Spatiotemporal stability of one-way open coupled nonlinear systems

Abstract:
The present paper investigates the spatiotemporal stability of homogeneous solutions in one-way open coupled nonlinear systems. We show that the H(infinity) norm concept, which has been used as an important index in the field of robust control theory, allows us to grasp the mechanism of spatial instability in coupled systems. Spatial instability occurs only when the H(infinity) norm of the transfer function of each site is greater than 1. It is shown that numerical simulations for one-way open coupled double scroll circuits are in good agreement with our theoretical results.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be calculated...
BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems
To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system.
Pole and System Stability
Simple poles are unique roots of the denominator polynomial. Each simple pole corresponds to a distinct solution to the system's characteristic equation, typically resulting in exponential decay terms in the system's response.
Stability
The stability of an LTI system is determined by the roots of its characteristic equation, known as poles. A system is stable if it produces a bounded...
Control System Problem
When forming a closed-loop system, issues can arise if the poles cross into the unstable region, leading to potential...
