Positively invariant sets play an important role in the theory and
applications of dynamical systems. The stability in the sense of
Lyapunov of the equilibrium x = 0 is equivalent to the existence of the
ellipsoidal positively invariant sets. The constraints on the state and
control vectors of dynamical systems can be formulated as polyhedral
positively invariant sets in practical engineering problems. Numerical
checking method of positive invariance of polyhedral sets is addressed
in this paper. The validation of the positively invariant sets can be
done by solving LPs which can be easily done numerically. It is
illustrated by examples that our checking method is effective. Compared
with the now existing algebraic methods, numerical checking method is an
attractive method in that it’s easy to be implemented.
Identifying the best scientists among the mediocre is straightforward when given the perspective of centuries, or at least decades, of hindsight. The problem of evaluating contemporary researchers is far more complex.
Polish true-confessions magazines are bolder than other women's journals at covering sensitive issues. The confessional formula makes it easier to cross discourse boundaries.
It was long believed that RNA was a molecule specialized in transmitting information from DNA to proteins. However, in recent years scientists have been discovering hitherto unknown complexities of RNA.
Today's technology makes it possible to analyze genetic samples up to a million years old. Perhaps one day the aurochs will make a comeback to Poland's forests, thanks to Polish scientists.
In Copernicus' day, canons were buried under the altar where they served Mass. As such, the altar of St. Andrew in Frombork cathedral was a natural starting point for researchers looking for the great astronomer's grave.
Existing therapies for heart failure do not target intracellular pathways regulating the metabolism of cardiomyocytes, even though research shows that this could offer an effective treatment method.
