Abstract: Two equivalent theorems governing stability of multidimensional linear systems with variable parameters are derived which generalize some of the existing stability theorems. Illustrations include ...

Abstract: A modal analysis of a flexible linear damped gyroscopic system is developed here. The simple structure of the corresponding real constant generally nonsymmetric dynamic matrix allows the use of ...

Abstract: A literal Liapunov stability analysis of a spacecraft with flexible appendages often requires a division of the associated dynamic potential into as many dependent parts as the number of ...

Abstract: Input-output stability of linear-distributed parameter systems of arbitrary order and type in the presence of a distributed controller is analyzed by extending the concept of dissipativeness, with ...
