It is shown that impulsive systems of nonlinear, time-varying and/or switched form that allow a stable global state weak linearization are jointly input-to-state stable (ISS) under small inputs and integral ISS (iISS). The system is said to…
In this paper, we consider the problem of designing an asymptotic observer for a nonlin-ear dynamical system in discrete-time following Luenberger's original idea. This approach is a two-step design procedure. In a first step, the problem…
We present an extension of Willems' Fundamental Lemma to the class of multi-input multi-output discrete-time feedback linearizable nonlinear systems, thus providing a data-based representation of their input-output trajectories. Two sources…
This note provides a general construction, and gives a concrete example of, forced ordinary differential equation systems that have these two properties: (a) for each constant input u, all solutions converge to a steady state but (b) for…
The paper deals with the problem of existence of a convergent "strong" normal form in the neighbourhood of an equilibrium, for a finite dimensional system of differential equations with analytic and time-dependent non-linear term. The…
We provide general methods for explicitly constructing strict Lyapunov functions for fully nonlinear slowly time-varying systems. Our results apply to cases where the given dynamics and corresponding frozen dynamics are not necessarily…
This paper studies Monge parameterization, or differential flatness, of control-affine systems with four states and twocontrols. Some of them are known to be flat, and this implies admitting a Monge parameterization. Focusing on systems…
We here show that the family of finite-dimensional, discrete-time, passive, linear time-invariant systems can be characterized through the structure of maximal, matrix-convex set, closed under multiplication among its elements. Moreover,…
In this paper, we explore the normal form of fully inhomogeneous feed forward network dynamical systems, characterized by a nilpotent linear component. We introduce a new normal form method, termed the triangular $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-style, to…
In this article we classify normal forms and unfoldings of linear maps in eigenspaces of (anti)-automorphisms of order two. Our main motivation is provided by applications to linear systems of ordinary differential equations, general and…
We present a data-driven nonlinear predictive control approach for the class of discrete-time multi-input multi-output feedback linearizable nonlinear systems. The scheme uses a non-parametric predictive model based only on input and noisy…
We consider discrete-time projective semilinear control systems $\xi_{t+1} = A(u_t) \cdot \xi_t$, where the states $\xi_t$ are in projective space $\mathbb{R}P^{d-1}$, inputs $u_t$ are in a manifold $U$ of arbitrary finite dimension, and $A…
We provide two solutions to the heretofore open problem of stabilization of systems with arbitrarily long delays at the input and output of a nonlinear system using output feedback only. Both of our solutions are global, employ the…
Discrete-time models are very convenient to simulate a nonlinear system on a computer. In order to build the discrete-time simulation models for the nonlinear feedback systems (which is a very important class of systems in many…
This paper deals with linear time-varying, delay systems. Extensions of the concept of differential flatness \cite{Fliess_95} to this context have been first proposed in \cite{Mounier_95,Fliess_96} (see also \cite{Rudolph_03,Chyzak_05}), by…
Differential flatness serves as a powerful tool for controlling continuous time nonlinear systems in problems such as motion planning and trajectory tracking. A similar notion, called difference flatness, exists for discrete-time systems.…
This work provides a framework for nonlinear model-free control of systems with unknown input-output dynamics, but outputs that can be controlled by the inputs. This framework leads to real-time control of the system such that a feasible…
Currents represent generalized surfaces studied in geometric measure theory. They range from relatively tame integral currents representing oriented compact manifolds with boundary and integer multiplicities, to arbitrary elements of the…
Nonlinear contact dynamics are widely regarded as intrinsically nonlinear systems whose behaviour depends strongly on geometry and impact conditions. Here we show that any one-dimensional conservative contact system satisfying monotone…
For a general class of dynamical systems (of which the canonical continuous and uniform discrete versions are but special cases), we prove that there is a state feedback gain such that the resulting closed-loop system is uniformly…
