Closed-loop positivity of feedback interconnections of positive monotone nonlinear systems is investigated. It is shown that an instantaneous gain condition on the open-loop systems which implies feedback well-posedness also guarantees…
A Lurie system is the interconnection of a linear time-invariant system and a nonlinear feedback function. We derive a new sufficient condition for $k$-contraction of a Lurie system. For $k=1$, our sufficient condition reduces to the…
A matrix $A$ is totally positive (or non-negative) of order $k$, denoted $TP_k$ (or $TN_k$), if all minors of size $\leq k$ are positive (or non-negative). It is well-known that such matrices are characterized by the variation diminishing…
Model reduction is a powerful tool in dealing with numerical simulation of large scale dynamic systems for studying complex physical systems. Two major types of model reduction methods for linear time-invariant dynamic systems are Krylov…

We present a simple, accurate method for solving consistent, rank-deficient linear systems, with or without addi- tional rank-completing constraints. Such problems arise in a variety of applications, such as the computation of the…
The influence-matrix formalism provides an alternative route to the classical simulation of quantum dynamics. Because influence matrices retain information only about the effective bath seen by local observables, they are expected to be…
We study $H_\infty$ control design for linear time-invariant port-Hamiltonian systems. By a modification of the two central algebraic Riccati equations, we ensure that the resulting controller will be port-Hamiltonian. Using these modified…
It has recently been shown that small quantum subsystems generically equilibrate, in the sense that they spend most of the time close to a fixed equilibrium state. This relies on just two assumptions: that the state is spread over many…
We consider different problems within the general theme of long-range percolation on oriented graphs. Our aim is to settle the so-called truncation question, described as follows. We are given probabilities that certain long-range oriented…
Experimentally there exist many materials with first-order phase transitions at finite temperature that display quantum criticality. Classically, a strain-energy density coupling is known to drive first-order transitions in compressible…
We propose a family of low-rank, completely positive and trace preserving schemes for the Lindblad equation, a common model for open quantum systems. Low-rank representation is employed at two levels: the density matrix is factorized into…
In this paper, we consider finite difference approximations of the second order wave equation. We use finite difference operators satisfying the summation-by-parts property to discretize the equation in space. Boundary conditions and grid…
We study the stability properties of linear time-varying systems in continuous time whose system matrix is Metzler with zero row sums. This class of systems arises naturally in the context of distributed decision problems, coordination and…
In this paper, we calculate the entanglement negativity in free-fermion systems by use of the overlap matrices. For a tripartite system, if the ground state can be factored into triples of modes, we show that the partially transposed…
In this paper, we consider model order reduction for bilinear systems with non-zero initial conditions. We discuss choices of Gramians for both the homogeneous and the inhomogeneous parts of the system individually and prove how these…
There are several results on the stability of nonlinear positive systems in the presence of time delays. However, most of them assume that the delays are constant. This paper considers time-varying, possibly unbounded, delays and…
This paper revisits the modal truncation from an optimisation point of view. In particular, the concept of dominant poles is formulated with respect to different systems norms as the solution of the associated optimal modal truncation…

The transition between the two phases of 4D Euclidean Dynamical Triangulation [1] was long believed to be of second order until in 1996 first order behavior was found for sufficiently large systems [5,9]. However, one may wonder if this…
