Maximizing Protein Translation Rate in the Nonhomogeneous Ribosome Flow Model: A Convex Optimization Approach
Gilad Poker, Yoram Zarai, Michael Margaliot +1
Translation is an important stage in gene expression. During this stage, macro-molecules called ribosomes travel along the mRNA strand linking amino-acids together in a specific or…

High-order maximum principles for the stability analysis of positive bilinear control systems
Gal Hochma, Michael Margaliot
We consider a continuous-time positive bilinear control system (PBCS), i.e. a bilinear control system with Metzler matrices. The positive orthant is an invariant set of such a syst…

Switching Between Linear Consensus~Protocols: A Variational Approach
Orel Ron, Michael Margaliot, Michael S. Branicky
We consider a linear consensus system with n agents that can switch between r different connectivity patterns. A natural question is which switching law yields the best (or worst)…
