    Abstract
    Relative perturbation bounds for stable linear gyroscopic systems $\displaystyle M \ddot x(t) + G\dot x(t) + K x(t) = 0$ are considered, where $M, K\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ are symmetric, $M$ is positive definite, $K$ negative definite and $G \in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ is skew-symmetric such that $|G| > k M - k^{-1} K$ for some $k>0$. This means that all of the eigenvalues of the system are \textcolor{red}{purely} imaginary and semi-simple. For this kind of systems, we present an upper bound for the relative change in eigenvalues as well as the $\sin\Theta$ type bound for the corresponding eigenvectors under the perturbation of the system matrices. The performance of obtained bounds is illustrated in numerical experiments.

    Abstract
    In this paper we consider linear gyroscopic mechanical systems. More precisely, we consider the perturbation theory for stable gyroscopic systems. We present new relative perturbation bounds for the eigenvalues as well as the bounds for the perturbation of the corresponding eigenspaces. Derived bounds are dependent only on system matrices of the original and perturbed systems. The quality of obtained results is illustrated in the numerical experiment.
  4. I. Kuzmanović Ivičić, S. Miodragović, M. Ugrica, The tan Θ theorem for definite matrix pairs, Linear and multilinear algebra 70 (2022), 1-17
    Abstract
    In this paper, we consider the perturbation of a Hermitian matrix pair $(H,M)$, where $H$ and $M$ are non-singular and positive definite Hermitian matrices, respectively. A novel upper bound on a tangent of the angles between the eigenspaces of perturbed and unperturbed pairs is derived under a perturbation to the off-diagonal blocks of $H$. The rotation of the eigenspaces under a perturbation is measured in the matrix-dependent scalar product. We show that a $tanTheta$ bound for the standard eigenvalue problem is a special case of our new bound and that the obtained bound can be much sharper than the existing $sinTheta$ bounds.

    Abstract
    This paper introduces a new formal theory, the theory of M-system, which represents a many-valued logic system. Basic terms and concepts are defined which are the foundation for their further application. Though the theory comes from the field of electric circuitry, an attempt will be made to extend it to applications in linguistics. To check the examples used in this paper, a Haskell program was made, which can be found at https://www.schoolofhaskell.com/user/ivazler/linguistic.

    Abstract
    In this paper we consider damping optimization in mechanical system excited by an external force. We use optimization criteria based on minimizing average energy amplitude and average displacement amplitude over the arbitrary time. As the main result we derive explicit formulas for objective functions. These formulas can be implemented efficiently and accelerate optimization process significantly, which is illustrated in a numerical example.

    Abstract
    This paper deals with an efficient algorithm for optimization of the solution of the parameter-dependent Sylvester equation $(A_0-vC_1C_2^T)X(v)+X(v)(B_0-vD_1D_2^T)=E, $ where $A_0$ is $mtimes m$, $B_0$ is $ntimes n$, $C_1$ and $C_2$ are $mtimes r_1$, $D_1$ and $D_2$ are $ntimes r_2$ and $X$ and $E$ are $mtimes n$ matrices. For optimization we use the following two optimization criteria: $tr(X(v))rightarrowmin$ and $|X(v)|_Frightarrowmin$. We present an efficient algorithm which derives formulas for the trace and for the Frobenius norm of the solution $X$ as functions $vrightarrowtr(X(v))$ and $vrightarrow|X(v)|_F$ as well as derivatives of these functions in a small amount of operations. That ensures fast optimization of these functions via standard optimization methods like the Newton method. A special case of this problem is a very important problem of dampers’ viscosity optimization in mechanical systems.

    Abstract
    In this paper we present the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury-type formula for the solution of the Sylvester equation of the form [(A_0+U_1V_1)X+X(B_0+U_2V_2)=E, ] as well as for the solution of the $T$-Sylvester equation of the form [ (A_0+U_1V_1)X+X^T(B_0+U_2V_2)=E, ] where $U_1, U_2, V_1, V_2$ are low-rank matrices. Although the matrix version of this formula for the Sylvester equation has been used in several different applications (but not for the case of a $T$-Sylvester equation), we present a novel approach using a proper operator representation. This novel approach allows us to derive a matrix version of the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury-type formula for the Sylvester equation, as well as for the $T$-Sylvester equation which seems to be new. We also present algorithms for the efficient calculation of the solution of Sylvester and $T$-Sylvester equations by using these formulas and illustrate their application in several examples.

    Abstract
    This paper considers optimal parameters for modal damping $D=Mf_1(M^{-1}K;alpha_1,dots,alpha_k)+Kf_2(K^{-1}M;alpha_1,dots,alpha_k)$ in mechanical systems described by the equation $Mddot{x}+Ddot{x}+Kx=0 $, where matrices $M$ and $K$ are mass and stiffness matrices, respectively. Different models of proportional and generalized proportional damping are considered and optimal parameters with respect to different optimization criteria related to the solution of the corresponding Lyapunov equation are given. Also, some specific example problems are compared with respect to the optimal and estimated parameters.

    Abstract
    This paper based on M-theory wants to show the correlation of Cartesian product of elements of ordered set with a basic, multi-value logic. Using simple algorithms discovered by M. Sare in the natural laws of electrical networks, it is possible to construct logical tables, i.e. grids, for all logic functions of n variables.

    Abstract
    This paper considers Lyapunov and T -Lyapunov matrix equations. Lyapunov equation is a matrix equation of the form AX + XA^T = E which plays a vital role in a number of applications, while T -Lyapunov equation is a matrix equation of the form AX +X^TA^T = E. In this paper the relation between these equations will be exploit with purpose of applying obtained results in problems regarding damping optimization in mechanical systems.

    Abstract
    Problem školskog rasporeda vrlo je zastupljen problem koji s vremenom postaje sve složeniji jer je pri izradi rasporeda sve više uvjeta i ograničenja koji moraju biti zadovoljeni. U ovom radu prikazan je matematički model osnovnog problema rasporeda sati. Već u tom sasvim jednostavnom slučaju vidljivo je da se radi o vrlo složenom problemu koji svakim dodatnim uvjetom postaje sve složeniji sa sve manjim brojem rješenja. Danas je dostupno mnogo aplikacija koje pomažu pri izradi rasporeda, a sve se baziraju na nekoj matematičkoj metodi za pronalaženje optimalnog rješenja.
