Nonlinear systems are capable of displaying complex behavior even if this is the result of a small number of interacting time scales. A widely studied case is when complex dynamics emerges out of a nonlinear system being forced by a simple…

Feedback optimization algorithms compute inputs to a system using real-time output measurements, which helps mitigate the effects of disturbances. However, existing work often models both system dynamics and computations in either discrete…

Frequency-domain nonlinear wave mixing processes may be described either using response functions whereby the signal is generated after all interactions with the incoming fields, or in terms of scattering amplitudes where all fields are…

We obtain some new properties of the signal generated by the Riemann zeta-function in this paper. Namely, we show the connection between the function $\zf$ and a nonlinear integral equation related to the Poisson-Lobachevsky integral.
The problem under consideration is the synthesis of a distributed controller for a nonlinear network composed of input affine systems. The objective is to achieve exponential convergence of the solutions. To design such a feedback law,…
We use the recently introduced concept of a Scaled Relative Graph (SRG) to develop a graphical analysis of input-output properties of feedback systems. The SRG of a nonlinear operator generalizes the Nyquist diagram of an LTI system. In the…
