Deep networks are commonly used to model dynamical systems, predicting how the state of a system will evolve over time (either autonomously or in response to control inputs). Despite the predictive power of these systems, it has been…
Stability margins for linear time-varying (LTV) and switched-linear systems are traditionally computed via quadratic Lyapunov functions, and these functions certify the stability of the system under study. In this work, we show how the more…

A system is called positive if the set of non-negative states is left invariant by the dynamics. Stability analysis and controller optimization are greatly simplified for such systems. For example, linear Lyapunov functions and storage…
The analysis of dissipatively coupled oscillators is challenging and highly relevant in power grids. Standard mathematical methods are not applicable, due to the lack of network symmetry induced by dissipative couplings. Here we demonstrate…
