Willems et al. showed that all input-output trajectories of a discrete-time linear time-invariant system can be obtained using linear combinations of time shifts of a single, persistently exciting, input-output trajectory of that system. In…
Systems of random linear equations may or may not have solutions with all components being non-negative. The question is, e.g., of relevance when the unknowns are concentrations or population sizes. In the present paper we show that if such…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a class of Hamiltonian autonomous systems in dimension 4 which are completely integrable and their dynamics is described in all details. They have an equilibrium point which is stable for some rare…
This paper deals with the existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear system q(t)\phi(p(t)u'_{i}(t)))'+f^{i}(t,\textbf{u})=0,\quad 0<t<1,\quad i=1,2,...,n. This system often arises in the study of positive radial solutions of…
We analytically link three properties of nonlinear dynamical systems, namely sensitivity to initial conditions, entropy production, and escape rate, in $z$-logistic maps for both positive and zero Lyapunov exponents. We unify these…
We consider two algorithms which can be used for proving positivity of sequences that are defined by a linear recurrence equation with polynomial coefficients (P-finite sequences). Both algorithms have in common that while they do succeed…
This paper studies finite-time stability and instability theorems in probability sense for stochastic nonlinear systems. Firstly, a new sufficient condition is proposed to guarantee that the considered system has a global solution.…
We extend the theory of transience to general dynamical systems with no Markov structure assumed. This is linked to the theory of phase transitions. We also provide examples of new kinds of transient behaviour.
The aim of this manuscript is to understand the dynamics of products of nonnegative matrices. We extend a well known consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem on the periodic points of a nonnegative matrix to products of finitely many…
This paper is concerned with the convergence rate of the solutions of nonlinear switched systems. We first consider a switched system which is asymptotically stable for a class of inputs but not for all inputs. We show that solutions…
Consider a spectrally positive L\'evy process $Z$ with log-Laplace exponent $\Psi$ and a positive continuous function $R$ on $(0,\infty)$. We investigate the entrance from $\infty$ of the process $X$ obtained by changing time in $Z$ with…
A class of discrete-time nonlinear positive time-delay switched systems with sector-type nonlinearities is studied. Sufficient conditions for the existence of common and switched diagonal Lyapunov--Krasovskii functionals for this system…
We study qualitative properties of positive solutions of noncooperative, possibly nonvariational, elliptic systems. We obtain new classification and Liouville type theorems in the whole Euclidean space, as well as in half-spaces, and deduce…
Dynamical systems whose linearizations along trajectories are positive in the sense that they infinitesimally contract a smooth cone field are called differentially positive. The property can be thought of as a generalization of…
We explicitly construct global strict Lyapunov functions for rapidly time-varying nonlinear control systems. The Lyapunov functions we construct are expressed in terms of oftentimes more readily available Lyapunov functions for the limiting…
We study the evolution of observables of dynamical systems. For linear systems, we show that observables satisfy a closed differential equation whose minimal order is determined by the dynamical system and observation operator. This yields…
This paper presents a small-gain theorem for networks composed of a countably infinite number of finite-dimensional subsystems. Assuming that each subsystem is exponentially input-to-state stable, we show that if the gain operator,…
Reactivity, contractivity, and Lyapunov exponents are powerful tools for studying the stability properties of dynamical systems and have been extensively investigated in the literature for decades. In this paper, we review and extend the…
We analyse the so-called Marginal Instability of linear switching systems, both in continuous and discrete time. This is a phenomenon of unboundedness of trajectories when the Lyapunov exponent is zero. We disprove two recent conjectures of…
In this paper, we show that an infinite network of input-to-state stable (ISS) subsystems, admitting ISS Lyapunov functions, itself admits an ISS Lyapunov function, provided that the couplings between the subsystems are sufficiently weak.…
