We study mixed-moment models (full zeroth moment, half higher moments) for a Fokker–Planck equation in one space dimension. Mixed-moment minimum-entropy models are known to overcome the zero net-flux problem of full-moment minimum-entropy Mn models. A realizability theory for these mixed moments of arbitrary order is derived, as well as a new closure, which we refer to as Kershaw closure. They ...

We introduce a classification of mixed three-qubit states, in which we define the classes of separable, biseparable, W, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. These classes are successively embedded into each other. We show that contrary to pure W-type states, the mixed W class is not of measure zero. We construct witness operators that detect the class of a mixed state. We discuss the conject...

A new method is presented for the analysis of limit cycle oscillations in mixed-feedback systems. The calculation reformulated as zero finding a mixed-monotone relation, that is, difference two maximally monotone relations. problem can then be solved efficiently by borrowing existing algorithms minimize convex functions. potential illustrated on classical Van der Pol oscillator.

While attempting to clarify the confusion concerning the conceptualization of "blocking zeros" in state space in the recent literature, some new observations are made on the relationship between pole-zero cancellation and transmission blocking. An important distinction between uncontrollable and unobservable eigenvalue s is pointed out; and it is argued that the description of a Blocking Zero, ...
