Necessary And Sufficient

We completely solve thegeneralized Fermat problem: given a triangle , , and three positive numbers , , , find a point for which the sum is minimal. We show that the point always exists and is unique, and indicate necessary and sufficient conditions for the point to lie inside the triangle. We provide geometric interpretations of the conditions and briefly indicate a connection with dynamical systems.

Necessary And Sufficient

Necessary and sufficient conditions for impulsive controllability of linear dynamical systems are obtained, which provide a novel approach to problems that are basically defined by continuous dynamical systems, but on which only discrete-time actions are exercised. As an application, impulsive maneuvering of a spacecraft is discussed.

And Control

In this paper, the theory of flow barriers in discontinuous dynamical systems is systematically presented as a new theory for the first time, which helps one rethink the existing theories of stability and control in dynamical systems. The concept of flow barriers in discontinuous dynamical systems is introduced, and the passability of a flow to the separation boundary with flow barriers is presented. Because the flow barriers exist on the separation boundary, the switchability of a flow to such a separation boundary is changed accordingly. The coming and leaving flow barriers in passable flows are discussed first, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for a flow to pass through the boundary with flow barrier are developed. Flow barriers for sink and source flows are also discussed. Once the sink flow is formed, the boundary flow will exist. When the boundary flow disappears from the boundary, the boundary flow barrier on the boundary may exist, which is independent of vector fields in the corresponding domains. Thus, the necessary and sufficient conditions for formations and vanishing of the boundary flow are developed. A periodically forced friction model is presented as an example for a better understanding of flow barrier existence in physical problems. The flow barrier theory presented in this paper may provide a theoretic base to further develop control theory and stability.

Necessary And Sufficient

We introduce the asymptotic property associated with recurrence-like behavior of orbits in dynamical systems in general metric spaces. We define a notion of weak asymptotic periodicity and determine its elementary properties and relations including the invariance by topological conjugacy. We use the equicontinuity and the topology of the space to describe necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a behavior.

In this paper, the synchronization dynamics of two gyroscope systems is discussed by the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems. The necessary and sufficient conditions of such synchronization are obtained. The non-synchronization, partial and full synchronizations of two gyroscope systems are illustrated for the analytical conditions of synchronization.
