On the gain of entrainment in stable linear control systems with a nonlinear output
Ram Massas, Michael Margaliot
A control system admits a positive gain of entrainment (GOE) if entrainment to a periodic input yields a larger output, on average, than the output generated by the corresponding c…
Random attraction in TASEP with time-varying hopping rates
Lars Grüne, Kilian Pioch, Thomas Kriecherbauer +1
The totally asymmetric simple exclusion principle (TASEP) is a fundamental model in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. It describes the stochastic unidirectional movement of par…
On singularly perturbed systems that are monotone with respect to a matrix cone of rank
Ron Ofir, Pietro Lorenzetti, Michael Margaliot
We derive a sufficient condition guaranteeing that a singularly perturbed linear time-varying system is strongly monotone with respect to a matrix cone of rank . This implie…
On the gain of entrainment in the -dimensional ribosome flow model
Ron Ofir, Thomas Kriecherbauer, Lars Grüne +1
The ribosome flow model (RFM) is a phenomenological model for the flow of particles along a 1D chain of sites. It has been extensively used to study ribosome flow along the mRN…
Compound matrices in systems and control theory: a tutorial
Eyal Bar-Shalom, Omri Dalin, Michael Margaliot
The multiplicative and additive compounds of a matrix play an important role in several fields of mathematics including geometry, multi-linear algebra, combinatorics, and the analy…
Minimum effort decentralized control design for contracting network systems
Ron Ofir, Francesco Bullo, Michael Margaliot
We consider the problem of making a networked system contracting by designing minimal effort local controllers. Our method combines a hierarchical contraction characterization and…

Eyal Bar-Shalom, Michael Margaliot
The multiplicative and additive compounds of a matrix play an important role in several fields of mathematics including geometry, multi-linear algebra, combinatorics, and the analy…
k-Contraction: Theory and Applications
Chengshuai Wu, Ilya Kanevskiy, and Michael Margaliot
A dynamical system is called contractive if any two solutions approach one another at an exponential rate. More precisely, the dynamics contracts lines at an exponential rate. This…
Is my system of ODEs -cooperative?
Eyal Weiss, Michael Margaliot
A linear dynamical system is called positive if its flow maps the non-negative orthant to itself. More precisely, it maps the set of vectors with zero sign variations to itself. A…
No Switching Policy is Optimal for a Positive Linear System with a Bottleneck Entrance
Mahdiar Sadeghi, M. Ali Al-Radhawi, Michael Margaliot +1
We consider a nonlinear SISO system that is a cascade of a scalar "bottleneck entrance" and an arbitrary Hurwitz positive linear system. This system entrains i.e. in response to a…
Output Selection and Observer Design for Boolean Control Networks: A Sub-Optimal Polynomial-Complexity Algorithm
Eyal Weiss, Michael Margaliot
Using a graph-theoretic approach, we derive a new sufficient condition for observability of a Boolean control network (BCN). Based on this condition, we describe two algorithms: th…
A Polynomial-Time Algorithm for Solving the Minimal Observability Problem in Conjunctive Boolean Networks
Eyal Weiss, Michael Margaliot
Many complex systems in biology, physics, and engineering include a large number of state-variables, and measuring the full state of the system is often impossible. Typically, a se…
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)…
On Boolean Control Networks with Maximal Topological Entropy
Dmitriy Laschov, Michael Margaliot
Boolean control networks (BCNs) are discrete-time dynamical systems with Boolean state-variables and inputs that are interconnected via Boolean functions. BCNs are recently attract…
