Abstract. An updated QPmR algorithm implementation for computation and analysis of the spectrum of quasi-polynomials is presented. The objective is to compute all the zeros of a quasi-polynomial located in a given region of the complex plane. The root-finding task is based on mapping the quasi-polynomial in the complex plane. Consequently, utilizing spectrum distribution diagram of the quasipolynomial, the asymptotic exponentials of the retarded chains are determined. If the quasi-polynomial is of neutral type, the spectrum of associated exponential polynomial is assessed, supplemented by determining the safe upper bound of its spectrum. Next to the outline of the computational tools involved in QPmR, its Matlab implementation is presented. Finally, the algorithm is demonstrated by three examples.
Abstract. The stability theory for linear neutral equations subjected to delay perturbations is addressed. It is assumed that the delays cannot necessarily vary independently of each other, but depend on a possibly smaller number of independent parameters. As a main result necessary and sufficient conditions for strong stability are derived along with bounds on the spectrum, which take into account the precise dependency structure of the delays. In the derivation of the stability theory results from realization theory and determinantal representations of multivariable polynomials play an important role. The observations and results obtained in the paper are first illustrated and validated with a numerical example. Next, the effects of small feedback delays on the stability of a boundary controlled hyperbolic partial differential equation and of a control system involving state derivative feedback are analyzed.Key words. neutral system, strong stability, spectral theory
Notations.C set of complex numbers [27] in mechanical engineering. Equations of neutral type also arise in boundary controlled hyperbolic partial differential equations subjected to small feedback delays [22,6] and in implementation schemes of predictive controllers for time-delay systems [7,25]. In this paper we discuss stability properties of the linear neutral equatioṅ
