We consider quasilinear elliptic systems in divergence form. In general, we cannot expect that weak solutions are locally bounded because of De Giorgi's counterexample. Here we assume a condition on the support of off-diagonal coefficients…

Classical sufficient conditions for ensuring the robust stability of a dynamical system in feedback with a nonlinearity include passivity, small gain, circle, and conicity theorems. We present a generalized version of these results for…
The stability of linear dynamic systems with hysteresis in feedback is considered. While the absolute stability for memoryless nonlinearities (known as Lure's problem) can be proved by the well-known circle criterion, the multivalued…
Assessment of the degree of boundedness/stability of multidimensional nonlinear systems with time-dependent and nonperiodic coefficients is an important problem in various applied areas which has no adequate resolution yet. Most of the…
We consider Lurye (sometimes written Lur'e) systems whose nonlinear operator is characterised by a possibly multivalued nonlinearity that is bounded above and below by monotone functions. Stability can be established using a sub-class of…
Partial incorrectness logic (partial reverse Hoare logic) has recently been introduced as a new Hoare-style logic that over-approximates the weakest pre-conditions of a program and a post-condition. It is expected to verify systems where…
