic distribution. Within this set, the uniform genotypic distribution is approached in an exponential fashion, which proves the assertion. An evolutionary optimization rule associated with the global convergence to the symmetric state is implied by the fact that at this state the overall amount of pollen elimination resulting from incompatible crosses is minimized.

    Notes: Abstract The existence of positive equilibrium solutions of the McKendrick equations for the dynamics of an age-structured population is studied as a bifurcation phenomenon using the inherent net reproductive rate n as a bifurcation parameter. The local existence and uniqueness of a branch of positive equilibria which bifurcates from the trivial (identically zero) solution at the critical value n=1 are proved by implicit function techniques under very mild smoothness conditions on the death and fertility rates as functional of age and population density. This first requires the development of a suitable linear theory. The lowest order terms in the Liapunov-Schmidt expansions are also calculated. This local analysis supplements earlier global bifurcation results of the author. The stability of both the trivial and the positive branch equilibria is studied by means of the principle of linearized stability. It is shown that in general the trivial solution losses stability as n increases through one while the stability of the branch solution is stable if and only if the bifurcation is supercritical. Thus the McKendrick equations exhibit, in the latter case, a standard exchange of stability with regard to equilibrium states as they depend on the inherent net reproductive rate. The derived lower order terms in the Liapunov-Schmidt expansions yield formulas which explicitly relate the direction of bifurcation to properties of the age-specific death and fertility rates as functionals of population density. Analytical and numerical results for some examples are given which illustrate these results.

    Notes: Abstract The Gurtin and Levine model5 is studied in this paper under the assumption that the fecundity of prey depends on age as well as on the total population sizes of prey and predators. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of this density dependence on the stability criteria for the equilibria of the model equations. It is shown that there are cases when, due to density dependence, the model which is originally neutrally stable becomes stable.

    Notes: Abstract The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation u t =u xx +f(u)-w, u t =b(u-dw), is a simplified mathematical description of a nerve axon. If the parameters b〉0 and d⩾0 are taken suitably, this equation has two travelling pulse solutions with different propagation speeds. We study the stability of the fast pulse solution when b〉0 is sufficiently small. It is proved analytically by eigenvalue analysis that the fast pulse solution is “exponentially stable” if d〉0, and is “marginally stable” but not exponentially stable if d=0.

A disgusty of predator for preying upon the pest individuals parasitized is introduced in the model to measure the intensity that the parasite population was controlled by the predator. The persistence and the stability are studied for this system mathematically. And the influence of the disgusty on the persistence of the system is also noticed in biology.

Based on such an interpolation, the pseudospectral scheme is constructed. Its generalized stability and convergence are analyzed rigorously. The theoretical analysis and computational skills can also be applied to other nonlinear partial differential equations defined on spherical surface.

    Notes: Abstract We describe an automatic cubature algorithm for functions that have a singularity on the surface of the integration region. The algorithm combines an adaptive subdivision strategy with extrapolation. The extrapolation uses a non-uniform subdivision that can be directly incorporated into the subdivision strategy used for the adaptive algorithm. The algorithm is designed to integrate a vector function over ann-dimensional rectangular region and a FORTRAN implementation is included.

The algorithm also applies to the solution of the full-rank Toeplitz or Hankel least squares problem min ||Ax-b||2.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we study several interpolating and smoothing methods for data which are known “progressively”. The algorithms proposed are governed by recurrence relations and our principal goal is to study their stability. A recurrence relation will be said stable if the spectral radius of the associated matrix is less than one. The iteration matrices depend on shape parameters which come either from the connection at the knots, or from the nature of the interpolant between two knots. We obtain various stability domains. Moving the parameters inside these domains leads to interesting shape effects.

    Notes: Abstract A second-order accurate numerical method has been proposed for the solution of a coupled non-linear oscillator featuring in chemical kinetics. Although implicit by construction, the method enables the solution of the model initial-value problem (IVP) to be computed explicitly. The second-order method is constructed by taking a linear combination of first-order methods. The stability analysis of the system suggests the existence of a Hopf bifurcation, which is confirmed by the numerical method. Both the critical point of the continuous system and the fixed point of the numerical method will be seen to have the same stability properties. The second-order method is more competitive in terms of numerical stability than some well-known standard methods (such as the Runge–Kutta methods of order two and four).

    Notes: Abstract Multistep methods for the differential/algebraic equations (DAEs) in the form of $$F_1 (x) = 0, F_2 (x,x',z) = 0$$ are presented, whereF 1 maps from ℝ n to ℝ ′ ,F 2 from ℝ n x ℝ n x ℝ m to ℝ s andr〈n≤r+s=n+m. By employing the deviations of the available existence theories, a new form of the multistep method for solutions of (1) is developed. Furthermore, it is shown that this method has no typical instabilities such as those that may occur in the application of multistep method to DAEs in the traditional manner. A proof of the solvability of the multistep system is provided, and an iterative method is developed for solving these nonlinear algebraic equations. Moreover, a proof of the convergence of this iterative method is presented.

    Notes: Summary The aim of this study was to design a parenteral dosage form for the investigational cytotoxic drag carzelesin. A stable formulation in PET (Polyethylene glycol 400/absolute ethanol/Tween 80, 6:3:1, v/v/v) was developed. The prototype, containing 0.50 mg carzelesin in 2.0 ml PET formulation, was found to be the optimal formulation in terms of solubility, stability and dosage requirements in phase I clinical trials. Quality control of the formulation showed that the pharmaceutical preparation of carzelesin in PET is not negatively influenced by the manufacturing process. Shelf life studies demonstrated that the formulation is stable for at least 1 year, when stored at −30°C in the dark. In addition, the stability of carzelesin in the PET formulation is discussed as a function of temperature, additives and after dilution in infusion fluids.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this study was to develop a stable parenteral dosage form for the investigational cytotoxic drug [Arg6, D-Trp7,9, MePhe8]-Substance P {6-11} (Substance P Antagonist G; Antagonist G). Antagonist G bulk drug was structurally and analytically characterized. The drug exhibits excellent aqueous solubility, although relatively poor aqueous stability characteristics. Lyophilization was, therefore, selected as the manufacturing process. Differential scanning calorimetry studies were conducted to determine the freeze-drying cycle parameters which resulted in a stable, lyophilized formulation of Antagonist G. The prototype, containing 50 mg Antagonist G per vial, was found to be the optimal formulation in terms of solubility, length of the freeze-drying cycle, stability, and dosage requirements in the planned phase I clinical trials. Quality control of the freeze-dried formulation showed that the manufacturing process does not change the integrity of Antagonist G. Shelf life studies demonstrated that the formulation is stable for at least 3 years, when stored at 2–8°C in a dark environment. Oxidative degradation products of Antagonist G were isolated and structurally characterized by mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy.

The standard nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) system for natural frequencies and critical load is given by use of ODE techniques, and then any indicated eigenvalue could be obtained directly from ODE solver by employing the so-called initial eigenfunction technique instead of the mode orthogonality condition. Numerical examples show that the present method is very effective and reliable.

Using perturbation technique obtains conditions of existence and stability for linear and nonlinear periodic solutions. For linear periodic solution in infinitesimal motion, the existence range of monotomic branch and oscillatory branch are outilined. The oscillatory branch of nonlinear periodic solution in finite-amplitude motion has unstable periodic solution when μ is smaller than critical value µ c in this case of 0〈rs-rsc≪1. The stability conclusions under different direction of vortex are drawn out.

    Notes: Abstract The general approach for solving the nonlinear equations is linearizing the equations and forming various iterative procedures, then executing the numerical simulation. For the strongly nonlinear problems, the solution obtained in the iterative process is always difficult, even divergent due to the numerical instability. It can not fulfill the engineering requirements. Newton's method and its variants can not settle this problem. As a result, the application of numerical simulation for the strongly nonlinear problems is limited. An auto-adjustable damping method has been presented in this paper. This is a further improvement of Newton's method with damping factor. A set of vector of damping factor is introduced. This set of vector can be adjusted continuously during the iterative process in accordance with the judgement and adjustment. An effective convergence coefficient and quichening coefficient are employed to relax the restricted requirements for the initial values and to shorten the iterative process. Then, the numerical stability will be ensured for the solution of complicated strongly nonlinear equations. Using this method, some complicated strongly nonlinear heat transfer problems in airplanes and aeroengines have been numerically simulated successfully. It can be used for the numerical simulation of strongly nonlinear problems in engineering such as nonlinear hydrodynamics and aerodynamics, heat transfer and structural dynamic response etc.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, the disturbances to a uniformly rotating ideal fluid with a sphere moving steadily along the axis of rotation are analysed by using linearization theory, the equations of disturbance, pressure and disturbance stream function governing the stability of motion are derived based on the assumption that the flow is rotational symmetric. The equation of disturbance stream function is analysed with the method of normal modes, and the constraints on wave number and wave velocity of the nontrivial neutral disturbances are established and the exact expression of the neutral disturbances are obtained. The conclusion is drawn that three are three kinds of possible forms of neutral disturbances.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, using the differentiability of the solution with respect to the initial value and the parameter, we present a method which, different from Liapunov's direct method, will determine the stability of the non-stationary solution of the initial value problem when the non-stationary solution remains unknown.

    Notes: Abstract A computation algorithm based on the Poincaré Mapping in combination with Pseudo-Arc Length Continuation Method is presented for calculating the unstable response with saddle-node bifurcation, and the singularity, which occurs using the general continuation method combined with Poincaré Mapping to follow the path, is also proved. A normalization equation can be introduced to avoid the singularity in the process of iteration, and a new iteration algorithm will be presented too. There will be two directions in which the path can be continued at each point, but only one can be used. The method of determining the direction will be presented in the paper. It can be concluded that is method is effective in analysis of nonlinear dynamic system with saddle-node bifurcations.

By using the Laplace transformation, stability conditions of viscoelastic shell under constant loads are yielded. By using synthetically the classical dynamic methods, the various dynamical properties for the dynamical system defined by the viscoelastic shell and the effect of parameters on the stability of structure are obtained.

    Notes: Abstract Recently it has been shown that the conventional notions of stability in the sense of Lyapunov and asymptotic stability can be used to characterize the stability properties of a class of “logical” discrete event systems (DES). Moreover, it has been shown that stability analysis via the choice of appropriate Lyapunov functions can be used for DES and can be applied to several DES applications including manufacturing systems and computer networks (Passino et al. 1994, Burgess and Passino 1994). In this paper we extend the conventional notions and analysis of uniform boundedness, uniform ultimate boundedness, practical stability, finite time stability, and Lagrange stability so that they apply to the class of logical DES that can be defined on a metric space. Within this stability-theoretic framework we show that the standard Petri net-theoretic notions of boundedness are special cases of Lagrange stability and uniform boundedness. In addition we show that the Petri ent-theoretic approach to boundedness analysis is actually a Lyapunov approach in that the net-theoretic analysis actually produces an appropriate Lyapunov function. Moreover, via the Lyapunov approach we provide a sufficient condition for the uniform ultimate boundedness of General Petri nets. To illustrate the Petri net results, we study the boundedness properties of a rate synchronization network for manufacturing systems. In addition, we provide a detailed analysis of the Lagrange stability of a single-machine manufacturing system that uses a priority-based part servicing policy.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, timed Petri nets are used to model and control hybrid systems. Petri nets are used instead of finite automata primarily because of the advantages they offer in dealing with concurrency and complexity issues. A brief overview of existing results on hybrid systems that are based on Petri nets is first presented. A class of timed Petri nets named programmable timed Petri nets (PTPN) is then used to model hybrid systems. Using the PTPN, the stability and supervisory control of hybrid systems are addressed and efficient algorithms are introduced. In particular, we present sufficient conditions for the uniform ultimate boundness of hybrid systems composed of multiple linear time invariant plants which are switched between using a logical rule described by a Petri net. This paper also examines the supervisory control of a hybrid system in which the continuous state is transfered to a region of the state space in a way that respects safety specifications on the plant's discrete and continuous dynamics.

    Notes: Abstract This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of the stochastic dynamics of discrete event systems. In this paper we focus on a wide class of models arising in several fields and particularly in computer science. This class of models may be characterized by stochastic recurrence equations in ℝK of the form T(n+1) = φ n+1(T(n)) where φ n is a random operator monotone and 1—linear. We establish that the behaviour of the extremas of the process T(n) are linear. The results are an application of the sub-additive ergodic theorem of Kingman. We also give some stability properties of such sequences and a simple method of estimating the limit points.

    Notes: Abstract We present some new results which definitively explain thebehavior of the classical, heuristic nonlinear relaxation labelingalgorithm of Rosenfeld, Hummel, and Zucker in terms of theHummel-Zucker consistency theory and dynamical systems theory. Inparticular, it is shown that, when a certain symmetry condition is met,the algorithm possesses a Liapunov function which turns out to be (thenegative of) a well-known consistency measure. This follows almostimmediately from a powerful result of Baum and Eagon developed in thecontext of Markov chain theory. Moreover, it is seen that most of theessential dynamical properties of the algorithm are retained when thesymmetry restriction is relaxed. These properties are also shown tonaturally generalize to higher-order relaxation schemes. Someapplications and implications of the presented results are finallyoutlined.

    Notes: Abstract Based on some practical engineering problems arising from process control and space-structure control, this paper studies a class of hybrid dynamic systems in which N plants are controlled by a central controller in sharing time manner, where the plants are described by differential equations and the controller works according to the mechanism of discrete events. An event feedback strategy is suggested to be a scheduling policy such that one and only one plant among N plants is chosen to be controlled at any time. Some conditions of asymptotical and exponential stability are then given and an exponential upper bound of states norm is also estimated for the event feedback scheduling strategy. An algorithm based on event feedback strategy is presented to determine the control laws of the plants to meet the given performance. An example follows to illustrate the application and effect of the results.

    Notes: Abstract Sharifnia, Caramanis, and Gershwin [1991] introduced a class of policies for manufacturing systems, called by themlinear corridor policies. They proved that their stability can be discussed by the study of a simpler subset of such policies (cone policies). This paper revisits their work presenting a different description of the dynamics of the systems under study and explores it to device a necessary and sufficient condition for stability, obtained by the strengthening of the assumptions in Sharifnia et al. (1991). This condition is shown to be simply tested (M −1≥0) and valid for various realizations.

    Notes: Abstract The problem of the stability and adaptability of regulatory processes is considered, taking as a point of departure N. P. Bekhtereva's theory regarding stable pathological states, and inflexible and adaptable links in control systems. The need to introduce a probabilistic approach is emphasized. Generalizations are made on materials relating to the connectability of the separate components of the biorhythms of functional systems, and to the stability of their amplitude-frequency characteristics. The corpus of facts permitted the successful development in clinical practice of functional biocontrol and feedback.

    Notes: Abstract A new family of high order Sigma Delta modulators called MSCL (Multi Stage Closed-loop) is presented in this paper. They use a global feedback to lower the sensitivity to circuit imperfections. This feedback from the output of the modulator is the sum of the output of each comparator so that no digital prefiltering is required before summing up these signals. However, easy calibration will be required to compensate for the feedback imperfections. MSCL modulators present the same insensitivity to circuit imperfections as classical multi-order one-bit converters, but reach the performance of high-order MASH (MultistAge noise SHaping) modulators. They help make high-order low-pass or band-pass modulators without limit cycles so that their quantizing noise characteristics are similar to those predicted by the linear simplified model.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we consider a boundary control problem for a forced Burgers' equation in a Hilbert state space consisting of square integrable functions on a finite interval. Our first main result consists in proving the global in time existence of solutions of the closed loop boundary control system for arbitrary L 2 initial data and quite general forcing terms (disturbances). For the unforced problem, our main interest is in stability of equilibria, while for the forced problem we are interested in steady state behavior of solutions. We note that the uncontrolled (open loop), unforced problem is not asymptotically stable on L 2. However, for positive gains we show that the unforced closed loop system is globally Lyapunov stable and locally exponentially stable. In addition, for nonzero stationary forcing, we show that there is a local absorbing ball and that the corresponding nonlinear semigroup is compact for all t 〉 0. Using this fact, we are able to deduce several consequences regarding the existence and properties of local attractors. Our method of proof is based on a systematic investigation of the smoothing properties of the controlled dynamics. In particular we establish various regularity results for the dynamics of the closed loop system.

    Notes: Abstract Robust control designs for a discrete Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model are proposed. The T-S fuzzy model contains (possibly fast) time-varying uncertainty. First, a switching-type robust control is shown to stabilize the T-S fuzzy model asymptotically. Second, a saturation-type robust control is shown to render the T-S model practically stable. In both designs, only the bound of uncertainty is needed. The effectiveness of proposed designs is analyzed rigorously and illustrated by simulations.

With this system, we associate the system averaged over fast time. We assume that the averaged system has a structurally unstable periodic solution. We prove a theorem on the existence and stability of almost periodic solutions of the original system.

We give conditions under which every solution of the singularly perturbed inclusion is close, in a certain sense and for a sufficiently small ɛ, to a solution of the degenerate inclusion obtained for ɛ=0. These conditions include both stability and structural requirements (the later having no counterpart in the case of a differential equation). The main result obtained generalizes the well-known Tikhonov theorem for singularly perturbed differential equations.

The main hypothesis is that for all y from some bounded domain D, the fast subsystem has a stable invariant or overflowing manifold M 0(y) and that the motions in this system going in the directions transversal to M 0(y) are more fast than the mutual approaching of trajectories on M 0(y) (a precise statement is given in terms of appropriate Lyapunov-type characteristic numbers). It is proved that for a sufficiently small ε, the whole system has an invariant manifold close to $$\bigcup\limits_{y \in D} {M_0 (y) \times \{ y\}}$$ the degree of its smoothness is specifed.

    Notes: Abstract Mechanical systems subjected to dissipative, gyroscopic, conservative, and also nonconservative positional forces are considered. The question of the effect of dissipative, gyroscopic, and conservative forces on the motion stability of a mechanical systems is determined by classical Kelvin–Chetaev theorems [1]. The presence of nonconservative positional forces considerably complicates the situation and excludes direct application of these theorems. Applying Lyapunov's functions method the condition of asymptotic stability of a mechanical system under the action of all listed above forces is obtained. Moreover, the estimation of the attraction domain in phase space is found. The precession system which is used in the solution of some problems in the applied theory of the gyroscopic systems is also examined. The connection between the stability of origin and precession systems is detected. Theoretical results are applied to the stabilization problem of stationary motion of the balanced gimbal suspension gyro by means of external moments.

    Notes: Abstract Because many optimal control problems require solution using iterative procedures they fall naturally in the realm of 2-D systems where the two dimensions are response time horizon and iteration index, respectively. The paper uses this observation to employ 2-D systems theory, in the form of unit memory repetitive process techniques, to analyse local stability and convergence behaviour of a continuous optimal control algorithm based on dynamic system optimisation and parameter estimation. Existing work is extended to incorporate unmatched terminal constraints. Necessary and sufficient conditions for stability are obtained whose evaluation require the solution of a difficult eigenvalue problem. The paper shows how solutions can be achieved using numerical and graphical facilities of MATLAB.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we discussthe jump behavior and stability problems for 2-D linear shift-invariantsingular systems under the standard boundary conditions. It isshown that once a boundary condition or the input is inadmissiblein the classical sense, a group of non-causal or backward jumpsof the system states will be incited. This interpretation releasesthe conventional admissibility constraints on the boundary conditionsand inputs. Based on this observation, a systematic stabilitytheory is developed for 2-D singular systems. The well-knownbasic stability theorem for the 1-D singular systems or 2-D regularsystems is thus extended to the 2-D singular case.

    Notes: Abstract Repetitive, or multipass, processes are a class of 2D systems characterized by a recursive action with interaction between successive outputs or pass profiles. This interpass interaction is the source of the unique control problem for these processes in that it can cause the output sequence to exhibit oscillations which increase in amplitude from pass to pass. Previous work has developed an abstract stability theory and applied it to subclasses, such as discrete nonunit memory linear processes which are considered here, to produce basic stability tests. This article begins by reviewing the known stability tests and concludes that, at best, they only produce highly qualitative indicators of relative stability and performance. Hence, unlike (say) Bode and Nyquist tests for standard linear systems, they are of limited appeal as a basis for computer-aided control systems design. To remove this difficulty, step response data is used to develop new simulation-based tests which yield, at no extra cost, unique computable performance measures. Further, the undoubted advantages of having such measures available is clearly shown by developing a (virtually) complete solution to controller design for one subclass.

    Notes: Abstract A simple geometric test can be applied to evaluateG-stability of a polytope of matrices. In case of a regionG being a convex subset of the complex plane, it suffices to assume that four (for some regions even less) corner points of a certain rectangle are contained inG.

    Notes: Abstract The recent interest in delta-operator (or, δ-operator) formulated discrete-time systems (or, δ-systems) is due mainly to (a) their superior finite wordlength characteristics as compared to their more conventional shift-operator (or,q-operator) counterparts (or,q-systems), and (b) the possibility of a more unified treatment of both continuous- and discrete-time systems. With such advantages, design, analysis, and implementation of two-dimensional (2-D) discrete-time systems using the δ-operator is indeed warranted. Towards this end, the work in this paper addresses the development of an easily implementabledirect algorithm for stability checking of 2-D δ-system transfer function models.Indirect methods that utilize transformation techniques are not pursued since they can be numerically unreliable. In developing such an algorithm, a tabular form for stability checking of δ-system characteristic polynomials with complex-valued coefficients and certain quantities that may be regarded as their corresponding Schur-Cohn minors are also proposed.

    Notes: Abstract We analyse here the equations of motion of a planar body consisting of a rigid body with attached flexible rod. These equations take the form of coupled ordinary and partial differential equations. We analyse the equations both with and without centrifugal stiffening effects. Using the ‘energy-momentum’ method, we analyse nonlinear stability of the equilibria in each case. We also analyse the Hamiltonian and Poisson bracket structure of the system as well as the energy-momentum map and associated relative equilibria.

A key idea is the interpretation of Hausdorff measure as an analogue of a Lyapunov function.

While finding a feasible starting point, the algorithm reduces the program to an equivalent program for which Slater's condition is satisfied. Included are algorithms for calculating various objects which have recently appeared in the literature. Stability of the algorithm is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Decision-making problems with multiple noncommensurable objectives are specified by two factors, i.e., the set of all feasible solutions and the domination structure. The solutions are characterized as nondominated points. Hence, in these problems, there may exist two parameter vectors, according to which the above two factors change. The stability of the solution set for perturbations of these parameters is investigated in this paper. The analysis is guided by using the concept of continuity of the solution map defined on the two parameter spaces.

    Notes: Abstract Sufficient conditions for the existence of optimal trajectories and for the global asymptotic stability of these trajectories are given for a class of nonconvex and nonautonomous systems controlled over an infinite-time horizon. The concept ofG-supported trajectory is introduced. It is shown that, under some assumptions, aG-supported trajectory is overtaking and is globally asymptotically stable. The concept of overtaking trajectory has been previously defined as a notion of optimality on an infinite-time domain. For autonomous systems, under weaker conditions, one guarantees the existence of weakly overtaking trajectories. Finally, it is shown howG-supported trajectories can be obtained, and an application to the study of a pre-predator ecosystem optimally harvested is sketched.

    Notes: Abstract Stability results are given for a class of feedback systems arising from the regulation of time-varying discrete-time systems using optimal infinite-horizon and moving-horizon feedback laws. The class is characterized by joint constraints on the state and the control, a general nonlinear cost function and nonlinear equations of motion possessing two special properties. It is shown that weak conditions on the cost function and the constraints are sufficient to guarantee uniform asymptotic stability of both the optimal infinite-horizon and moving-horizon feedback systems. The infinite-horizon cost associated with the moving-horizon feedback law approaches the optimal infinite-horizon cost as the moving horizon is extended.

It also establishes results on the continuity and differentiability of the optimal objective value of the program as a function of a parameter specifying the magnitude of the perturbation. The results established herein directly generalize well-known results on the stability of linear programs.

    Notes: Abstract An important (some say, the major) reason for using feedback control is the presence of uncertain parameters which are a natural part of any real dynamical model. In this paper, we consider uncertain constant parameters in a time-invariant linear plant and announce some new results concerning robust compensator synthesis. Using the min-max principle, we derive necessary conditions for fixed-order linear robust controllers assuring asymptotic stability or relative stability. These necessary conditions are an extension of the Lagrange multiplier method. This is achieved using a cost function based on the inverse of the so-called critical constraint. We present both matrix and polynomial versions; the latter allows controllers of fixed structure. We suggest a probability-one homotopy algorithm and solve some examples from the literature.

Properties of these models are studied and then the Kalman filtering method is applied. The accuracy of the models on the basis of two different situations, deterministic or random inputs, is studied by means of a simulation of a Brownian motion.

    Notes: Abstract We present necessary conditions of optimality for an infinitehorizon optimal control problem. The transversality condition is derived with the help of stability theory and is formulated in terms of the Lyapunov exponents of solutions to the adjoint equation. A problem without an exponential factor in the integral functional is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality are proved for linear quadratic problems with conelike control constraints.

    Notes: Abstract Optimal control problems with nonlinear equations usually do not possess optimal solutions, so that their natural (i.e., continuous) extension (relaxation) must be done. The relaxed problem may also serve to derive first-order necessary optimality condition in the form of the Pontryagin maximum principle. This is done here for nonlinear Fredholm integral equations and problems coercive in an L p-space of controls with p〈+∞. Results about a continuous extension of the Uryson operator play a key role.

    Notes: Abstract The paper contains an introduction to recent developments in the theory of non-preemptive stochastic scheduling problems. The topics covered are: arbitrary joint distributions of activity durations, arbitrary regular measures of performance and arbitrary precedence and resource constraints. The possible instability of the problem is demonstrated and hints are given on stable classes of strategies available, including the combinatorial vs. analytical characterization of such classes. Given this background, the main emphasis of the paper is on the monotonicity behaviour of the model and on the existence of optimal strategies. Existing results are presented and generalized, in particular w.r.t. the cases of lower semicontinuous performance measures or joint duration distributions having a Lebesgue density.

    Notes: Abstract The paper introduces the finite class of set strategies for stochastic scheduling problems. It is shown that the knownstable classes of strategies such as ES and MES strategies are of this type, as arelist-scheduling strategies such as LEPT and SEPT and other, more complicatedpriority-type strategies. Roughly speaking, set strategies are characterized by the fact that the decision as to which jobs should be started at timet depends only on the knowledge of the two sets of jobs finished up to timet and being processed at timet. Contrary to list scheduling strategies, set strategies may involve deliberate idleness of machines, i.e. may not be greedy and can therefore not generally be induced by priority rules. It is demonstrated that set strategies have useful properties. They are e.g.λ n -almost everywhere continuous and therefore show satisfactorystability behaviour w.r.t. weak convergence of the joint distribution of job durations. Furthermore, the optimum w.r.t.all strategies is already attained on this class if job durations are independent and exponentially distributed and the performance measure fulfills a certainshift condition. This shift property is a quite natural concept and generalizes aspects of the notion ofadditivity in semi-Markov decision theory and stochastic dynamic optimization. Its complete analytical characterization is a major object of this paper. Typical additive cost criteria such as makespan and flowtime are of course covered, which yields simultaneously a first step towards generalization of optimality of LEPT and SEPT rules, as known for special cases. In fact, in view of the obtained optimality result, the question of when deliberate idleness of machines can be avoided, gains considerable interest, as it characterizes stochastic environments in whichpriority strategies are optimal. This provides a major link with current research on the analysis of networks of queues in the context of computer systems.

    Notes: Summary The stability of the potential antitumour agent 2,5-diaziridinyl-3,6-bis(2-hydroxyethylamino)-1,4-benzoquinone (BZQ; NSC 224070) has been investgated by high-performance liquid chromatography. At 22°C in 0.05M buffer, BZQ was most stable at pH 9 with an apparent first-order rate constant (k) of about 0.014 h−11. There was reduced stability at pH values above and below 9.0. At a pH of 3 and 12 the values of k were 38 and 0.3 h−1, respectively. Stability of BZQ was adversely affected by increased temperatures (above 0°C), increased buffer concentration and light. Solutions of BZQ could not be frozen for any length of time, as the drug precipitated out in a form that would not redissolve (possibly a polymer). For parenteral administration to patients, it is suggested that BZQ would be most stable in 1.26% sodium bicarbonate solution when at room temperature, under normal laboratory lighting, 5% of the drug degraded (t0.95) in 5.5 h. Increased stability is obtainable in this medium by refrigeration and vigorous exclusion of light. Long term (24 h) infusions of BZQ could be considered in hypotonic sodium bicarbonate (30 mM) with careful exclusion of light as long as the volume of the infusion was small, e.g. 1 ml/h. Under these conditions to.95 was 42 h at 21.5°C.

    Notes: Abstract The long-term stability of high-level expression is the mostimportant factor to consider when choosing cell lines for the expression of recombinant proteins. Declining volumetricyields in large-scale fermentation can be caused by changes affecting the cell population as a whole such as loss in viability, depletion of nutrients or accumulation of metabolites affecting cell growth. Alternatively, geneticinstability may lead to the outgrowth of a less productive,metabolically favored sub-population. Currently a variety ofparameters are measured to monitor the condition of cells infermenters including glucose uptake, lactate accumulation andoxygen consumption; in addition, periodic viable cell countsallow the determination of the growth rate and viability of the population. All of these methods measure the condition ofthe cell population as a whole and changes must involve a significantly large proportion of the total culture in orderto be detectable. Here we report on a method that allows theevaluation of the productivity of individual cells. Using the gel microdrop secretion assay, we detected the appearance ofa sub-population of cells with lower productivity. Subsequentanalysis of the culture confirmed the existence of lower productivity cells with a lower vector copy number. Therefore,the single cell secretion assay proved to be a rapid method todetect and isolate a low productivity variant of the producer cell line.
