In exact density functional theory (DFT) the total ground-state energy is a series of linear segments between integer electron points, a condition known as "piecewise linearity". Deviation from this condition is indicative of poor…

The problem of state-feedback stabilizability of discrete-time nonlinear systems has been considered in this note. Two assertions have been proved. First, if the system is $N$-step controllable to the origin, then there is a state feedback…
We introduce a continuous-time random walk model on an infinite multilayer structure inspired by transportation networks. Each layer is a copy of $\mathbb{R}^d$, indexed by a non-negative integer. A walker moves within a layer by means of…

Nonlinear perturbation of Fuchsian systems are studied in a region including two singularities. It is proved that such systems are generally not analytically equivalent to their linear part (they are not linearizable) and the obstructions…

Dynamic feedback linearization-based methods allow us to design control algorithms for a fairly large class of nonlinear systems in continuous time. However, this feature does not extend to their sampled counterparts, i.e., for a given…
