This lecture presents results describing the relation between existence of Lyapunov or storage functions and stability of dynamical systems 6.1 Stability of an equilibria

Lyapunov analysis, which uses monotonicity of a given function of system state along trajectories of a given dynamical system, is a major tool of nonlinear system analysis It is possible, however, to use monotonicity of volumes of subsets of the state space to predict certain properties of system behavior. This lecture gives an introduction to suc methods

he variable t is usually referred to as the\time Note the use of an integral form in the formal definition(2.2): it assumes that the function tHa(a(t), t)is integrable on T, but does not require =a(t)to be differentiable at any particular point, which turns out to be convenient for working with discontinuous

4.1 Addition of hx to Alkenes. p100 Hydrohalogenation General reaction mechanism: electrophilic addition Attack of electrophile(such as hBr)on T bond of alkene Produces carbocation and bromide ion Carbocation is an electrophile, reacting with nucleophilic bromide ion

Introduction Objective: To compare the different imaging configurations for a Separated Spacecraft Interferometer operating from an Earths orbit

Routing Must choose routes for various origin destination pairs o/d pairs) or for various sessions Datagram routing: route chosen on a packet by packet basis Using datagram routing is an easy way to split paths Virtual circuit routing: route chosen a session by session basis Static routing: route chosen in a prearranged way based on O/D pairs Eytan Modiano

The signal suffers an attenuation loss l Received power PR= PT/L Received snr=E,/No, Eb=Pr/Rb Antennas are used to compensate for attenuation loss Capture as much of the signal as possible

Final Project Questions Let's take up to an hour to Review progress answer questions Referencing sources in the term project Direct quotes-- Place in quotes or indent and cite source in footnote or reference

Case study An automatic document handler(adh)was developed at the ss level. When integrated into the total system there were many new problems. The TQM Problem Solving Process was used, and many problems were solved. However. at the field readiness Test (frt) before entering production the reliability was 15X worse than acceptable O Don Clausing 1998
