We address the problem of determining if a discrete time switched consensus system converges for any switching sequence and that of determining if it converges for at least one switching sequence. For these two problems, we provide…

We present a new result on the nonexistence of generalized bent functions (GBFs)from (Z/tZ)^n to Z/tZ (called type [n, t]) for a large class. Assume p is an odd prime number. By showing certain quadratic norm form equations having no…
In this note, we propose coordinate-invariant notions of incremental Lyapunov function and provide characterizations of incremental stability in terms of existence of the proposed Lyapunov functions.
In this paper we make a detailed numerical comparison between three algorithms for the computation of the full Lyapunov spectrum as well as the associated eigen-vectors of general dynamical systems. They are : (a) the standard method, (b) a…
The proximal gradient algorithm for minimizing the sum of a smooth and a nonsmooth convex function often converges linearly even without strong convexity. One common reason is that a multiple of the step length at each iteration may…
We give an explicit example of a two-dimensional polynomial vector field of degree seven that has rational coefficients, is globally asymptotically stable, but does not admit an analytic Lyapunov function even locally.
This paper provides sufficient conditions for stability of switched linear systems under dwell-time switching. Piece-wise quadratic functions are utilized to characterize the Lyapunov functions and bilinear matrix inequalities conditions…

In this short note, we describe some recent results on the pointwise existence of the Lyapunov exponent for certain quasi-periodic cocyles.
We show that linear analytic cocycles where all Lyapunov exponents are negative infinite are nilpotent. For such one-frequency cocycles we show that they can be analytically conjugated to an upper triangular cocycle or a Jordan normal form.…
In many applications, there is a desire to determine if the dynamics of interest are chaotic or not. Since positive Lyapunov exponents are a signature for chaos, they are often used to determine this. Reliable estimates of Lyapunov…
In this paper, an asymptotic stability proof for a class of methods for inexact nonlinear model predictive control is presented. General Q-linearly convergent online optimization methods are considered and an asymptotic stability result is…
