On indefinite damping and gyroscopic stabilization

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Alberto Padoan .

We consider linear vibrational systems with positive definite stiffness matrix $K$ and indefinite damping matrix $D$. For the system to be stabilizable by gyroscopic forces it is necessary that both the trace of $D$ and the trace of $K^{-1}D$ is negative. In the present talk we discuss sufficiency of this condition. As tools we derive results on hollow matrices and symplectic transformations.
