This paper deals with asymptotic stability of an analytically derived, synchronous as well as nonsynchronous, steady-state solution of an impact system which exhibits piecewise linear characteristics connected with rock drilling. The exact solution, which assumes one impact for a given number of cycles of the external excitation, is derived, its asymptotic stability is examined, and ranges of parameters are determined for which asymptotic stability is assured. The theoretically predicted stability or instability is verified by a digital computer simulation.

Pancreatic islets detect glucose level by phosphorylating it and converting the glycolytic rate to a signal to secrete insulin. Insulin secretion is greater from the alpha- than from the beta-anomer when the D-glucose level is below 22 mM. D-mannose behaves similarly but at nearly twofold higher concentrations. Two explanations have been proposed: 1) glucokinase, which has the same anomeric preference, is the principal hexose phosphorylating enzyme and limits glycolytic rate. 2) Phosphofructokinase limits glycolysis and hexokinase is the principal enzyme phosphorylating hexose; hexosediphosphate activators of phosphofructokinase are more readily synthesized from alpha-anomers of hexose phosphates. We have simulated both alternatives with a detailed anomerically specific model of the hexose-metabolizing glycolytic enzymes. The pathway preference for alpha-anomer of both hexoses was adequately reproduced with anomerically active limiting glucokinase. The other mechanism did not reproduce the observed pathway preference.

This paper aims to improve the transient response of a linear regulator system by optimizing the feedback gains associated with a fixed set of desirable eigenvalues of the closed-loop system. The optimal feedback gain is such that the Frobenius norm of the steady state of the compensator is minimized. Computer simulation shows that this scheme is effective in improving the transient response of the regulator system.

This study calculated the crossing time in the diploid mutation–selection model in an infinite population limit for various dominance parameters, h, and selective advantages, by switching on a diploid, asymmetric, sharply-peaked landscape, from an initial state which is the steady state in a diploid, sharply-peaked landscape. The crossing time for h < 1 was found to diverge at the critical fitness parameter, which increased with increasing selective advantage and decreased with increasing sequence length. When the sequence length was increased with a fixed extension parameter, there was no crossing time for h < 1 when the sequence length was longer than the critical sequence length, which increased with increasing selective advantage. The crossing time for h ≤ 1 was found to be an exponentially increasing function of the sequence length, and the crossing time for h > 1 became saturated at a long sequence length. The crossing time decreased with increasing selective advantage, mainly because the larger selective advantage caused the increase in relative density of the reversal allele to grow exponentially at an earlier time.
