Welcome to Edinburgh Napier Research Repository

The ‘Research Repository’ is the open access institutional repository of Edinburgh Napier University. It contains examples of research outputs produced by staff and research students, as well as related information about the university's funded projects and staff research interests.

Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided. Any questions about submissions to the repository or problems with access to any of its content should be sent to the Repository Team at repository@napier.ac.uk

A mixed passivity/small-gain theorem and its application to output regulation for passive systems (2024)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., Logemann, H., & Opmeer, M. R. (in press). A mixed passivity/small-gain theorem and its application to output regulation for passive systems. SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization,

A stability theorem for the feedback connection of two (possibly infinite-dimensional) time-invariant linear systems is presented. The theorem is formulated in the frequency domain and is in the spirit of combined passivity/small-gain results. It pla...

The Basel Problem Revisited: Unveiling a Novel Computational Methodology in Infinite Series Analysis (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Fascia, M. The Basel Problem Revisited: Unveiling a Novel Computational Methodology in Infinite Series Analysis

This paper reexamines the Basel problem, an inquiry into the sum of the infinite series of squared reciprocals, famously resolved by Leonhard Euler. Euler's resolution has left a lasting legacy on the domains of mathematical analysis, number theory,...
