Approximating stability for applied argument-based inquiry

Argument, Inquiry, and the Unity of Science

Ockham’s razor impels scientists to seek ever greater unity in nature. That seems to saddle science with a metaphysical presupposition of simplicity that might be false. The objection is apt if scientific method is understood as a system of inductive logic or proof, for then the unity of science must, somehow, function as an unjustified premise in scientific arguments. But if science is underst...

MAKING THE ARGUMENT: Students use a free, authoritative online resource for environmental health issues that supports argument-based inquiry.

Approximating Concept Stability

Concept stability was used in numerous applications for selecting concepts as biclusters of similar objects. However, scalability remains a challenge for computing stability. The best algorithms known so far have algorithmic complexity quadratic in the size of the lattice. In this paper the problem of approximate stability computation is analyzed. An approximate algorithm for computing stabilit...

Approximating real stability radii

The stability radius of an n×n matrix A (or distance to instability) is a well-known measure of robustness of stability of the linear stable dynamical system ẋ = Ax. Such a distance is commonly measured either in the 2-norm or in the Frobenius norm. Even if the matrix A is real, the distance to instability is most often considered with respect to complex valued matrices (in such case the two no...
