Abstract

This paper introduces the voltage stability kernel (VSK), a cofactor-based bus-wise representation of voltage stability in lossy power systems. The VSK is defined as the vector of principal cofactors of the voltage stability Laplacian (VSL), a reduced Jacobian that retains voltage source internal angles while eliminating the other variables. We show that the VSK constitutes the left kernel of the VSL, which is typically nonsymmetric in lossy power systems. We also define the voltage stability margin (VSM) as the sum of all VSK components and show that it is equal to the product of all eigenvalues of the VSL except the trivial zero eigenvalue due to phase-shift symmetry. Thus, the VSK provides a bus-wise decomposition of the VSM. Furthermore, the VSK offers an algebraic interpretation of CPF calculations with a fixed slack bus. The singularity of the Jacobian in CPF calculations obtained by deleting the slack-bus row and column is characterized by the vanishing of the VSK component selected by the slack bus. In contrast, the static bifurcation is characterized by the vanishing of the VSM. Since these two conditions are generally different, our theory explains why a CPF nose point does not necessarily correspond to a static bifurcation in lossy cases.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
