After introducing the concept of null functions, we shall present a uniqueness result in the sense of the null functions for the Laplace transform on time scales with arbitrary graininess. The result can be regarded as a dynamic extension…
This paper addresses invariance principles for a certain class of switched nonlinear systems. We provide an extension of LaSalle's Invariance Principle for these systems and state asymptotic stability criteria. We also present some related…
There is a close connection between stability and oscillation of delay differential equations. For the first-order equation $$ x^{\prime}(t)+c(t)x(\tau(t))=0,~~t\geq 0, $$ where $c$ is locally integrable of any sign, $\tau(t)\leq t$ is…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the response of this system/scheme in terms of stability in presence of explicitly treated residual terms, as it inevitably occurs in the reality of NWP. This sudy is restricted to the impact of…
For iterative learning control (ILC), one of the basic problems left to address is how to solve the contradiction between convergence conditions for the output tracking error and for the input signal (or error). This problem is considered…
We study the Cauchy problem associated with the equations governing a fluid loaded plate formulated on either the line or the half-line. We show that in both cases the problem can be solved by employing the unified approach to boundary…

Combining quantum and Bayesian principles leads to optimality in metrology, but the optimisation equations involved are often hard to solve. This work mitigates this problem with a novel class of measurement strategies for quantities…
In this paper, our main goal is to study the evolution problem associated with the Laplacian operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a regular tree. To this end, we place special emphasis on the associated first eigenvalue problem,…
First-order phase transitions are commonly associated with a discontinuous behavior of some of the thermodynamic variables and the presence of a latent heat. In the present study it is shown that this is not necessarily the case. Using…
This paper focuses on the numerical solution of a dual-phase-lag heat conduction equation on a space unbounded domain. First, based on the Laplace transform and the Pad\'e approximation, a high-order local artificial boundary condition is…
Inverse problems arise in situations where data is available, but the underlying model is not. It can therefore be necessary to infer the parameters of the latter starting from the former. Statistical mechanics offers a toolbox of…
A partial differential equation has usually a regular solution at the initial time if the initial condition is smooth in space, fulfills the governing equations and is compatible with the boundary condition. In the case of Navier-Stokes…
The long-time behaviour of many dynamical systems may be effectively predicted by a low-dimensional model that describes the evolution of a reduced set of variables. We consider the question of how to equip such a low-dimensional model with…
Linear Recurrence Sequences (LRS) are a fundamental mathematical primitive for a plethora of applications such as the verification of probabilistic systems, model checking, computational biology, and economics. Positivity (are all terms of…
We introduce a novel approach addressing global analysis of a difficult class of nonconvex-nonsmooth optimization problems within the important framework of Lagrangian-based methods. This genuine nonlinear class captures many problems in…

Motivated by robotic trajectory optimization problems we consider the Augmented Lagrangian approach to constrained optimization. We first propose an alternative augmentation of the Lagrangian to handle the inequality case (not based on…
We investigate the first-passage properties of a jump process with a constant drift, focusing on two key observables: the first-passage time $\tau$ and the number of jumps $n$ before the first-passage event. By mapping the problem onto an…
Let $f$ and $g$ be both continuous functions on $\left( 0,\infty \right) $ with $g\left( t\right) >0$ for $t\in \left( 0,\infty \right) $ and let $ F\left( x\right) =\mathcal{L}\left( f\right) $, $G\left( x\right) =\mathcal{L }\left(…
