Epistemic stability
… knowledge and rational belief are subject to stability conditions. A belief that amounts to knowledge couldn't easily have been lost due to the impact of misleading evidence. A belief that is rational couldn't easily have been withdrawn upon reflection on its epistemic credentials. In Chapter …

Stability and String Stability Analysis of Formation Control Architectures for Platooning.
This thesis presents theoretical results for stability and string stability of formation control architectures for platooning. We consider three important interconnection topologies for vehicles travelling in a straight line as a string: leader following, cyclic and bidirectional. For the leader …

Reclaiming stability: the dialectic of stability and instability in capitalist society
<p>This dissertation recovers stability as a critical concept. Once a fundamental political category, stability has been largely abandoned in contemporary political philosophy. Through a dialectical analysis of capitalist stability and instability, I criticize this abandonment and demonstrate that …

From Contagion to Stability: Insights into Network Dynamics, Resilience and Stability
… mitigate cascading failures and bolster network stability. First, the thesis focuses on optimizing resource allocation in networks undergoing contagion, developing novel resilience metrics for supply chains, and creating efficient algorithms to prevent cascading failures. Secondly, this thesis …

Stability of flat galaxies
In this thesis we investigate the existence and properties of stationary solutions of the flat Vlasov-Poisson system. This system of partial differential equations can be used as a model of extremely flat astronomical objects and is a combination between the two-dimensional motion of particles and …

Full Stability In Optimization
… dissertation concerns a systematic study of full stability in general optimization models including its conventional Lipschitzian version as well as the new Holderian one. We derive various characterizations of both Lipschitzian and Holderian full stability in nonsmooth optimization, which are new …

Law and financial stability
… and somewhat siloed analysis of financial instability. Legal analysis and empirical financial research rarely ever cross paths. Furthermore, policy analysts largely do not interact with either the legal or financial research and vice versa. Therefore, to overcome these disciplinary and …

Stability of Einstein Manifolds
… we find curvature conditions which ensure the stability of Einstein manifolds with respect to the Einstein-Hilbert functional, i.e. that the second variation of the Einstein-Hilbert functional at the metric is nonpositive in the direction of transverse-traceless tensors. The second part of the …

Stability in dynamical polysystems
… characterizations for various notions of strong stability. Chapter 5 makes use of the theory of closed relations to study Lyapunov functions. Prolongations and absolute stability make the object of the last chapter.

Stability in Geometric Theories
The second question is answered for o-minimal structures that eliminate imaginaries. It is proved that for any structure D whose theory is o-minimal and eliminates imaginaries, any stable group interpretable in D is totally transcendental with finite Morley rank. A strengthening of Buechler's …

Stability of queueing networks
In this thesis, the stability of queueing networks is studied. The use of test functions is a unifying thread. Tools are provided to construct appropriate test functions for complex networks, and the structure of such test functions is examined for specific network models. The analysis of queueing …

Axial compressor stability enhancement
… in a stable manner at all times. One source of instability is compressor stall. Stall problems can be reduced by machining cavities into the compressor casing adjacent to the rotor blades. This ‘casing treatment’ is the focus of the present work. Two treatment configurations are tested: …

Stability of barrelled topologies
… We shall in this thesis investigate the stability of barrelled topologies with respect to two further mathematical constructions. Firstly, we examine the situation with regard to the formation of finite-codimensional and countable-codimensional subspaces. (Of course, barrelled topologies …

Aerodynamic stability of bridges
… in these tests determine the aerodynamic stability or instability of the bridge section. Our problem was to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of typical bridge sections and attempt to find aerodynamically stable sections. The lift, torque and drag curves were obtained by holding …

Aerodynamic stability of bridges
… of the beginning of research on the Aerodynamic Stability of Suspension Bridges. Wind has wrecked suspension bridges for over a century but the underlying cause, an increasing harmonic amplitude due to wind, has been ignored until recently. For many years bridges have been designed to withstand …

Stability of Nanoporous Metals
A study of the stability of bicontinuous nanoporous metals is presented. Atomic scale simulations are used to probe the dominant mechanisms of geometric relaxation in these materials. A method is presented for generating model bicontinuous metal / void structures for use in atomistic simulations of …

Optimal voltage stability assessment based on voltage stability indices and artificial neural network
The evaluation of voltage stability assessment experiences sizeable anxiety in the safe operation of power systems, due to the complications of a strain power system. With the snowballing of power demand by the consumers and also the restricted amount of power sources, therefore, the system has to …
