for $a,bin m_{nm},$ we say that $a$ is left matrix majorized (resp. left matrix submajorized) by $b$ and write $aprec_{ell}b$ (resp. $aprec_{ell s}b$), if $a=rb$ for some $ntimes n$ row stochastic (resp. row substochastic) matrix $r.$ moreover, we define the relation $sim_{ell s} $ on $m_{nm}$ as follows: $asim_{ell s} b$ if $aprec_{ell s} bprec_{ell s} a.$ this paper characterizes all linear p...

for vectors x, y ∈ rn, it is said that x is left matrix majorizedby y if for some row stochastic matrix r; x = ry. the relationx ∼` y, is defined as follows: x ∼` y if and only if x is leftmatrix majorized by y and y is left matrix majorized by x. alinear operator t : rp → rn is said to be a linear preserver ofa given relation ≺ if x ≺ y on rp implies that t x ≺ ty onrn. the linear preservers o...

This paper investigate the stabilizability of 2-D linear discrete-time systems described by the Roesser model with closed-loop positivity. Necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of desired state-feedback controllers guaranteeing the resultant closed-loop system to be asymptotically stable and positive is obtained. The synthesis of state-feedback controllers, including the requirem...

An Inexact Bundle Method for Solving Large Structured Linear Matrix Inequalities

In this paper, the problem of stability analysis and stabilization synthesis of switched linear systems with time delay is studied in continuous-time domain. First, two sufficient conditions are established under which the system is asymptotically stable under arbitrary switching signal, and, if a set of linear matrix inequalities is solvable, a state feedback controller can be designed to stab...
