In the present paper, a novel vector field decomposition based approach for constructing Lyapunov functions is proposed. For a given dynamical system, if the defining vector field admits a decomposition into two mutually orthogonal vector…
We study a class of discontinuous vector fields brought to our attention by multi-legged animal locomotion. Such vector fields arise not only in biomechanics, but also in robotics, neuroscience, and electrical engineering, to name a few…
This article presents a novel numerically tractable technique for synthesizing Lyapunov functions for equilibria of nonlinear vector fields. In broad strokes, corresponding to an isolated equilibrium point of a given vector field, a…
The aim of this paper is to present the application of an approach to study contraction theory recently developed for piecewise smooth and switched systems. The approach that can be used to analyze incremental stability properties of…
A vector-circulant matrix is a natural generalization of the classical circulant matrix and has applications in constructing additive codes. This article formulates the concept of a vector-circulant matrix over finite fields and gives an…
Vectors fields defined on surfaces constitute relevant and useful representations but are rarely used. One reason might be that comparing vector fields across two surfaces of the same genus is not trivial: it requires to transport the…
A rigorous formulation of Vessiot's vector field approach to the analysis of general systems of partial differential equations is provided. It is shown that this approach is equivalent to the formal theory of differential equations and that…
Dynamical systems with prescribed-time convergence sometimes feature a right-hand side exhibiting a singularity at the prescribed convergence time instant. In an open neighborhood of this singularity, classical absolutely continuous…
The aim of the present paper is to investigate intrinsically the notion of a concircular $\pi$-vector field in Finsler geometry. This generalizes the concept of a concircular vector field in Riemannian geometry and the concept of a…
Given a polynomial f and a finite field F one can construct a directed graph where the vertices are the values in the finite field, and emanating from each vertex is an edge joining the vertex to its image under f. When f is a Chebyshev…
Applying concepts and tools from classical tangent bundle geometry and using the apparatus of the calculus along the tangent bundle projection ('pull-back formalism'), first we enrich the known lists of the characterizations of affine…
We introduce the concept of bi-conformal transformation, as a generalization of conformal ones, by allowing two orthogonal parts of a manifold with metric $\G$ to be scaled by different conformal factors. In particular, we study their…
The methods of conformal field theory are used to compute the crossing probabilities between segments of the boundary of a compact two-dimensional region at the percolation threshold. These probabilities are shown to be invariant not only…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the point spectra of vector fields. We will define the point spectrum of a vector field and study some of its basic properties. In particular, we will prove that point spectra are well-behaved under…
These lectures give an introduction to the methods of conformal field theory as applied to deriving certain results in two-dimensional critical percolation: namely the probability that there exists at least one cluster connecting two…
We give a global geometric decomposition of continuously differentiable vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$. More precisely, given a vector field of class $\mathcal{C}^{1}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, and a geometric structure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, we…
We propose an approach to the problem of global reconstruction of an orientation field. The method is based on a geometric model called "bisector line fields", which maps a pair of vector fields to an orientation field, effectively…
The exponential map that characterises the flows of vector fields is the key in understanding the basic structural attributes of control systems in geometric control theory. However, this map does not exists due to the lack of completeness…
This paper addresses openness, density and structural stability conditions of one-parameter families of 3D piecewise smooth vector fields (PSVFs) defined around typical singularities. Our treatment is local and the switching set, $M$, is a…
In this paper, we first give two fundamental principles under a technique to characterize conformal vector fields of $(\alpha,\beta)$ spaces to be homothetic and determine the local structure of those homothetic fields. Then we use the…
