This paper derives a differential contraction condition for the existence of an orbitally-stable limit cycle in an autonomous system. This transverse contraction condition can be represented as a pointwise linear matrix inequality (LMI),…
Asymptotic equilibrium stresses are defined for countably infinite tensegrities and generalisations of the Roth-Whiteley characterisation of first-order rigidity are obtained. Generalisations of prestress stability and second order rigidity…
By definition, transverse intersections are stable under infinitesimal perturbations. Using persistent homology, we extend this notion to a measure. Given a space of perturbations, we assign to each homology class of the intersection its…
In this paper, we derive differential conditions guaranteeing the orbital stability of nonlinear hybrid limit cycles. These conditions are represented as a series of pointwise linear matrix inequalities (LMI), enabling the search for…
We further develop the notion of perinormality from our last paper, showing that it is preserved by many pullback constructions. In doing so, we introduce the concepts of relative perinormality and fragility for ring extensions.
Linear systems governed by continuous-time difference equations cover a wide class of linear systems. From the Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach, we investigate stability for such a class of systems. Sufficient conditions, and in some particular…
Recently, it has been proven that a tensegrity framework that arises from coning the one-skeleton of a convex polytope is rigid. Since such frameworks are not always infinitesimally rigid, this leaves open the question as to whether they…
This paper explores transverse coordinates for the purpose of orbitally stabilizing periodic motions of nonlinear, control-affine dynamical systems. It is shown that the dynamics of any (minimal or excessive) set of transverse coordinates,…
Stability is a fundamental concept that refers to a system's ability to return close to its original state after disturbances. The minimal conditions for stability when system parameters vary in time, though common in physics, have been…
We apply the convection stability criterion to a fluid in global thermodynamic equilibrium with a rigid rotation or with a constant acceleration along the streamlines. Different equations of state describing strongly interacting matter are…
Transverse linearization-based approaches have become among the most prominent methods for orbitally stabilizing feedback design in regards to (periodic) motions of underactuated mechanical systems. Yet, in an $n$-dimensional state-space,…
The aggressive integration of distributed renewable sources is changing the dynamics of the electric power grid in an unexpected manner. As a result, maintaining conventional performance specifications, such as transient stability, may not…
In this paper we introduce the concept of universal stabilizability: the condition that every solution of a nonlinear system can be globally stabilized. We give sufficient conditions in terms of the existence of a control contraction…
An elastic rod, straight in its undeformed state, has a mass attached at one end and a variable length, due to a constraint at the other end by a frictionless sliding sleeve. The constraint is arranged with the sliding direction parallel to…
We give for the first time a detailed proof of the Palamodov's total instability conjecture in Lagrangian dynamics. This proves an older related Lyapunov instability conjecture posed by Lyapunov and Arnold and reduces the Lagrange-Dirichlet…
Converse optimality theory addresses an optimal control problem conversely where the system is unknown and the value function is chosen. Previous work treated this problem both in continuous and discrete time and non-extensively considered…
We introduce the notion of relative stability conditions on triangulated categories with respect to left admissible subcategories, based on arXiv:math/0212237, and demonstrate the deformation of relative stability conditions via the…
Distance functions of metric spaces with lower curvature bound, by definition, enjoy various metric inequalities; triangle comparison, quadruple comparison and the inequality of Lang-Schroeder-Sturm. The purpose of this paper is to study…
We prove that universal second-order rigidity implies universal prestress stability and that triangulated convex polytopes in three-space (with holes appropriately positioned) are prestress stable.
The dynamics of a rigid, rotating, precessing, massive ring orbiting a point mass within the perimeter of the ring are considered. It is demonstrated that orbits dynamically stable against perturbations in three dimensions exist for a range…
