The paper deals with systems of ordinary differential equations containing in the right-hand side controls which are discontinuous in phase variables. These controls cause the occurrence of sliding modes. If one uses one of the well-known…
The main result of the paper is a global asymptotic stability result for solutions to the Lifschitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW) system of equations. This extends some local asymptotic stability results of Niethammer-Vel\'{a}zquez (2006). The…
This note presents an extension to the adaptive control strategy presented in [1] able to counter eventual instability due to disturbances at the input of an otherwise $\mathcal{L}_2$ stable closed-loop system. These disturbances are due to…
Differential analysis aims at inferring global properties of nonlinear behaviors from the local analysis of the linearized dynamics. The paper motivates and illustrates the use of differential analysis on the nonlinear pendulum model, an…
We establish the existence of a full spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for memoryless random dynamical systems with absorption. To this end, we crucially embed the process conditioned to never being absorbed, the $Q$-process, into the…
This article establishes the existence of Lyapunov functions for analyzing the stability of a class of state-constrained systems, and it describes algorithms for their numerical computation. The system model consists of a differential…
We establish both global existence and decay properties for solutions with small data for a general class of coupled system of tensorial quasilinear hyperbolic wave equations in three space dimensions, that covers the dynamical Einstein…
In this paper we obtain uniformly locally $L^{\infty}$-estimate of solutions to non-autonomous quasilinear system involving operators in divergence form and a family of nonlinearities that are allowed to grow also critically.
We consider a continuous-time linear time-invariant dynamical system that admits an invariant cone. For the case of a self-dual and homogeneous cone we show that if the system is asymptotically stable then it admits a quadratic Lyapunov…
The work concerns nonlinear filtering problems of stochastic differential equations with correlated L\'evy noises. First, we establish the Kushner-Stratonovich and Zakai equations through martingale representation theorems and the…
In this paper, we present an iterative steering algorithm for nonholonomic systems (also called driftless control-affine systems) and we prove its global convergence under the sole assumption that the Lie Algebraic Rank Condition (LARC)…
Most of nonlinear robust control methods just consider the affine nonlinear nominal model. When the nominal model is assumed to be affine nonlinear, available information about existing non-affine nonlinearities is ignored. For non-affine…
In this paper we apply techniques from nonstandard analysis to study expansive dynamical systems. Among other results, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for an expansive homeomorphism on a compact metric space to admit…
We develop a method to prove almost global stability of stochastic differential equations in the sense that almost every initial point (with respect to the Lebesgue measure) is asymptotically attracted to the origin with unit probability.…
For a nonautonomous linear system with nonuniform contraction, we construct a topological equivalence between this system and an unbounded nonlinear perturbation. This topological equivalence is constructed as a composition of…
First order optimization algorithms play a major role in large scale machine learning. A new class of methods, called adaptive algorithms, were recently introduced to adjust iteratively the learning rate for each coordinate. Despite great…

This paper is concerned with incremental stability properties of nonlinear systems. We propose conditions to compute an upper bound on the incremental L2-gain and to assess incremental asymptotic stability of piecewise-affine (PWA) systems.…
The goal of the paper is to analytically examine escape probabilities for dynamical systems driven by symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy motions. Since escape probabilities are solutions of a type of integro-differential equations (i.e.,…
