In this article, we address the question of relating the stability properties of an operator with the stability properties of its associate symmetric operator. The linear-algebra results of Bendixson and Hirsch indicate that the symmetric part of a matrix is always less stable than the matrix itself. We show that in a variety of cases, including infinite dimen- sional cases associated to systems of PDEs, the same result is valid. We also discuss the applicability to non-autonomous systems, and we show that, in general, this result is not valid. We also review some of the literature that in these years has appeared on the subject.

Abstract
In this article, we address the question of relating the stability properties of an operator with the stability properties of its associate symmetric operator. The linear-algebra results of Bendixson and Hirsch indicate that the symmetric part of a matrix is always less stable than the matrix itself. We show that in a variety of cases, including infinite dimen- sional cases associated to systems of PDEs, the same result is valid. We also discuss the applicability to non-autonomous systems, and we show that, in general, this result is not valid. We also review some of the literature that in these years has appeared on the subject.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
