Three-state, steady-state Ising systems: Monte Carlo and Bragg-Williams treatments
1Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Arthritis, Metabolism and Digestive Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20205.
Abstract:
In two earlier papers, the steady-state critical and phase-transition properties of a lattice of three-state enzyme molecules were studied by using the "closed" Bragg-Williams (BW), or mean field, approximation. The "open" BW and Monte Carlo methods are applied to the same problem in this paper by using finite lattices. The open BW treatment provides a way of locating the cut across a van der Waals type of loop encountered in a phase transition in the closed BW system. Thermodynamic-like methods cannot be used for this purpose as they can with two-state, steady-state systems.

Multimachine Stability
In analyzing the system, the nodal equations represent the relationship between bus voltages, machine voltages, and machine currents. The nodal equation is given by:
Transient and Steady-state Response
These test signals are integral in designing control systems to exhibit two key performance aspects: transient response and steady-state response.
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.
