SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition for a general, scalar, quasi-differential expression of order n to be factorisable into a product of expressions of order n − k and k, for any 0 < k < n, is given. The factors are characterised completely in terms of elements of the null space of the expression and its adjoint. The results obtained extend existing results due to both Polya and Zettl from the case of classical linear differential expressions to quasi-differential expressions.

SynopsisGiven a symmetric (formally self-adjoint) ordinary linear differential expression L which is regular on the interval [0, ∞) and has C∞ coefficients, we investigate the relationship between the deficiency indices of L and those of p(L), where p(x) is any real polynomial of degree k > 1. Previously we established the following inequalities: (a) For k even, say k = 2r, N+(p(L)), N−(p(L)) ≧ r[N+(L)+N−(L)] and (b) for k odd, say k = 2r+1where N+(M), N−(M) denote the deficiency indices of the symmetric expression M (or of the minimal operator associated with M in the Hilbert space L2(0, ∞)) corresponding to the upper and lower half-planes, respectively. Here we give a necessary and sufficient condition for equality to hold in the above inequalities.

SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition is given for the uniform exponential stability of certain autonomous differential–difference equations whose phase space is a Hilbert space. It is shown that this property is preserved when the delays depend homogeneously on a nonnegative parameter.

We study in this paper the existence of a feedback for linear differential algebraic equation system such that the closed-loop system is positive and stable. A necessary and sufficient condition for such existence has been established. This result can be used to detect the existence of a state feedback law that makes the linear differential algebraic equation system in closed loop positive and stable.

SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition is developed for determination of the uniform stability of a class of non-autonomous linear differential-difference equations. This condition is the analogue of the Liapunov criterion for linear ordinary differential equations.

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of Lyapunov exponents of linear differential system is proved in the sense that the equations satisfy the weaker form of integral separation instead of its classical one. Furthermore, the existence of full nonuniform exponential dichotomy spectrum under the condition of weak integral separateness is also presented.

This paper investigates the necessary and sufficient condition for a set of (real or complex) matrices to commute. It is proved that the commutator[A,B]=0for two matricesAandBif and only if a vectorv(B)defined uniquely from the matrixBis in the null space of a well-structured matrix defined as the Kronecker sumA⊕(−A∗), which is always rank defective. This result is extendable directly to any countable set of commuting matrices. Complementary results are derived concerning the commutators of certain matrices with functions of matricesf(A)which extend the well-known sufficiency-type commuting result[A,f(A)]=0.
