International organisations reflect global power configurations and as such, are deemed to reproduce global inequalities. Nevertheless, they also represent opportunities for the Global South to challenge the global ...

A novel formulation for the problem of optimal controller order reduction for continuous-time linear systems is presented. The H2 or the H∞-norms of the error realization between the full and the reduced order controlled ...

This article assesses the BRICS’ position on the emerging global norm of the Responsibility to Protect, analyses the year 2011, when all the BRICS occupied a seat on the UN Security Council, and asks how the rise of the ...

A branch and bound algorithm is proposed to solve the H2-norm model reduction problem and the H2-norm controller reduction problem, with conditions assuring convergence to the global optimum in finite time. The lower and ...

While virtually all elements of the original agenda of the ‘Washington Consensus’ have become global policy norms over the course of the past twenty years, the case of free capital mobility stands out as an outlier. In his ...

Lidskii's additive inequalities (both for eigenvalues and singular values) can be interpreted as an explicit description of global minimizers of functions that are built on unitarily invariant norms, with domains consisting ...
