Stability radii of positive higher order difference systems under fractional perturbations (Q987438): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the robustness of stability of the positive higher order difference systems described by higher order difference equations of the form \[ A_{N}x(t+N)=A_{N-1}x(t+N-1)+\dots+A_0x(t),\quad t\in\mathbb N, \] where they suppose \(\det A_N\neq0\), under fractional perturbations of the form \[ A_i\to A_i+D_i(I-\Delta_i M_i)^{-1}\Delta_iE_i \] and \[ A_i\to A_i+\sum_{j=1}^{K}\delta_{ij}B_{ij}, i\in\bar N \] where \(B_{ij}, i\in\bar N:=\{1,2,\dots,N\}, j\in\bar K:=\{1,2,\dots,K\}\) are given matrices and \(B_{ij}, i\in\bar N, j\in\bar K\) are scalar parameters, where the matrices \(D_{i}, E_{i}, M_{i}, i\in\bar N\) are given matrices defining the structure of the perturbations and \(\Delta_{i}, i\in\bar N; \delta_{ij}, i\in\bar N, j\in\bar K\) are unknown matrices and scalar parameters, respectively. It is shown that real and complex stability radii coincide and can be computed by a simple formula. An example is given to illustrate the results.
