We derive the Taylor polynomial of a function, which is $m$-times continuously differentiable and positive homogeneous of order $m$. The Taylor polynomial in $a$ for $f(b)$ of order $m$ in general is a polynomial of order $m$ in $b-a$. If…

We describe an expansion of Legendre polynomials, analogous to the Taylor expansion, to approximate arbitrary functions. We show that the polynomial coefficients in Legendre expansion, therefore the whole series, converge to zero much more…
Analysis of nonlinear autonomous systems typically involves estimating domains of attraction, which have been a topic of extensive research interest for decades. Despite that, accurately estimating domains of attraction for nonlinear…
In the stability theory of dynamical systems, Lyapunov functions play a fundamental role. In this paper, we study the attractor-repeller pair decomposition and Morse decomposition for compact metric space in the random setting. In contrast…
While stability analysis is a mainstay for control science, especially computing regions of attraction of equilibrium points, until recently most stability analysis tools always required explicit knowledge of the model or a high-fidelity…
The main perpose of this paper is to sudy the roots of a familly of polynomials that arise from a linear recurrences associated to Pascal's triangle and their zero attractor, using an analytical methods based on conformal mappings.
In this paper, we first prove an abstract theorem on the existence of polynomial attractors and the concrete estimate of their attractive velocity for infinite-dimensional dynamical systems, then apply this theorem to a class of wave…
According to a theorem of Poincare, the solutions to differential equations are analytic functions of (and therefore have Taylor expansions in) the initial conditions and various parameters providing the right sides of the differential…
For each probability distribution on a countable alphabet, a sequence of positive functionals are developed as tail indices based on Turing's perspective. By and only by the asymptotic behavior of these indices, domains of attraction for…
In the context of data-driven control of nonlinear systems, many approaches lack of rigorous guarantees, call for nonconvex optimization, or require knowledge of a function basis containing the system dynamics. To tackle these drawbacks, we…

This paper introduces a novel framework to construct the region of attraction (ROA) of a power system centered around a stable equilibrium by using stable state trajectories of system dynamics. Most existing works on estimating ROA rely on…
A simple version for the extension of the Taylor theorem to the operator functions was found. The expansion was done with respect to a value given by a diagonal matrix for the non-commutative case, and the coefficients are given both by…

We consider "Taylor domination" property for an analytic function $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}a_{k}z^{k},$ in the complex disk $D_R$, which is an inequality of the form \[ |a_{k}|R^{k}\leq C\ \max_{i=0,\dots,N}\ |a_{i}|R^{i}, \ k \geq N+1. \]…
