We investigate an example of noise-induced stabilization in the plane that was also considered in (Gawedzki, Herzog, Wehr 2010) and (Birrell, Herzog, Wehr 2011). We show that despite the deterministic system not being globally stable, the…

Input-to-state stability (ISS) of switched systems is studied where the individual subsystems are connected in a serial cascade configuration, and the states are allowed to reset at switching times. An ISS Lyapunov function is associated to…
We study singularly perturbed systems that exhibit input-to-state stability (ISS) with fixed-time properties in the presence of bounded disturbances. In these systems, solutions converge to the origin within a time frame independent of…
We prove a robust converse barrier function theorem via the converse Lyapunov theory. While the use of a Lyapunov function as a barrier function is straightforward, the existence of a converse Lyapunov function as a barrier function for a…
We propose a stability analysis method for sampled-data switched linear systems with finite-level static quantizers. In the closed-loop system, information on the active mode of the plant is transmitted to the controller only at each…
