Pseudospectra and stability radii for analytic matrix functions with application to time-delay systems (Q852655)

The authors start developing a unified theory of pseudospectra and stability radii for general analytic matrix functions, leading to computable formulae for arbitrary norms measuring the size of perturbations of the matrices \(A_i\) in \[ \det\{\sum A_ip_i(\lambda)\}=0\; , \] where \(p_i\) is an entire function. Application to stability radii, as well as computational issues are then discussed. Special properties of pseudospectra of a class of retarded delay differential equations are identified. These properties are related with the behavior of the eigenvalues. In the end some numerical examples are presented.
