Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Provides One Unified Formula That Gives Solutions to Several Types of GSEsGeneralized Sylvester equations (GSEs) are applied in many fields including applied mathematics systems and control and signal processing. Generalized Sylvester Equations: Unified Parametric Solutions presents a unified parametric approach for solving various types of GSEs. In an extremely neat and elegant matrix form the book provides a single unified parametric solution formula for all the types of GSEs which further reduces to a specific clear vector form when the parameter matrix F in the equations is a Jordan matrix. Particularly when the parameter matrix F is diagonal the reduced vector form becomes extremely simple. The first chapter introduces several types of GSEs and gives a brief overview of solutions to GSEs. The two subsequent chapters then show the importance of GSEs using four typical control design applications and discuss the F‐coprimeness of a pair of polynomial matrices. The next several chapters deal with parametric solutions to GSEs. The final two chapters present analytical solutions to normal Sylvester equations (NSEs) including the well‐known continuous‐ and discrete‐time Lyapunov equations. An appendix provides the proofs of some theorems. The book can be used as a reference for graduate and senior undergraduate courses in applied mathematics and control systems analysis and design. It will also be useful to readers interested in research and applications based on Sylvester equations. | Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Surface and Interfacial Aspects of Cell Adhesion

Surface and Interfacial Aspects of Cell Adhesion

Cell adhesion comes into play in almost all domains of life. The range of situations in which it occurs involving organisms living tissues microorganisms or single cells is endless. Cell adhesion is involved in the binding of a cell to a surface extracellular matrix or another cell using cell adhesion molecules. It is crucial in the formation and maintenance of coherent multicellular structures. Cell surface adhesion molecules (integrins for example) which transmit information from the extracellular matrix to the cell play vital roles in numerous cellular processes. Some of these include: cell growth differentiation embryogenesis immune cell transmigration and response and cancer metastasis. Also cell adhesion is involved in most of pathological situations. This book is divided into four parts as follows: Part 1: Fundamentals of Cell Adhesion; Part 2: Methods to Study Cell Adhesion; Part 3: Surface Treatments to Control Cell Adhesion and Behavior; and Part 4: Cell Adhesion in Medicine and Therapy. A bountiful information is covered in this book which represents the cumulative wisdom of many world-renowned researchers( physicists materials scientists chemists and biologists) engaged in unraveling the mechanisms of cell adhesion and how to mitigate or control it. It quite patent from the topics covered in this book that the subject of cell adhesion is truly interdisciplinary.
