We study the phenomenon of nonlinear stochastic resonance (SR) in a complex noisy system formed by a finite number of interacting subunits driven by rectangular pulsed time periodic forces. We find that very large SR gains are obtained for…
A control system is called self-powered if the only energy it requires for operation is that which it absorbs from the plant. For a linear feedback law to be feasible for a self-powered control system, its feedback signal must be colocated…
This paper is concerned with incremental stability properties of nonlinear systems. We propose conditions to compute an upper bound on the incremental L2-gain and to assess incremental asymptotic stability of piecewise-affine (PWA) systems.…
In this paper, we investigate the properties of an improved swing equation model for synchronous generators. This model is derived by omitting the main simplifying assumption of the conventional swing equation, and requires a novel analysis…
This note studies the robust output feedback stabilization problem of multi-input multi-output invertible nonlinear systems with output-dependent multipliers. An "ideal" state feedback is first designed under certain mild assumptions. Then,…
One of the key contributions of the 1972 seminal paper by Willems was the analysis of symmetry (also called reciprocity) of input-state-output systems, both from an external (input-output) and internal (state) point of view. The developed…
This paper studies a small-gain theorem for nonlinear stochastic equations driven by additive white noise in both trajectories and stationary distribution. Motivated by the most recent work of Marcondes de Freitas and Sontag \cite{FS3}, we…
This paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions under which a linear system of relative degree either one or two is state feedback equivalent to a negative imaginary (NI) system. More precisely, we show for a class of linear…
Positive linear systems on arbitrary time scales are studied. The theory developed in the paper unifies and extends concepts and results known for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for a linear…
We consider a generic nonlinear extension of May's 1972 model by including all higher-order terms in the expansion around the chosen fixed point (placed at the origin) with random Gaussian coefficients. The ensuing analysis reveals that as…
We give sufficient Gordin-type criteria for the iterated (enhanced) weak invariance principle to hold for deterministic dynamical systems. Such an invariance principle is intrinsically related to the interpretation of stochastic integrals.…

It is shown that a graph parameter can be realized as the number of homomorphisms into a fixed (weighted) graph if and only if it satisfies two linear algebraic conditions: reflection positivity and exponential rank-connectivity. In terms…
This paper introduce the notion of output contraction that expands the contraction notion to the time-varying nonlinear systems with output. It pertains to the systems' property that any pair of outputs from the system converge to each…
