We demonstrate how one can distinguish a curved 4-dimensional spacetime from a flat one, when it is possible, relying only on the causality relations between events. It is known that it is possible only for spacetimes that are not…
Output stabilizability of a class of infinite dimensional linear systems is studied in this paper. A criterion for the system to be output stabilizable by a linear bounded feedback $u=Fx$, $F\in L(Z,\mathbb{R}^{^{p}})$ will be given.
In this paper, we study the singularities of locally flat systems, motivated by the solution, if it exists, of the global motion planning problem for such systems, in the spirit of \cite{CE_14}. More precisely, flat outputs may be only…

Although the explicit commutativitiy conditions for second-order linear time-varying systems have been appeared in some literature, these are all for initially relaxed systems. This paper presents explicit necessary and sufficient…
We study the influence of the preparation of an open quantum system on its reduced time evolution. In contrast to the frequently considered case of an initial preparation where the total density matrix factorizes into a product of a system…
We prove that for every discrete-time linear switching system in two complex variables and with finitely many switching states, either the system is Lyapunov stable or there exists a trajectory which escapes to infinity with at least linear…
The concept of (A,B)-invariant subspace (or controlled invariant) of a linear dynamical system is extended to linear systems over the max-plus semiring. Although this extension presents several difficulties, which are similar to those…
We analyze the morphological transition of a one-dimensional system described by a scalar field, where a flat state looses its stability. This scalar field may for example account for the position of a crystal growth front, an order…
This paper presents a computationally efficient robust model predictive control law for discrete linear time invariant systems subject to additive disturbances that may depend on the state and/or input norms. Despite the dependency being…
In this paper we examine the model matching problem that concerns nonlinear input - output discrete systems, containing products among delays of input and output signals, through a special factorization. The algebraic framework of $\de…
In this note we consider continuous-time systems x'(t) = A(t) x(t) + B(t) u(t), y(t) = C(t) x(t) + D(t) u(t), as well as discrete-time systems x(t+1) = A(t) x(t) + B(t) u(t), y(t) = C(t) x(t) + D(t) u(t) whose coefficient matrices A, B, C…
Derrick's theorem on the nonexistence of stable time-independent scalar field configurations [G. H. Derrick, J. Math. Phys. 5, 1252 (1964)] is generalized to finite systems of arbitrary dimension. It is shown that the "dilation" argument…
We consider a class of systems over finite alphabets, namely discrete-time systems with linear dynamics and a finite input alphabet. We formulate a notion of finite uniform bisimulation, and motivate and propose a notion of regular finite…
We study the asymptotic stability properties of nonlinear switched systems under the assumption of the existence of a common weak Lyapunov function. We consider the class of nonchaotic inputs, which generalize the different notions of…

A new notion of independence relation is given and associated to it, the class of flat theories, a subclass of strong stable theories including the superstable ones is introduced. More precisely, after introducing this independence…
This note studies the exponential convergence of input-output signals of discrete-time nonlinear systems composed of a feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant system and a nonlinear uncertainty. Both the open-loop subsystems are…
We prove that for any 4 points in the plane that belong to 2 parallel lines, there is no linear dependence between the associated time-frequency translates of any nontrivial Schwartz function. If mild Diophantine properties are satisfied,…
