Abstract:
Recurrence analysis applications are hindered by several issues including the selection of critical parameters, noise sensitivity, computational complexity, or the analysis of non-stationary systems. Great progresses have been made by the community to address these issues individually, yet the diversity of resulting techniques with often additional parameters as well as a lack of consensus still impedes its use by nonspecialists. We present a procedure for simplified recurrence analysis based on compact recurrence plots with automatized parameter selection and enhanced noise robustness, and that are suited to the analysis of complex non-stationary systems. This approach aims at supporting the expansion of recurrence analysis for currently challenging or future applications such as for large systems, on-site studies, or using machine learning. The method is demonstrated on both synthetic and real data showing promising results.

Loop gain is determined by identifying and tracing a path from a node back to itself. This involves computing the product of branch gains along the loop. Each loop's gain is crucial for...
Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
