The exponential of a Metzler (or quasipositive) matrix is a nonnegative matrix because of the corresponding property for the exponential of a nonnegative matrix. This is natural, once one observes that the generator matrices of continuous-time Markov chains are always Metzler matrices, and that probability distributions are always non-negative.
The Lyapunov equation, named after the Russian mathematician Aleksandr Lyapunov, is a matrix equation used in the stability analysis of linear dynamical systems. [1] [2]In particular, the discrete-time Lyapunov equation (also known as Stein equation) for is
Given a linear time-invariant (LTI) system represented by a nonsingular matrix , the relative gain array (RGA) is defined as = = (). where is the elementwise Hadamard product of the two matrices, and the transpose operator (no conjugate) is necessary even for complex .
An exponentially stable LTI system is one that will not "blow up" (i.e., give an unbounded output) when given a finite input or non-zero initial condition. Moreover, if the system is given a fixed, finite input (i.e., a step ), then any resulting oscillations in the output will decay at an exponential rate , and the output will tend ...
Von Neumann stability analysis is a commonly used procedure for the stability analysis of finite difference schemes as applied to linear partial differential equations. These results do not hold for nonlinear PDEs, where a general, consistent definition of stability is complicated by many properties absent in linear equations.
In the former case, the orbit is called stable; in the latter case, it is called asymptotically stable and the given orbit is said to be attracting. An equilibrium solution f e {\displaystyle f_{e}} to an autonomous system of first order ordinary differential equations is called:
Stable polynomials arise in control theory and in mathematical theory of differential and difference equations. A linear, time-invariant system (see LTI system theory) is said to be BIBO stable if every bounded input produces bounded output. A linear system is BIBO stable if its characteristic polynomial is stable.
For a rational and continuous-time system, the condition for stability is that the region of convergence (ROC) of the Laplace transform includes the imaginary axis.When the system is causal, the ROC is the open region to the right of a vertical line whose abscissa is the real part of the "largest pole", or the pole that has the greatest real part of any pole in the system.
