Biological systems are not low order, linear, nor time invariant. But it is often useful to model them as such. Given the significant variability in biological systems, we want to fit models that are robust to biological “noise”—such as trial-totrial variability, differences between individuals, sex differences, and parameter drift that may occur over time—but that nevertheless capture the system behavior in a parsimonious manner. Here, we present a straightforward approach for fitting low-order parametric transfer functions to frequency-domain data. Our goal is to produce a user-friendly set of tools based on model selection (e.g. AIC, BIC, cross validation) that will enable biologists to generate simple analytical expressions from necessarily nonlinear, time-varying, and infinite dimensional biological phenomena. Application to problems in sensorimotor control systems illustrate the approach.

Linear parameter varying control for autonomous systems: methods and application examples
Çalış, Fatih; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-8-24)
Linear parameter varying (LPV) systems are nonlinear systems which can be modelled as linear systems whose parameters change as a function of different "scheduling parameters". In other words, the dynamics of the LPV systems change during the operation hence they require a parameter dependent controller. Although classical gain-scheduling approaches satisfy some performance criteria for constant dynamics, they don't guarantee stability while the scheduling parameter is changing. On the other hand, H∞-norm b...
Unpredictable Solutions of Linear Impulsive Systems

We consider a new type of oscillations of discontinuous unpredictable solutions for linear impulsive nonhomogeneous systems. The models under investigation are with unpredictable perturbations. The definition of a piecewise continuous unpredictable function is provided. The moments of impulses constitute a newly determined unpredictable discrete set. Theoretical results on the existence, uniqueness, and stability of discontinuous unpredictable solutions for linear impulsive differential equations are provid...
On principles of b-smooth discontinuous flows
Akalın, Ebru Çiğdem; Akhmet, Marat; Department of Mathematics (2004)
Discontinuous dynamical system defined by impulsive autonomous differential equation is a field that has actually been considered rarely. Also, the properties of such systems have not been discussed thoroughly in the course of mathematical researches so far. This thesis comprises two parts, elaborated with a number of examples. In the first part, some results of the previous studies on the classical dynamical system are exposed. In the second part, the definition of discontinuous dynamical system defined by...
Hamiltonian equations in R-3
Ay, Ahmet; GÜRSES, METİN; Zheltukhın, Kostyantyn (AIP Publishing, 2003-12-01)
The Hamiltonian formulation of N=3 systems is considered in general. The most general solution of the Jacobi equation in R-3 is proposed. The form of the solution is shown to be valid also in the neighborhood of some irregular points. Compatible Poisson structures and corresponding bi-Hamiltonian systems are also discussed. Hamiltonian structures, the classification of irregular points and the corresponding reduced first order differential equations of several examples are given. (C) 2003 American Institute...
