Asynchronously switching control of discrete-time switched systems with a $\Phi$-dependent integrated dwell time approach

1.   Introduction

A Poisson algebra is a triple, $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, - } \right])$, where $(L, \cdot)$ is a commutative associative algebra and $(L, \left[{-, - } \right])$ is a Lie algebra that satisfies the following Leibniz rule:

Poisson algebras appear naturally in the study of Hamiltonian mechanics and play a significant role in mathematics and physics, such as in applications of Poisson manifolds, integral systems, algebraic geometry, quantum groups, and quantum field theory (see ^[7,11,24,25]). Poisson algebras can be viewed as the algebraic counterpart of Poisson manifolds. With the development of Poisson algebras, many other algebraic structures have been found, such as Jacobi algebras ^[1,9], Poisson bialgebras ^[20,23], Gerstenhaber algebras, Lie-Rinehart algebras ^[16,17,26], $F$-manifold algebras ^[12], Novikov-Poisson algebras ^[28], quasi-Poisson algebras ^[8] and Poisson $n$-Lie algebras ^[10].

As a dual notion of a Poisson algebra, the concept of a transposed Poisson algebra was recently introduced by Bai et al. ^[2]. A transposed Poisson algebra $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, - } \right])$ is defined by exchanging the roles of the two binary operations in the Leibniz rule defining the Poisson algebra:

where $(L, \cdot)$ is a commutative associative algebra and $(L, \left[{-, - } \right])$ is a Lie algebra.

It is shown that a transposed Poisson algebra possesses many important identities and properties and can be naturally obtained by taking the commutator in the Novikov-Poisson algebra ^[2]. There are many results on transposed Poisson algebras, such as those on transposed Hom-Poisson algebras ^[18], transposed BiHom-Poisson algebras ^[21], a bialgebra theory for transposed Poisson algebras ^[19], the relation between $\frac{1}{2}$-derivations of Lie algebras and transposed Poisson algebras ^[14], the relation between $\frac{1}{2}$-biderivations and transposed Poisson algebras ^[29], and the transposed Poisson structures with fixed Lie algebras (see ^[6] for more details).

The notion of an $n$-Lie algebra (see Definition 2.1), as introduced by Filippov ^[15], has found use in many fields in mathematics and physics ^[4,5,22,27]. The explicit construction of $n$-Lie algebras has become one of the important problems in this theory. In ^[3], Bai et al. gave a construction of $(n+1)$-Lie algebras through the use of $n$-Lie algebras and some linear functions. In ^[13], Dzhumadil′daev introduced the notion of a Poisson $n$-Lie algebra which can be used to construct an ($n+1$)-Lie algebra under an additional strong condition. In ^[2], Bai et al. showed that this strong condition for $n = 2$ holds automatically for a transposed Poisson algebra, and they gave a construction of 3-Lie algebras from transposed Poisson algebras with derivations. They also found that this constructed $3$-Lie algebra and the commutative associative algebra satisfy the analog of the compatibility condition for transposed Poisson algebras, which is called a transposed Poisson $3$-Lie algebra. This motivated them to introduce the concept of a transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra (see Definition 2.2) and propose the following conjecture:

Conjecture 1.1. ^[2] Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer and $(L, \cdot, \mu_n)$ a transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra. Let $D$ be a derivation of $(L, \cdot)$ and $(L, \mu_n)$. Define an $(n+1)$-ary operation:

where $\hat{x}_i$ means that the $i$-th entry is omitted. Then, $(L, \cdot, \mu_{n+1})$ is a transposed Poisson $(n+1)$-Lie algebra.

In this paper, based on the identities for transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras given in Section 2, we prove that Conjecture 1.1 holds under a certain strong condition described in Section 3 (see Definition 2.3 and Theorem 3.2).

Throughout the paper, all vector spaces are taken over a field of characteristic zero. To simplify notations, the commutative associative multiplication $(\cdot)$ will be omitted unless the emphasis is needed.

2.   Identities in transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras

In this section, we first recall some definitions, and then we exhibit a class of identities for transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras.

Definition 2.1. ^[15] Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer. An $n$-Lie algebra is a vector space $L$, together with a skew-symmetric linear map $\left[{-, \cdots, - } \right]:{ \otimes ^n}L \to L$, such that, for any $x_i, y_j \in L, 1 \le i \le n-1, 1 \le j \le n,$ the following identity holds:

Definition 2.2. ^[2] Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer and $L$ a vector space. The triple $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ is called a transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra if $(L, \cdot)$ is a commutative associative algebra and $(L, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ is an $n$-Lie algebra such that, for any $h, {x_i} \in L, 1 \le i \le n$, the following identity holds:

Some identities for transposed Poisson algebras in ^[2] can be extended to the following theorem for transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras.

Theorem 2.1. Let $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ be a transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra. Then, the following identities hold:

(1) For any $x_i\in L, 1\leq i\leq n+1$, we have

(2) For any $h, x_i, y_j\in L, 1\leq i\leq n-1, 1\leq j\leq n$, we have

(3) For any $x_i, y_j\in L, 1\leq i\leq n-1, 1\leq j\leq n+1$, we have

(4) For any $x_1, x_2, y_i\in L, 1\leq i\leq n$, we have

Proof. (1) By Eq (2.2), for any $1\leq i\leq n+1$, we have

Thus, we obtain

Note that, for any $i > j$, we have

which gives $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n + 1} {\sum\limits_{j = 1, j \ne i}^{n + 1} {{{(- 1)}^{i - 1}}\left[{{x_1}, \cdots, {{\hat x}_i}, \cdots, {x_i}{x_j}, \cdots, {x_{n + 1}}} \right]} } = 0.$

Hence, we get

(2) By Eq (2.2), we have

and, for any $1\leq j\leq n$,

By taking the sum of the above $n+1$ identities and applying Eq (2.1), we get

We denote

Then, the above equation can be rewritten as

By applying Eq (2.1) to ${{A_j}}, 1\leq j\leq n$, we have

Thus, we get

By applying Eq (2.1) to ${{B_i}}, 1\leq i\leq n-1$, we have

Thus, we get

Note that, by Eq (2.2), we have

Thus, we obtain

By substituting these equations into Eq (2.7), we have

which implies that

Therefore, the proof of Eq (2.4) is completed.

(3) By Eq (2.2), for any $1\leq j\leq n+1$, we have

By taking the sum of the above $n+1$ identities, we obtain

Thus, we only need to prove the following equation:

Note that

Hence, the conclusion holds.

(4) By applying Eq (2.2), we have

which gives

Hence, the proof is completed.

To prove Conjecture 1.1, we need the following extra condition.

Definition 2.3. A transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ is called strong if the following identity holds:

for any ${y_1}, {y_2}, {x_i}\in L, 1\leq i\leq n - 1.$

Remark 2.1. When $n = 2$, the identity is

which is exactly Theorem 2.5 (11) in ^[2]. Thus, in the case of a transposed Poisson algebra, the strong condition always holds. So far, we cannot prove that the strong condition fails to hold for $n\geq 3.$

Proposition 2.1. Let $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ be a strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra. Then,

for any ${y_1}, {y_2}, {x_i} \in L, 1\leq i\leq n - 1$.

Proof. By Eq (2.3), we have

Then, the statement follows from Eq (2.8).

3.   Proof of the conjecture for strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras

In this section, we will prove Conjecture 1.1 for strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras. First, we recall the notion of derivations of transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras.

Definition 3.1. Let $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ be a transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra. The linear operation $D: L\rightarrow L$ is called a derivation of $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ if the following holds for any $u, v, x_{i}\in L, 1\leq i\leq n$:

(1) $D$ is a derivation of $\left({L, \cdot} \right)$, i.e., $D\left({uv} \right) = D\left(u \right)v + uD\left(v \right)$;

(2) $D$ is a derivation of $(L, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$, i.e.,

Lemma 3.1. Let $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ be a transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra and $D$ a derivation of $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$. For any $y_i\in L, 1\leq i\leq n+1$, we have the following:

(1)

(2)

where, for any $i > j$, $\sum\limits_{i}^{j}$ denotes the empty sum, which is equal to zero.

Proof. (1) The statement follows immediately from Definition 3.1.

(2) By applying Eq (3.1), we need to prove the following equation:

For any $1\leq i\leq n+1$, denote $A_i : = n\sum\limits_{j = 1, j \ne i}^{n + 1} {{{(- 1)}^{i - 1}}D({y_i})\left[{{y_1}, \cdots, D({y_j}), \cdots, {{\hat y}_i}, \cdots, {y_{n + 1}}} \right]}$. Then, we have

Note that

Thus, we have

where

Note that

where ${B_{ji}} = {(- 1)^{j - 1}}\left[{{y_1}, \cdots, D({y_j})D({y_i}), \cdots, {{\hat y}_j}, \cdots, {y_{n + 1}}} \right]$ for any $1\leq j\neq i\leq n+1$, and ${B_{ii}} = 0$ for any $1\leq i\leq n+1$.

For any $1\leq i, j\leq n+1,$ without loss of generality, assume that $i < j$; then, we have

which implies that ${T_1} = \sum\limits_{j, i = 1}^{n + 1} {{B_{ji}}} = 0.$

Thus, we get that $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n + 1} { {{A_i}} } = {T_2}$.

We rewrite

where

Note that

where

For any $1\leq j, k\leq n+1,$ without loss of generality, assume that $t < i;$ then, we have

which implies that ${M_1} = 0.$

Therefore, we only need to prove the following equation:

First, we have

Thus,

Note that, for any $1\leq j\leq n+1,$ we have

Similarly, we have

Thus,

The proof is completed.

Theorem 3.1. Let $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$ be a strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra and $D$ a derivation of $(L, \cdot, \left[{-, \cdots, - } \right])$. Define an $(n + 1)$-ary operation:

for any ${x_i}\in L, 1\leq i\leq n+1.$ Then, $(L, \mu_{n+1})$ is an $(n+1)$-Lie algebra.

Proof. For convenience, we denote

On one hand, we have

On the other hand, for any $1\leq k\leq n$, we have

We denote

where

By Eq (2.5), for fixed $j$, we have

So, we obtain that ${{A_2}} = 0.$

By Eq (2.3), for fixed $j$ and $k$, we have

So, we obtain that ${{A_3}} = 0.$

By Eq (2.5), for fixed $j$ and $t$, we have

So, we obtain that ${{A_4}} = 0.$

By Eq (2.9), for fixed $i$ and $k$, we have

Thus, we obtain

By Eq (2.3), for fixed $j$ and $k$, we have

Thus, we get

By Eq (2.4), for fixed $j$ and $i$, we have

So, we obtain

By Eq (2.9), we have

So, we get

Thus, we have

Therefore, $(L, \mu_{n+1})$ is an $(n+1)$-Lie algebra.

Now, we can prove Conjecture 1.1 for strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras.

Theorem 3.2. With the notations in Theorem 3.1, $(L, \cdot, \mu_{n+1})$ is a strong transposed Poisson $(n + 1)$-Lie algebra.

Proof. For convenience, we denote ${\mu _{n + 1}}\left({{x_1}, \cdots, {x_{n + 1}}} \right): = \left[{{x_1}, \cdots, {x_{n + 1}}} \right].$ According to Theorem 3.1, we only need to prove Eqs (2.2) and (2.8).

Proof of Eq (2.2). By Eq (3.3), we have

Proof of Eq (2.8). By Eq (3.3), we have

where

and, for any $1\leq i\leq n,$

By Eq (2.3), we have

Similarly, we have that ${A_2} = 0.$

By Eq (2.8), for any $1\leq i\leq n$, we have

Thus, we get

The proof is completed.

Example 3.1. The commutative associative algebra $L = k[x_1, x_2, x_3]$, together with the bracket

gives a transposed Poisson algebra $(L, \cdot, [-, -])$, where ${D_1} = \partial_{x_1}$ ([2, Proposition 2.2]). Note that the transposed Poisson algebra $(L, \cdot, [-, -])$ is strong according to Remark 2.5. Now, let ${D_2} = \partial_{x_2}$; one can check that $D_2$ is a derivation of $(L, \cdot, [-, -])$. Then, there exists a strong transposed Poisson 3-Lie algebra defined by

We note that $[{x_1}, {x_2}, {x_3}] = {x_3}$, which is non-zero. The strong condition can be checked as follows:

For any $h, y_1, y_2, z_1, z_2\in L,$ by a direct calculation, we have

Thus, we get

4.   Conclusions

We have studied transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras. We first established an important class of identities for transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras, which were subsequently used throughout the paper. We believe that the identities developed here will be useful in investigations of the structure of transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras in the future. Then, we introduced the notion of a strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra and derived an $(n+1)$-Lie algebra from a strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebra with a derivation. Finally, we proved the conjecture of Bai et al. ^[2] for strong transposed Poisson $n$-Lie algebras.
