Computer algebra systems are really good at factoring polynomials, i.e. writing f as a product of irreducible factors. It is relatively easy to verify that we have a factorisation, but verifying that these factors are irreducible is a much…
We analyze robust stability, in an input-output sense, of switched stable systems. The primary goal (and contribution) of this paper is to design switching strategies to guarantee that input-output stable systems remain so under switching.…
Phase-locked loops (PLLs) are now widely used in communication systems and have been a classic system for more than 60 years. Well-known mathematical models of such systems are constructed in a number of approximations, so questions about…
