Two types of dynamics, chaotic and monotone, are compared. It is shown that monotone maps in strongly ordered spaces do not have chaotic attracting sets.
We study the fixed point problem for a system of multivariate operators that are coordinate-wise monotone (i.e., nondecreasing or nonincreasing in each of the variables, independently), in the setting of quasi-ordered sets. We show that…
In this paper, we address the problem of robust stability for uncertain sampled-data systems controlled by a discrete-time disturbance observer (DT-DOB). Unlike most of previous works that rely on the small-gain theorem, our approach is to…
