This paper generalizes the physical property of relaxation from linear time-invariant (LTI) to linear time-and-space-invariant (LTSI) systems. It is shown that the defining features of relaxation -- complete monotonicity, passivity, and…
This paper studies the variation diminishing property of $k$-positive linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, which map inputs with $k-1$ sign changes to outputs with at most the same variation. We characterize this property for the Toeplitz…
The classes of externally Hankel $k$-positive LTI systems and autonomous $k$-positive systems have recently been defined, and their properties and applications began to be explored using the framework of total positivity and variation…
Linear time invariant (LTI) systems are widely used for modeling system dynamics in science and engineering problems. Harmonic oscillation of LTI systems are widely used for modeling and analyses of periodic physical phenomenon. This study…
We evaluate the relaxation time to equilibrium, and especially show that it is almost independent from the system size for macroscopic isolated quantum systems. It at most polynomially depends on the system size. This estimation holds when…
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…
Long-range interacting Hamiltonian systems are believed to relax generically towards non-equilibrium states called "quasi-stationary" because they evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium very slowly, on a time-scale diverging with particle…
A general kind of models with hierarchically constrained dynamics is shown to exhibit logarithmic anomalous relaxation, similarly to a variety of complex strongly interacting materials. The logarithmic behavior describes most of the decay…
Maximal monotonicity is explored as a generalization of the linear theory of passivity, aiming at an algorithmic input/output analysis of physical models. The theory is developed for maximal monotone one-port circuits, formed by the series…
The relaxation function is the cornerstone to perform calculations in weakly driven processes. Properties that such a function should obey are already established, but the difficulty in its calculation is still an issue to be overcome. In…
The relaxation systems are an important subclass of the passive systems that arise naturally in applications. We exploit the fact that they have highly structured state-space realisations to derive analytical solutions to some simple…
We address the problem of learning the parameters of a stable linear time invariant (LTI) system or linear dynamical system (LDS) with unknown latent space dimension, or order, from a single time--series of noisy input-output data. We focus…
Relaxation in the time correlation between operators is studied. Quantized chaotic systems are shown to have distinct relaxation fluctuations that are universal and can be usefully modelled by Random Matrix Theory. Various quantized maps…
Coupled relaxation oscillators, realized via chemical or other means, can exhibit a multiplicity of steady states, characterized by spatial patterns resulting from lateral inhibition. We show that perturbation-initiated transformations…
Slow (logarithmic) relaxation from a highly excited state is studied in a Hamiltonian system with many degrees of freedom. The relaxation time is shown to increase as the exponential of the square root of the energy of excitation, in…
This paper studies the class of logarithmically completely monotonic (LCM) functions. These functions play an important role in characterising externally positive linear systems which find applications in important control problems such as…
Stabilizing an unknown dynamical system is one of the central problems in control theory. In this paper, we study the sample complexity of the learn-to-stabilize problem in Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems on a single trajectory. Current…
We investigate the occurrence of exponential relaxation in a certain class of closed, finite systems on the basis of a time-convolutionless (TCL) projection operator expansion for a specific class of initial states with vanishing…
This paper considers balanced truncation of discrete-time Hankel $k$-positive systems, characterized by Hankel matrices whose minors up to order $k$ are nonnegative. Our main result shows that if the truncated system has order $k$ or less,…
An analytical prediction is established of how an isolated many-body quantum system relaxes towards its thermal long-time limit under the action of a time-independent perturbation, but still remaining sufficiently close to a reference case…
