We consider two methods to establish log-Sobolev inequalities for the invariant measure of a diffusion process when its density is not explicit and the curvature is not positive everywhere. In the first approach, based on the Holley-Stroock…
We consider families of systems of two-dimensional ordinary differential equations with the origin $0$ as a non-hyperbolic equilibrium. For any number $s \in (-\infty, +\infty)$ we show that it is possible to choose a parameter in these…
We consider the problem of embedding a dynamic network, to obtain time-evolving vector representations of each node, which can then be used to describe changes in behaviour of individual nodes, communities, or the entire graph. Given this…
This work considers a nonlinear inverse source problem in a coupled diffusion equation from the terminal observation. Theoretically, under some conditions on problem data, we build the uniqueness theorem for this inverse problem and show…
We prove that under the Gaussian measure, half-spaces are uniquely the most noise stable sets. We also prove a quantitative version of uniqueness, showing that a set which is almost optimally noise stable must be close to a half-space. This…
We study necessary and sufficient conditions for contraction and incremental stability of dynamical systems with respect to non-Euclidean norms. First, we introduce weak pairings as a framework to study contractivity with respect to…
When the state of a system may remain bounded even if both the input amplitude and energy are unbounded, then the state bounds given by the standard input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral-ISS (iISS) properties may provide no useful…
This paper presents versions of integral input-to-state stability and integral input-to-integral-state stability for nonlinear sampled-data systems, under the low measurement rate constraint. In particular, we compensate the lack of…

This work explores Lyapunov characterizations of the input-output-to-state stability (IOSS) property for nonlinear systems. The notion of IOSS is a natural generalization of the standard zero-detectability property used in the linear case.…
Motivated by questions in biology, we investigate the stability of equilibria of the dynamical system $\mathbf{x}^{\prime}=P(t)\nabla f(x)$ which arise as critical points of $f$, under the assumption that $P(t)$ is positive semi-definite.…
As bulk synchronous generators in the power grid are replaced by distributed generation interfaced through power electronics, inertia is removed from the system, prompting concerns over grid stability. Different metrics are available for…
This paper revisits the classical question of the stability of the nonlinear Wonham filter. The novel contributions of this paper are two-fold: (i) definition of the stabilizability for the (control-theoretic) dual to the nonlinear filter;…
Multistable processes are tangent at each point to a stable process, but where the index of stability and the index of localisability varies along the path. In this work, we give two estimators of the stability and the localisability…
In this paper, the incremental stability of interconnected switched nonlinear systems is discussed. The nature of switching considered is state-dependent. The incremental stability of the switched interconnected system is a stronger…
A major transition in modern power systems is the replacement of conventional generation units with renewable sources of energy. The latter results in lower rotational inertia which compromises the stability of the power system, as…

Digital controller design for nonlinear systems may be complicated by the fact that an exact discrete-time plant model is not known. One existing approach employs approximate discrete-time models for stability analysis and control design,…
