We study path-complete Lyapunov functions, which are stability criteria for switched systems, described by a combinatorial component (namely, an automaton), and a functional component (a set of candidate Lyapunov functions, called the…
We analyze the two-point motions of iterated function systems on the unit interval generated by expanding and contracting affine maps, where the expansion and contraction rates are determined by a pair $(M,N)$ of integers. This dynamics…
We present new theorems characterizing robust Lyapunov functions and infinite horizon value functions in optimal control as unique viscosity solutions of partial differential equations. We use these results to further extend Zubov's method…
In this paper we establish uniform large deviations estimates of exponential type and H\"older continuity of the Lyapunov exponents for random non-invertible cocycles with constant rank.
Ergodic properties of rational maps are studied, generalising the work of F.\ Ledrappier. A new construction allows for simpler proofs of stronger results. Very general conformal measures are considered. Equivalent conditions are given for…
This paper deals with several related notions of output stability with respect to inputs. The inputs may be thought of as disturbances; when there are no inputs, one obtains generalizations of the classical concepts of partial stability.…
This paper is concerned with the problem of finding a quadratic common Lyapunov function for a family of stable linear systems. We present gradient iteration algorithms which give deterministic convergence for finite system families and…

In this article, we propose a Lyapunov stability approach to analyze the convergence of the density operator of a quantum system. In contrast to many previously studied convergence analysis methods for invariant density operators which use…
Control Lyapunov function is a central tool in stabilization. It generalizes an abstract energy function -- a Lyapunov function -- to the case of controlled systems. It is a known fact that most control Lyapunov functions are non-smooth --…
We apply the maximum entropy principle to construct the natural invariant density and Lyapunov exponent of one-dimensional chaotic maps. Using a novel function reconstruction technique that is based on the solution of Hausdorff moment…
This paper proposes the construction of a coercive ISS-Lyapunov functional for linear regular infinite-dimensional system. Indeed, as already known, Lyapunov functionals for infinite-dimensional systems might be not coercive. Under the…
We prove that (local) input-to-state stability ((L)ISS) and integral input-to-state stability (iISS) of time-varying infinite-dimensional systems in abstract spaces follows from the existence of a {corresponding} Lyapunov function. In…
The present work provides two alternatives to formulate time-discounted incremental input/output-to-state stability (i-IOSS) as a suitable detectability notion for general nonlinear systems with non-additive disturbances. Both formulations…

In the context of mechanical Lagrangian dynamics, we prove a new Lyapunov instability criterion for a non strict local minimum equilibrium point of a smooth potential where the sufficient condition for instability is the existence of a…
In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of Lyapunov exponents of linear differential system are proved in the sense that the equations satisfy the weaker form of integral separation instead of its classical…

Unlike ordinary differential equations (ODEs), linear partial differential equations (PDEs) admit multiple non-equivalent notions of stability. This variety makes interpretation of Lyapunov stability results challenging. \blue{To simplify…
We show how to use Lyapunov functions to obtain functional inequalities which are stronger than Poincar\'e inequality (for instance logarithmic Sobolev or $F$-Sobolev). The case of Poincar\'e and weak Poincar\'e inequalities was studied in…
