The Carleman operator is defined as integral operator with kernel $(t+s)^{-1}$ in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb R}_{+}) $. This is the simplest example of a Hankel operator which can be explicitly diagonalized. Here we study a class of self-adjoint…

We introduce $\Theta$-positivity, a new notion of positivity in real semisimple Lie groups. The notion of $\Theta$-positivity generalizes at the same time Lusztig's total positivity in split real Lie groups as well as well known concepts of…

Let $H$ and $K$ be (finite or infinite dimensional) complex Hilbert spaces. A characterization of positive completely bounded normal linear maps from ${\mathcal B}(H)$ into ${\mathcal B}(K)$ is given, which particularly gives a…

For fully nonlinear $k$-Hessian operators on bounded strictly $(k-1)$-convex domains $\Omega$ in ${\mathbb R}^N$, a characterization of the principal eigenvalue associated to a $k$-convex and negative principal eigenfunction will be given…

This paper studies stabilization of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems when control actions can only be realized in finitely many directions where it is possible to actuate uniformly or logarithmically extended positive scaling factors in…

The dynamics of linear positive systems map the positive orthant to itself. In other words, it maps a set of vectors with zero sign variations to itself. This raises the following question: what linear systems map the set of vectors with…

Linear time-translation-invariant (LTI) models offer simple, yet powerful, abstractions of complex classical dynamical systems. Quantum versions of such models have so far relied on assumptions of Markovianity or an internal state-space…

Positive linear systems on arbitrary time scales are studied. The theory developed in the paper unifies and extends concepts and results known for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for a linear…

In this paper we introduce a new kind of Lax-Oleinik type operator with parameters associated with positive definite Lagrangian systems for both the time-periodic case and the time-independent case. On one hand, the new family of…

We consider the generic quadratic first integral (QFI) of the form $I=K_{ab}(t,q)\dot{q}^{a}\dot{q}^{b}+K_{a}(t,q)\dot{q}^{a}+K(t,q)$ and require the condition $dI/dt=0$. The latter results in a system of partial differential equations…

A matrix $A$ is called totally positive (or totally non-negative) of order $k$, denoted by TP_k (or TN_k), if all minors of size at most $k$ are positive (or non-negative). These matrices have featured in diverse areas in mathematics,…

We consider a class of systems over finite alphabets with linear internal dynamics, finite-valued control inputs and finitely quantized outputs. We motivate the need for a new notion of observability and propose three new notions of output…

We give labeled natural deduction systems for a family of tense logics extending the basic linear tense logic Kl. We prove that our systems are sound and complete with respect to the usual Kripke semantics, and that they possess a number of…

We show how to design families of operational criteria that distinguish entangled from separable quantum states. The simplest of these tests corresponds to the well-known Peres-Horodecki positive partial transpose (PPT) criterion, and the…

Differentially positive systems are systems whose linearization along trajectories is positive. Under mild assumptions, their solutions asymptotically converge to a one-dimensional attractor, which must be a limit cycle in the absence of…

Stability analysis of discrete-time switched systems under minimum dwell-time is studied using a new type of LMI conditions. These conditions are convex in the matrices of the system and shown to be equivalent to the nonconvex conditions…

We derive a sufficient condition for a set of pure states, each entangled in two remote $N$-dimensional systems, to be transformable to $k$-dimensional-subspace equivalent entangled states ($k\leq N$) by same local operations and classical…

The quantum conditions of the relativistic integrable systems whose classical motion is multiply periodic are given by considering the single-valuedness of the linear superposition of the approximate solutions $R_{i}\exp {\{iS_{i}/\hbar…

A system is called positive if the set of non-negative states is left invariant by the dynamics. Stability analysis and controller optimization are greatly simplified for such systems. For example, linear Lyapunov functions and storage…

Systems whose variable are constrained to be positive allow computationally efficient control design. We generalize these results to linear systems which leave a cone invariant. This is a wider class of systems than positive systems. We…
