We study whether second-order systems can be made to behave like prescribed first-order dynamical systems through feedback control. More precisely, we study whether prescribed vector fields on compact smooth manifolds, viewed geometrically…

This paper is devoted to the stabilization of a linear control system $y' = A y + B u$ and its suitable non-linear variants where $(A, \cD(A))$ is an infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous {\it group} in a Hilbert space $\mH$, and…
Predictor-based stabilization results are provided for nonlinear systems with input delays and a compact absorbing set. The control scheme consists of an inter-sample predictor, a global observer, an approximate predictor, and a nominal…
We apply Prediction-Based control (PBC) in order to stabilize globally a positive equilibrium of a planar Ricker's equation. We construct a closed invariant set in a strictly positive domain for the controlled map and derive conditions on…
In this paper, we are concerned with the stabilization of linear port-Hamiltonian systems of arbitrary order $N \in \mathbb{N}$ on a bounded $1$-dimensional spatial domain $(a,b)$. In order to achieve stabilization, we couple the system to…
The paper is concerned with patchy vector fields, a class of discontinuous, piecewise smooth vector fields that were introduced in AB to study feedback stabilization problems. We prove the stability of the corresponding solution set w.r.t.…
Let $\Phi:\mathcal{H}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R\cup}\left\{ +\infty\right\} $ be a closed convex proper function on a real Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, and $\partial\Phi:\mathcal{H}\rightrightarrows\mathcal{H}$ its subdifferential. For any…
This paper deals with the stabilization of a class of linear infinite-dimensional systems with unbounded control operators and subject to a boundary disturbance. We assume that there exists a linear feedback law that makes the origin of the…
Dynamical systems that are invariant under the action of a non-trivial symmetry group can possess structurally stable heteroclinic cycles. In this paper we study stability properties of a class of structurally stable heteroclinic cycles in…
Given a locally maximal compact invariant hyperbolic set $\Lambda$ for a $C^1$ flow or diffeomorphism on a Riemann manifold with $C^1$ unstable laminations, we construct an invariant continuous bundle of tangent vectors to local unstable…
This paper addresses the problem of stabilizing a part of variables for control systems described by stochastic differential equations of the Ito type. The considered problem is related to the asymptotic stability property of invariant sets…
It is well-known that the fundamental diagram in a realistic traffic system is featured by capacity drop. From a mesoscopic approach, we demonstrate that such a phenomenon is linked to the unique properties of stochastic noise, which, when…
It has long been known that complex balanced mass-action systems exhibit a restrictive form of behaviour known as locally stable dynamics. This means that within each compatibility class $\mathcal{C}_{\mathbf{x}_0}$---the forward invariant…
In the present work, we consider nonlinear control systems for which there exist structural obstacles to the design of classical continuous backstepping feedback laws. We conceive feedback laws such that the origin of the closed-loop system…
For systems that are not observable at the very equilibrium of interest to be stabilized, output-feedback stabilization is considerably challenging. In this paper we solve this control problem for the case-study of a second-order system…
Several authors investigating the asymptotic behaviour of the Betti diagrams of the graded system obtained by taking powers of an ideal have shown that the shape of the nonzero entries in the diagrams stabilizes when $I$ is a homogeneous…

This paper is motivated by the problem of asymptotically stabilizing invariant sets in the state space of control systems by means of output feedback. The sets considered are smooth embedded in submanifolds and the class of system is…
We consider a dissipative vector field which is represented by a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian flow to which a non symplectic force is added, so that the phase space volume is not preserved. The vector field depends upon two parameters,…
