We develop a practical approach to establish the stability, that is, the recurrence in a given set, of a large class of controlled Markov chains. These processes arise in various areas of applied science and encompass important numerical…

During the past 15 years, several extensions of the concepts noise sensitivity and noise stability, first coined in~\cite{schramm2000}, has been studied. The purpose in this paper is to give definitions of this concepts in the setting of…
We are interested in establishing weak and strong well-posedness for McKean-Vlasov SDEs with additive stable noise and a convolution type non-linear drift with singular interaction kernel in the framework of Lebesgue-Besov spaces. In…
We show a linear response statement for fixed points of a family of Markov operators which are perturbations of mixing and regularizing operators. We apply the statement to random dynamical systems on the interval given by a deterministic…
The stability of stochastic Model Predictive Control (MPC) subject to additive disturbances is often demonstrated in the literature by constructing Lyapunov-like inequalities that guarantee closed-loop performance bounds and boundedness of…
Consider a collection of particles whose state evolution is described through a system of interacting diffusions in which each particle is driven by an independent individual source of noise and also by a small amount of noise that is…
The effective resistance between a pair of nodes in a weighted undirected graph is defined as the potential difference induced between them when a unit current is injected at the first node and extracted at the second node, treating edge…

In this paper, we study the consensus problem for networked dynamic systems with arbitrary initial states, and present some structural characterization and direct construction of consensus functions. For the consensus problem under similar…
We consider the following distributed consensus problem: Each node in a complete communication network of size $n$ initially holds an \emph{opinion}, which is chosen arbitrarily from a finite set $\Sigma$. The system must converge toward a…
This work addresses the design of multi-agent coordination through high-order consensus protocols. While first-order consensus strategies are well-studied -- with known robustness to uncertainties such as time delays, time-varying weights,…
This paper considers small gain theorems for the global asymptotic and exponential input-to-state stability for discrete time time-delay systems using Razumikhin-type Lyapunov function. Among other things, unlike the existing literature, it…
We consider the problem of learning a graph from a finite set of noisy graph signal observations, the goal of which is to find a smooth representation of the graph signal. Such a problem is motivated by the desire to infer relational…
In this paper, we consider discrete-time non-linear stochastic dynamical systems with additive process noise in which both the initial state and noise distributions are uncertain. Our goal is to quantify how the uncertainty in these…
We study a generic family of nonlinear dynamics on undirected networks generalising linear consensus. We find a compact expression for its equilibrium points in terms of the topology of the network and classify their stability using the…
In this paper, we study a class of equations representing nonlinear diffusion on networks. A particular instance of our model can be seen as a network equivalent of the porous-medium equation. We are interested in studying perturbations of…

The paper studies average consensus with random topologies (intermittent links) \emph{and} noisy channels. Consensus with noise in the network links leads to the bias-variance dilemma--running consensus for long reduces the bias of the…
In this paper we propose a novel consensus protocol for discrete-time multi-agent systems (MAS), which solves the dynamic consensus problem on the max value, i.e., the dynamic max-consensus problem. In the dynamic max-consensus problem to…
