In 2002, Fatiha Alabau, Piermarco Cannarsa and Vilmos Komornik investigated the extent of asymptotic stability of the null solution for weakly coupled partially damped equations of the second order in time. The main point is that the…
Bessel and modified Bessel functions of imaginary order $i\nu$ ($\nu >0$) are studied. Asymptotic expansions are derived as $\nu \to \infty$ that are uniformly valid in unbounded complex domains, with error bounds provided. Coupled with…
The second and third authors of this paper have constructed in [14] finite-dimensional attractors for the one-dimensional Keller-Segel equations. They have also remarked in [14, Section 7] that, when the sensitivity function is a linear…
A new diffusion mechanism from the neighborhood of elliptic equilibria for Hamiltonian flows in three or more degrees of freedom is introduced. We thus obtain explicit real entire Hamiltonians on $\R^{2d}$, $d\geq 4$, that have a Lyapunov…
Khasminski's \cite{chas1980stochastic} showed that many of the asymptotic stability and the integrability properties of the solutions to the Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) can be obtained using Lyapunov functions techniques. These…
We introduce a novel Lyapunov function for stabilization of linear Vlasov--Fokker--Planck type equations with stiff source term. Contrary to existing results relying on transport properties to obtain stabilization, we present results based…
In the present paper, a novel result for inferring uniform global, not semi-global, exponential stability in the sense of Lyapunov with respect to input-affine systems from global uniform exponential stability properties with respect to…
We prove a converse Lyapunov theorem for almost sure stabilizability and almost sure asymptotic stabilizability of controlled diffusions: given a stochastic system a.s. stochastic open loop stabilizable at the origin, we construct a lower…
In this paper we show that the existence of a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform global asymptotic stability and the global exponential stability of time-invariant systems described by…
We provide general methods for explicitly constructing strict Lyapunov functions for fully nonlinear slowly time-varying systems. Our results apply to cases where the given dynamics and corresponding frozen dynamics are not necessarily…
Monotone systems preserve a partial ordering of states along system trajectories and are often amenable to separable Lyapunov functions that are either the sum or the maximum of a collection of functions of a scalar argument. In this paper,…
Lyapunov stability theory is the bedrock of direct adaptive control. Fundamentally, Lyapunov stability requires constructing a distance-like function which must decrease with time to ensure stability. Feedback linearization, backstepping,…
This paper presents new sufficient conditions for convergence and asymptotic or exponential stability of a stochastic discrete-time system, under which the constructed Lyapunov function always decreases in expectation along the system's…
We study convergence of nonlinear systems in the presence of an `almost Lyapunov' function which, unlike the classical Lyapunov function, is allowed to be nondecreasing---and even increasing---on a nontrivial subset of the phase space.…
A Path-Complete Lyapunov Function is an algebraic criterion composed of a finite number of functions, called its pieces, and a directed, labeled graph defining Lyapunov inequalities between these pieces. It provides a stability certificate…
This paper deals with the regularity of solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi Inequality which arises in H-infinity control. It shows by explicit counterexamples that there are gaps between existence of continuous and locally Lipschitz (positive…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 that is complete with respect to a non-archimedean absolute value. We establish a locally uniform approximation formula of the Lyapunov exponent of a rational map $f$ of…
The classical Gaussian concentration inequality for Lipschitz functions is adapted to a setting where the classical assumptions (i.e. Lipschitz and Gaussian) are not met. The theory is more direct than much of the existing theory designed…
The thesis studies linear and semilinear Dirichlet problems driven by different fractional Laplacians. The boundary data can be smooth functions or also Radon measures. The goal is to classify the solutions which have a singularity on the…
The natural trajectory tracking problem is studied for generic quantum states represented by density operators. A control design based on the Hilbert-Schmidt distance as a Lyapunov function is considered. The control dynamics is redefined…
