Stability radii of positive linear systems under affine parameter perturbations in infinite dimensional spaces

In this paper we study the stability radii of positive linear discrete system under arbitrary affine parameter perturbations in infinite dimensional spaces. It is shown that complex, real, and positive stability radii of positive systems coincide. More importantly, estimates and computable formulas of these stability radii are also derived. The results are then illustrated by a simple example. The obtained results are extensions of the recent results in [3].

33 years of numerical instability,Part I

BIT has played and plays a great role in the development of concepts concerning numerical (in)stability in initial value problems forODE's and related questions. This development is here seen through the looking-glass of the author, who experienced much of its pains and pleasures. The article is based on a talk given in 1981 at the Zürich symposium to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the death of the eminent Swiss numerical analyst, Heinz Rutishauser. The presentation is mainly chronological with a few digressions. Part I ends at the beginning of the stiff epoch.     

Frequency domain criteria for robust stability of a family of linear difference equations 1

Preservation of local dynamics when applying central difference methods: application to SIR model

We apply the central difference method (u _t+1 ? u _t ? 1)/(2Δt) = f(u _t ) to an epidemic SIR model and show how the local stability of the equilibria is changed after applying the numerical method. The above central difference scheme can be used as a numerical method to produce a discrete-time model that possesses interesting local dynamics which appears inconsistent with the continuous model. Any fixed point of a differential equation will become an unstable saddle node after applying this method. Two other implicitly defined central difference methods are also discussed here. These two methods are more efficient for preserving the local stability of the fixed points for the continuous models. We apply conformal mapping theory in complex analysis to verify the local stability results.     

New explicit global asymptotic stability criteria for higher order difference equations

New explicit sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the zero solution of higher order difference equations are obtained. These criteria can be applied to autonomous and nonautonomous equations. The celebrated Clark asymptotic stability criterion is improved. Also, applications to models from mathematical biology and macroeconomics are given.     

On the stability of invariant sets of systems with impulse effect

A system of differential equations with impulse effect is considered. It is assumed that this system has an invariant set M$M$. By means of the direct Lyapunov method, the necessary and sufficient conditions of its uniform asymptotic stability are obtained. The conditions on the perturbations of right hand sides of differential equations and impulse effects, under which the uniform asymptotic stability of the invariant set M$M$ of the “nonperturbed” system implies the uniform asymptotic stability of the invariant set of the “perturbed” system, are obtained. The stability properties of invariant sets of periodic systems are also studied.     

The Theory of Linear G-Difference Equations

We introduce the notion of difference equations defined on a structured set. The symmetry group of the structure determines the set of difference operators. All main notions in the theory of difference equations are introduced as invariants of the action of the symmetry group. Linear equations are modules over the skew group algebra, solutions are morphisms relating a given equation to other equations, symmetries of an equation are module endomorphisms, and conserved structures are invariants in the tensor algebra of the given equation.We show that the equations and their solutions can be described through representations of the isotropy group of the symmetry group of the underlying set. We relate our notion of difference equation and solutions to systems of classical difference equations and their solutions and show that out notions include these as a special case.     

Global periodicity and openness of the set of solutions for discrete dynamical systems

In this paper, we find additional conditions to be satisfied by a globally periodic discrete dynamical system, so that its good set (the set of initial conditions providing well-defined solutions) is an open set of ? ^k or ? ^k . We will pay especial attention to the rational case and several examples will be given.     

The Ginzburg-Landau manifold is an attractor

Summary The Ginzburg-Landau modulation equation arises in many domains of science as a (formal) approximate equation describing the evolution of patterns through instabilities and bifurcations. Recently, for a large class of evolution PDE's in one space variable, the validity of the approximation has rigorously been established, in the following sense: Consider initial conditions of which the Fourier-transforms are scaled according to the so-calledclustered mode-distribution. Then the corresponding solutions of the “full” problem and the G-L equation remain close to each other on compact intervals of the intrinsic Ginzburg-Landau time-variable. In this paper the following complementary result is established. Consider small, but arbitrary initial conditions. The Fourier-transforms of the solutions of the “full” problem settle to clustered mode-distribution on time-scales which are rapid as compared to the time-scale of evolution of the Ginzburg-Landau equation.     

A bifurcation theorem for nonlinear matrix models of population dynamics

ABSTRACT

We prove a general theorem for nonlinear matrix models of the type used in structured population dynamics that describes the bifurcation that occurs when the extinction equilibrium destabilizes as a model parameter is varied. The existence of a bifurcating continuum of positive equilibria is established, and their local stability is related to the direction of bifurcation. Our theorem generalizes existing theorems found in the literature in two ways. First, it allows for a general appearance of the bifurcation parameter (existing theorems require the parameter to appear linearly). This significantly widens the applicability of the theorem to population models. Second, our theorem describes circumstances in which a backward bifurcation can produce stable positive equilibria (existing theorems allow for stability only when the bifurcation is forward). The signs of two diagnostic quantities determine the stability of the bifurcating equilibrium and the direction of bifurcation. We give examples that illustrate these features.     

Characterization of equilibrium strategies in a class of difference games

We formulate a class of N player difference games and derive open—loop and Markov equilibria. It turns out that both types of equilibria can be characterized by a set of difference equations that describe the equilibrium dynamics. We analyze the stability properties of the difference equations that correspond to an equilibrium and find that in both the open—loop and the Markov game there is convergence towards a steady state equilibrium     

NONLINEAR MATRIX MODELS AND POPULATION DYNAMICS

Nonlinear matrix difference equations are studied as models for the discrete time dynamics of a population whose individual members have been categorized into a finite number of classes. The equations are treated with sufficient generality so as to include virtually any type of structuring of the population (the sole constraint is that all newborns lie in the same class) and any types of nonlinearities which arise from the density dependence of fertility rates, survival rates and transition probabilities between classes. The existence and stability of equilibrium class distribution vectors are studied by means of bifurcation theory techniques using a single composite, biologically meaningful quantity as a bifurcation parameter, namely the inherent net reproductive rate r. It is shown that, just as in the case of linear matrix equations, a global continuum of positive equilibria exists which bifurcates as a function of r from the zero equilibrium state at and only at r = 1. Furthermore the zero equilibrium loses stability as r is increased through 1. Unlike the linear case however, for which the bifurcation is “vertical” (i.e., equilibria exist only for r = 1), the nonlinear equation in general has positive equilibria for an interval of r values. Methods for studying the geometry of the continuum based upon the density dependence of the net reproductive rate at equilibrium are developed. With regard to stability, it is shown that in general the positive equilibria near the bifurcation point are stable if the bifurcation is to the right and unstable if it is to the left. Some further results and conjectures concerning stability are also given. The methods are illustrated by several examples involving nonlinear models of various types taken from the literature.     

Asymptotic stability versus exponential stability in linear volterra difference equations of convolution type

It is shown that uniform asymptotic stability does not imply exponential stability in linear Volterra difference equations. However, if the kernel of the equation decays exponentially. then both concepts are equivalent as in the case of ordinary difference equations.     

Semistability of two systems of difference equations using centre manifold theory

In this paper, we study the stability of the zero equilibria of the following systems of difference equations: and where a, b, c and d are positive constants and the initial conditions x₀ and y₀ are positive numbers. We study the stability of those systems in the special case when one of the eigenvalues has absolute value equal to 1 and the other eigenvalue has absolute value less than 1, using centre manifold theory.

Analysis of a set of nonlinear dynamics trajectories: Stability of difference equations

For a set of difference equations generated by discretization of the set of differential equations with Hukuhara derivative a principle of comparison with matrix Lyapunov function is specified and sufficient stability conditions of certain type are established. The analysis is carried out in terms of a matrix Lyapunov function of special structure. For an essentially nonlinear multiconnected switched difference system, conditions are obtained providing the asymptotic stability of its zero solution for any switching law. An example is presented to demonstrate efficiency of the proposed approaches.     

Zeros of semilinear systems with applications to nonlinear partial difference equations on graphs†

Let Q be a m × m real matrix and f _j  : ? → ?, j = 1, …, m, be some given functions. If x and f(x) are column vectors whose j-coordinates are x _j and f _j (x _j ), respectively, then we apply the finite dimensional version of the mountain pass theorem to provide conditions for the existence of solutions of the semilinear system Qx = f(x) for Q symmetric and positive semi-definite. The arguments we use are a simple adaptation of the ones used by Neuberger. An application of the above concerns partial difference equations on a finite, connected simple graph. A derivation of a graph 𝒢 is just any linear operator D:C ⁰(𝒢) → C ⁰(𝒢), where C ⁰(𝒢) is the real vector space of real maps defined on the vertex set V of the graph. Given a derivation D and a function F:V × ? → ?, one has associated a partial difference equation Dμ = F(v,μ), and one searches for solutions μ ∈ C ⁰(𝒢). Sufficient conditions in order to have non-trivial solutions of partial difference equations on any finite, connected simple graph for D symmetric and positive semi-definite derivation are provided. A metric (or weighted) graph is a pair (𝒢, d), where 𝒢 is a connected finite degree simple graph and d is a positive function on the set of edges of the graph. The metric d permits to consider some classical derivations, such as the Laplacian operator ?₂. In (Neuberger, Elliptic partial difference equations on graphs, Experiment. Math. 15 (2006), pp. 91–107) was considered the nonlinear elliptic partial difference equations ?₂ u = F(u), for the metric d = 1.
