BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems01:24

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems

System stability is a fundamental concept in signal processing, often assessed using convolution. For a system to be considered bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stable, any bounded input signal must produce a bounded output signal. A bounded input signal is one where the modulus does not exceed a certain constant at any point in time.
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.

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Stability of structures

In mechanical engineering, the stability of systems under various forces is critical for designing durable and efficient structures. One fundamental way to explore these concepts is by analyzing systems like two rods connected at a pivot point, O, with a torsional spring of spring constant k at the pivot point. This system is similar in appearance to a scissor jack used to change tires on a car. In this case, the arms of the linkage (equivalent to the rods in this system) are entirely vertical,...
Pole and System Stability01:24

Pole and System Stability

The transfer function is a fundamental concept representing the ratio of two polynomials. The numerator and denominator encapsulate the system's dynamics. The zeros and poles of this transfer function are critical in determining the system's behavior and 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 of Equilibrium Configuration01:23

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration

Understanding the stability of equilibrium configurations is a fundamental part of mechanical engineering. In any system, there are three distinct types of equilibrium: stable, neutral, and unstable.
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...
Block Diagram Reduction01:22

Block Diagram Reduction

The process of deriving the transfer function of a control system often involves reducing its block diagram to a single block. This simplification can be achieved through a series of strategic operations, including relocating branch points and comparators. These operations preserve the overall function of the system while allowing for easier manipulation and combination of blocks.
The first step in this process is the identification and relocation of a branch point. A branch point, where a...

Area of Science:

  • Systems biology
  • Network dynamics
  • Computational biology

Background:

  • Networked dynamical systems exhibit characteristic responses to node knockouts.
  • Knockout resilience, or the ability of remaining nodes to maintain system dynamics, is a key indicator of robustness.
  • Boolean threshold networks are a common model for biological regulatory networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of node knockouts on binary state sequences within Boolean threshold networks.
  • To analyze knockout resilience in the context of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle network.
  • To compare the observed resilience with a null model and assess potential optimization for robustness.

Main Methods:

  • Simulating knockouts on random binary state sequences with biological constraints.
  • Analyzing the cell cycle sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its Boolean network implementation.
  • Employing a null model for comparison to evaluate statistical significance of observed resilience.

Main Results:

  • No evidence found that the yeast wildtype network is optimized for high knockout resilience compared to a null model.
  • The studied notion of knockout resilience showed a weak correlation with the size of the basin of attraction.
  • Findings suggest limited inherent robustness of the yeast cell cycle network against node perturbations.

Conclusions:

  • The yeast wildtype network may not be inherently optimized for resilience against node failures.
  • Knockout resilience and basin of attraction size are weakly related measures of network robustness.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand robustness mechanisms in biological networks.
