Setup: Suppose we are given a smooth function $\phi$ that has a nondegenerate minimum at $x=0$. Then we can choose a coordinate system $x$ such that the gradient is given by $$X = \mathrm{grad} \phi = ...

Consider a positive linear dynamical system. $\frac{dx}{dt}=Ax$, where $A$ is a quasipositive/Metzler/essentially nonnegative matrix. By its properties, the vector $x$ will remain positive for all ...

Does Oja's rule for normalized Hebbian learning always result in a unit eigenvector which corresponds to the largest eigenvalue? Or are there any specific conditions or assumptions under which this is ...
