We consider a general class of nonlinear, constrained, discrete-time systems whose dynamics are parametrized by a set of gains. We define the semiglobal, practical, asymptotic stability (SPAS) of compact sets for this class of systems, and…
For general time-varying or switched (nonlinear) systems, converse Lyapunov theorems for stability are not available. In these cases, the integral input-to-state stability (iISS) property is not equivalent to the existence of an…

Suitable continuity and boundedness assumptions on the function f defining the dynamics of a time-varying nonimpulsive system with inputs are known to make the system inherit stability properties from the zero-input system. Whether this…

We consider a class of wave equations with constant damping and polynomial nonlinearities that are perturbed by small, multiplicative, space-time white noise. The equations are defined on a one-dimensional bounded interval with Dirichlet…
Adapting a counterexample recently proposed by J.L. Mancilla-Aguilar and H. Haimovich, we show here that, for time-delay systems, global asymptotic stability does not ensure that solutions converge uniformly to zero over bounded sets of…
The region of attraction is a key metric of the robustness of systems. This paper addresses the numerical solution of the generalized Zubov's equation, which produces a special Lyapunov function characterizing the robust region of…
This paper presents an analysis approach to finite-time attraction in probability concerns with nonlinear systems described by nonlinear random differential equations (RDE). RDE provide meticulous physical interpreted models for some…
For stochastic systems with nonvanishing noise, i.e., at the desired state the noise port does not vanish, it is impossible to achieve the global stability of the desired state in the sense of probability. This bad property also leads to…
The method of Lyapunov functions is one of the most effective ones for the investigation of stability of dynamical systems, in particular, of stochastic differential systems. The main purpose of the paper is the analysis of the stability of…
