Stability and distributed control of degenerate diffusion equations

This paper is concerned with stability and control of the parabolic p-Laplace equation. The autonomous equation is shown to be asymptotically stable, while the stronger property of exponential stability is guaranteed by the presence of lower-order terms satisfying a suitable growth condition. On...

A lower bound on the dimension of minimal positive realizations for discrete time systems

In some applications, one is interested in having a state–space realization with nonnegative matrices (positive realization) of a given transfer function and it is known that such a realization may have a dimension strictly larger than the order of the transfer function itself. The aim of this...
