Stability Analysis of Linear Uncertain Systems via Checking Positivity of Forms on Simplices

In this paper, we mainly study the robust stability of linear continuous systems with parameter uncertainties, a more general kind of uncertainties for system matrices is considered, i.e., entries of system matrices are rational functions of uncertain parameters which are varying in intervals. we present a method which can check the robust Hurwitz stability of such uncertain systems in finite steps. Examples show the efficiency of our approach.

A Complete Method for Checking Hurwitz Stability of a Polytope of Matrices

We present a novel method for checking the Hurwitz stability of a polytope of matrices. First we prove that the polytope matrix is stable if and only if two homogenous polynomials are positive on a simplex, then through a newly proposed method, i.e., the weighted difference substitution method, the latter can be checked in finite steps. Examples show the efficiency of our method.

The weighted difference substitutions and Nonnegativity Decision of Forms

In this paper, we study the weighted difference substitutions from geometrical views. First, we give the geometric meanings of the weighted difference substitutions, and introduce the concept of convergence of the sequence of substitution sets. Then it is proven that the sequence of the successive weighted difference substitution sets is convergent. Based on the convergence of the sequence of the successive weighted difference sets, a new, simpler method to prove that if the form F is positive definite on T_n, then the sequence of sets {SDS^m(F)} is positively terminating is presented, which is different from the one given in [11]. That is, we can decide the nonnegativity of a positive definite form by successively running the weighted difference substitutions finite times. Finally, an algorithm for deciding an indefinite form with a counter-example is obtained, and some examples are listed by using the obtained algorithm.

Completeness of the WDS method in Checking Positivity of Integral Forms

Examples show that integral forms can be efficiently proved positive semidefinite by the WDS method, but it was unknown that how many steps of substitutions are needed, or furthermore, which integral forms is this method applicable for. In this paper, we give upper bounds of step numbers of WDS required in proving that an integral form is positive definite, positive semidefinite, or not positive semidefinite, thus deducing that the WDS method is complete.

Spherical Distribution of 5 Points with Maximal Distance Sum

In this paper, we mainly consider the problem of spherical distribution of 5 points, that is, how to configure 5 points on a sphere such that the mutual distance sum attains the maximum. It is conjectured that the sum of distances is maximal if 5 points form a bipyramid configuration in which case two points are positioned at two poles of the sphere and the other three are positioned uniformly on the equator. We study this problem using interval methods and related technics, and give a proof for the conjecture through computers in finite time.
