In this note we show that for any given controllable pair (A,B) and any c> 1, a gain matrix K can be chosen so that the transition matrix of the system x' = (A+BK)x decays at the exponential rate exp(-ct) and the overshoot of the transition…

This paper considers the controllability of a class of coupled Stokes systems with distributed controls. The coupling terms are of a different nature. The first coupling is through the principal part of the Stokes operator with a constant…

Let K be an arbitrary field, and a,b,c,d be elements of K such that the polynomials t^2-at-b and t^2-ct-d are split in K[t]. Given a square matrix M with entries in K, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of two…

We study the controllability of the differential Lyapunov equation under isospectral rotation of a linear gradient field. Specifically, control is effected by a symmetric time-varying gain-matrix constrained to have fixed eigenvalues; that…

We provide a number of algorithmic results for the following family of problems: For a given binary m\times n matrix A and integer k, decide whether there is a "simple" binary matrix B which differs from A in at most k entries. For an…

Let K be an infinite field such that its characteristic is not 2. We show that, for every $A\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $\mathrm{rank}(A)\geq n/2$, there exists $B\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$ such that $B$ is similar to $A$ and $A+B$ is…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a finite commutative ring, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be a commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n \times n$-matrices over $\mathbb{L}$ that have the same characteristic polynomial. The main result of this…

We develop a linear systems theory that coincides with the existing theories for continuous and discrete dynamical systems, but that also extends to linear systems defined on nonuniform time domains. The approach here is based on…

The goal of the present article is to study controllability properties of mixed systems of linear parabolic-transport equations, with possibly non-diagonalizable diffusion matrix, on the one-dimensional torus. The equations are coupled by…

In this paper, we study the relative controllability of linear difference equations with multiple delays in the state by using a suitable formula for the solutions of such systems in terms of their initial conditions, their control inputs,…

A well-known theorem of Fillmore says that if $A\in\operatorname{M}_{n}(K)$ is a non-scalar matrix over a field $K$ and $\gamma_{1},\dots,\gamma_{n}\in K$ are such that $\gamma_{1}+\dots+\gamma_{n}=\operatorname{Tr}(A)$, then $A$ is…

The main result of this paper is the following: for all $b \in \mathbb Z$ there exists $k=k(b)$ such that \[ \max \{ |A^{(k)}|, |(A+u)^{(k)}| \} \geq |A|^b, \] for any finite $A \subset \mathbb Q$ and any non-zero $u \in \mathbb Q$. Here,…
