If a second-order differential equation has a characteristic equation with complex conjugate roots of the form r 1 = a + bi and r 2 = a − bi, then the general solution is accordingly y(x) = c 1 e (a + bi )x + c 2 e (a − bi )x. By Euler's formula, which states that e iθ = cos θ + i sin θ, this solution can be rewritten as follows:
In this example, the characteristic equation is =. The root of the equation is =. If the process has a unit root, then it is a non-stationary time series. That is, the moments of the stochastic process depend on .
Stable polynomials arise in control theory and in mathematical theory of differential and difference equations. A linear, time-invariant system (see LTI system theory) is said to be BIBO stable if every bounded input produces bounded output. A linear system is BIBO stable if its characteristic polynomial is stable.
As an example, consider the advection equation (this example assumes familiarity with PDE notation, and solutions to basic ODEs). + = where is constant and is a function of and . We want to transform this linear first-order PDE into an ODE along the appropriate curve; i.e. something of the form
If the characteristic polynomial of the system is given by = + + + + +then the table is constructed as follows: [1] _ _ _ _ _ _ That is, the first row is constructed of the polynomial coefficients in order, and the second row is the first row in reverse order and conjugated.
The test functions used to evaluate the algorithms for MOP were taken from Deb, [4] Binh et al. [5] and Binh. [6] The software developed by Deb can be downloaded, [ 7 ] which implements the NSGA-II procedure with GAs, or the program posted on Internet, [ 8 ] which implements the NSGA-II procedure with ES.
Characteristic equation may refer to: Characteristic equation (calculus), used to solve linear differential equations; Characteristic equation, the equation obtained by equating to zero the characteristic polynomial of a matrix or of a linear mapping; Method of characteristics, a technique for solving partial differential equations
In mathematics, the term "characteristic function" can refer to any of several distinct concepts: The indicator function of a subset , that is the function 1 A : X → { 0 , 1 } , {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{A}\colon X\to \{0,1\},} which for a given subset A of X , has value 1 at points of A and 0 at points of X − A .
