This paper addresses the problem of stability for general two-dimensional (2D) discrete-time and continuous-discrete time Lyapunov systems, where the linear matrix inequalities (LMI's) approach is applied to derive a new sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability.

We examine conditions for the development of an oscillatory instability in two-dimensional vortex arrays. By building on the theory of Krein signatures for Hamiltonian systems, and considering constraints owing to impulse conservation, we show that a resonant instability (developing through coalescence of two eigenvalues) cannot occur for one or two vortices. We illustrate this deduction by examining available linear stability results for one or two vortices. Our work indicates that a resonant instability may, however, occur for three or more vortices. For these more complex flows, we propose a simple model, based on an elliptical vortex representation, to detect the onset of an oscillatory instability. We provide an example in support of our theory by examining three co-rotating vortices, for which we also perform a linear stability analysis. The stability boundary in our model is in good agreement with the full stability calculation. In addition, we show that eigenmodes associated with an overall rotation or an overall displacement of the vortices always have eigenvalues equal to zero and ±i Ω , respectively, where Ω is the angular velocity of the array. These results, for overall rotation and displacement modes, can also be used to immediately check the accuracy of a detailed stability calculation.

The paper is devoted to the study of asymptotic properties of a real two-dimensional differential system with unbounded nonconstant delays. The sufficient conditions for the stability and asymptotic stability of solutions are given. Used methods are based on the transformation of the considered real system to one equation with complex-valued coefficients. Asymptotic properties are studied by means of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The results generalize some previous ones, where the asymptotic properties for two-dimensional systems with one or more constant delays or one nonconstant delay were studied.


In the first part of this paper opportunity has been taken to make some adjustments in certain general formulae of previous papers, the necessity for which appeared in discussions with other workers on this subject. The general results thus amended are then applied to a general discussion of the stability problem including the effect of the trailing wake which was deliberately excluded in the previous paper. The general conclusion is that to a first approximation the wake, as usually assumed, has little or no effect on the reality of the roots of the period equation, but that it may introduce instability of the oscillations, if the centre of gravity of the element is not sufficiently far forward. During the discussion contact is made with certain partial results recently obtained by von Karman and Sears, which are shown to be particular cases of the general formulae. An Appendix is also added containing certain results on the motion of a vortex behind a moving cylinder, which were obtained to justify certain of the assumptions underlying the trail theory.

If distributed cognition is to become a general analytic frame, it needs to handle more aspects of cognition than just highly efficient problem solving. It should also handle learning. We identify four classes of distributed learning: induction, repurposing, symbiotic tuning, and mutual adaptation. The four classes of distributed learning fit into a two-dimensional space defined by the stability and adaptability of individuals and their environments. In all four classes of learning, people and their environments are highly interdependent during initial learning. At the same time, we present evidence indicating that certain types of interdependence in early learning, most notably mutual adaptation, can help prepare people to be less dependent on their immediate environment and more adaptive when they confront new environments. We also describe and test examples of learning technologies that implement mutual adaptation.

We study nonlinear, two-dimensional convection in a mushy layer during solidification of a binary mixture. We consider a particular limit in which the onset of oscillatory convection just precedes the onset of steady overturning convection, at a prescribed aspect ratio of convection patterns. This asymptotic limit allows us to determine nonlinear solutions analytically. The results provide a complete description of the stability of and transitions between steady and oscillatory convection as functions of the Rayleigh number and the compositional ratio. Of particular focus are the effects of the basic-state asymmetries and non-uniformity in the permeability of the mushy layer, which give rise to abrupt (hysteretic) transitions in the system. We find that the transition between travelling and standing waves, as well as that between standing waves and steady convection, can be hysteretic. The relevance of our theoretical predictions to recent experiments on directionally solidifying mushy layers is also discussed.

The stability of nonlinear tertiary solutions in rotating plane Couette flow is examined numerically. It is found that the tertiary flows, which bifurcate from two-dimensional streamwise vortex flows, are stable within a certain range of the rotation rate when the Reynolds number is relatively small. The stability boundary is determined by perturbations which are subharmonic in the streamwise direction. As the Reynolds number is increased, the rotation range for the stable tertiary motions is destroyed gradually by oscillatory instabilities. We expect that the tertiary flow is overtaken by time-dependent motions for large Reynolds numbers. The results are compared with the recent experimental observation by Tillmark & Alfredsson (1996).
