On the Robust Stability of 2D Schur Polynomials

In this note, the problem of the robust stability for a two-dimensional (two-variable) Schur polynomial which is the characteristic polynomial of a discrete-time linear time-invariant system is investigated. A new approach based on the Rouché theorem is adopted. The extension to the robust stability for multidimensional (multivariable) polynomials is also provided. Interesting sufficient conditions for such robust stability are derived. A two-dimensional example is included to support the theoretical result.     

Linearizability of planar polynomial Hamiltonian systems

Isochronicity and linearizability of two-dimensional polynomial Hamiltonian systems are revisited and new results are presented. We give a new computational procedure to obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the linearization of a polynomial system. Using computer algebra systems we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for linearizability of Hamiltonian systems with homogeneous non-linearities of degrees 5, 6 and 7. We also present some sufficient conditions for systems with nonhomogeneous nonlinearities of degrees two, three and five.     

Polynomial stability of positive switched homogeneous systems with time delay

Based on the logarithm contraction average dwell-time method, this paper investigates the polynomial stability of positive switched homogeneous time-delay systems whose vector fields are of different degrees with respect to a dilation map. Using the analytical skills developed in positive systems, an explicit polynomial stability criterion is established for the first time for the involved system under the logarithm contraction average dwell-time switching. Moreover, the main result is applied to the polynomial stability of Persidskii-type switched systems.     

Exponential stability of discrete-time systems with slowly time-varying delays

Slowly time-varying delays are seldom, but do need to be, considered in the context of discrete-time systems. This paper addresses the exponential stability issue of discrete-time systems with slowly time-varying delays. The basic idea is to transform, by utilizing the switching transformation approach, the original system with slowly time-varying delays into an equivalent switched system with special switching signal. Different types of delays correspond to different types of switching signals, and the stability issue of the original system is converted into that of a switched system. It is the first time that the method of switched homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov function is applied to general delayed systems. Some sufficient exponential stability conditions for the original system are proposed in several situations. It is numerically shown that the conservativeness of the proposed conditions reduces as the degree of the switched homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov function increases.     

Characterization of isolated homogeneous hypersurface singularities in C~4 Dedicated to Professor Sheng GONG on the occasion of his 75th birthday

Let V be a hypersurface with an isolated singularity at the origin in Cn 1. It is a natural question to ask when V is defined by weighted homogeneous polynomial or homogeneous polynomial up to biholomorphic change of coordinates. In 1971, a beautiful theorem of Saito gives a necessary and sufficient condition for V to be defined by a weighted homogeneous polynomial. For a two-dimensional isolated hypersurface singularity V, Xu and Yau found a coordinate free characterization for V to be defined by a homogeneous polynomial. Recently Lin and Yau gave necessary and sufficient conditions for a 3-dimensional isolated hypersurface singularity with geometric genus bigger than zero to be defined by a homogeneous polynomial. The purpose of this paper is to prove that Lin-Yau's theorem remains true for singularities with geometric genus equal to zero.

Sixteen large-amplitude limit cycles in a septic system

In this paper, bifurcation of limit cycles from the infinity of a two-dimensional septic polynomial differential system is investigated. Sufficient and necessary conditions for the infinity to be a center are derived and the fact that there exist 16 large amplitude limit cycles bifurcated from the infinity is proved as well. The study relays on making use of a recursive formula for computing the singular point quantities of the infinity. As far as we know, this is the first example of a septic system with 16 limit cycles bifurcated from the infinity.

Polynomial stability of semigroups generated by operator matrices

In this paper, we study the stability properties of strongly continuous semigroups generated by block operator matrices. We consider triangular and full operator matrices whose diagonal operator blocks generate polynomially stable semigroups. As our main results, we present conditions under which also the semigroup generated by the operator matrix is polynomially stable. The theoretical results are used to derive conditions for the polynomial stability of a system consisting of a two-dimensional and a one-dimensional damped wave equation.     

Poincaré series and monodromy of a two-dimensional quasihomogeneous hypersurface singularity

A relation is proved between the Poincaré series of the coordinate algebra of a two-dimensional quasihomogeneous isolated hypersurface singularity and the characteristic polynomial of its monodromy operator. For a Kleinian singularity not of type A _{2 n} , this amounts to the statement that the Poincaré series is the quotient of the characteristic polynomial of the Coxeter element by the characteristic polynomial of the affine Coxeter element of the corresponding root system. We show that this result also follows from the McKay correspondence. Received: Received: 25 October 2001 / Revised version: 19 November 2001

Hexagonal Fourier-Galerkin Methods for the Two-Dimensional Homogeneous Isotropic Decaying Turbulence

In this paper, we propose two hexagonal Fourier-Galerkin methods for the direct numerical simulation of the two-dimensional homogeneous isotropic decaying turbulence. We first establish the lattice Fourier analysis as a mathematical foundation. Then a universal approximation scheme is devised for our hexagonal Fourier-Galerkin methods for Navier-Stokes equations. Numerical experiments mainly concentrate on the decaying properties and the self-similar spectra of the two-dimensional homogeneous turbulence at various initial Reynolds numbers with an initial flow field governed by a Gaussian-distributed energy spectrum. Numerical results demonstrate that both the hexagonal Fourier-Galerkin methods are as efficient as the classic square Fourier-Galerkin method, while provide more effective statistical physical quantities in general.     

The Complexity of Computing the Hilbert Polynomial of Smooth Equidimensional Complex Projective Varieties

We continue the study of counting complexity begun in [13], [14], [15] by proving upper and lower bounds on the complexity of computing the Hilbert polynomial of a homogeneous ideal. We show that the problem of computing the Hilbert polynomial of a smooth equidimensional complex projective variety can be reduced in polynomial time to the problem of counting the number of complex common zeros of a finite set of multivariate polynomials. The reduction is based on a new formula for the coefficients of the Hilbert polynomial of a smooth variety. Moreover, we prove that the more general problem of computing the Hilbert polynomial of a homogeneous ideal is polynomial space hard. This implies polynomial space lower bounds for both the problems of computing the rank and the Euler characteristic of cohomology groups of coherent sheaves on projective space, improving the #P-lower bound in Bach [1].     

The loop quantities and bifurcations of homoclinic loops

The stability and bifurcations of a homoclinic loop for planar vector fields are closely related to the limit cycles. For a homoclinic loop of a given planar vector field, a sequence of quantities, the homoclinic loop quantities were defined to study the stability and bifurcations of the loop. Among the sequence of the loop quantities, the first nonzero one determines the stability of the homoclinic loop. There are formulas for the first three and the fifth loop quantities. In this paper we will establish the formula for the fourth loop quantity for both the single and double homoclinic loops. As applications, we present examples of planar polynomial vector fields which can have five or twelve limit cycles respectively in the case of a single or double homoclinic loop by using the method of stability-switching.

Two-dimensional homogeneous cubic systems: Classification and normal forms–III

This article is the third in a series of works devoted to two-dimensional homogeneous cubic systems. It considers the case where the homogeneous polynomial vector on the right-hand side of the system has a quadratic common factor with real zeros. The set of such systems is divided into classes of linear equivalence, in each of which a simplest system being a third-order normal form is distinguished on the basis of appropriately introduced structural and normalization principles. In fact, this normal form is determined by the coefficient matrix of the right-hand side, which is called a canonical form (CF). Each CF is characterized by an arrangement of nonzero elements, their specific normalization, and a canonical set of admissible values of the unnormalized elements, which ensures that the given CF belongs to a certain equivalence class. In addition, for each CF, (a) conditions on the coefficients of the initial system are obtained, (b) nonsingular linear substitutions reducing the right-hand side of a system satisfying these conditions to a given CF are specified, and (c) the values of the unnormalized elements of the CF thus obtained are given.
