A method of symmetrization of asymmetric dynamical systems

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to transform asymmetric systems into symmetric systems by equivalence transformation and discusses what forms of restrictions should be imposed on the system matrices so that they can be simultaneously transformed into symmetric matrices. Conditions of symmetrizability obtained here are more "liberal" and numerical calculations of this transformation are more straightforward. Several examples are provided to illustrate the new approach. © 2005 - IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved.
