Effective Hamiltonians are usually constructed by using canonical transformations or projection techniques. In contrast to this, we present a method for systems with arbitrary Hilbert space based on the introduction of cumulants. Cumulants…
The stability of equilibrium points of quasi-polynomial systems of ODES is considered. The criteria and Liapunov functions found generalize those traditionally known for Lotka-Volterra equatious, that now appear as a particular case.
We study path-complete Lyapunov functions, which are stability criteria for switched systems, described by a combinatorial component (namely, an automaton), and a functional component (a set of candidate Lyapunov functions, called the…
