As a hybrid of techniques from open-loop and feedback control, Lyapunov control has the advantage that it is free from the measurement-induced decoherence but it includes the system's instantaneous message in the control loop. Often, the…
Lyapunov functions are popularly used to investigate the stabilization problem of systems of hyperbolic conservation laws with boundary controls. In real life applications often not every boundary value can be observed. In this work, we…

We consider the time-dependent nonlinear system $\dot q(t)=u(t)X(q(t))+(1-u(t))Y(q(t))$, where $q\in\R^2$, $X$ and $Y$ are two %$C^\infty$ smooth vector fields, globally asymptotically stable at the origin and $u:[0,\infty)\to\{0,1\}$ is an…
Suppose that the origin is globally asymptotically stable under a set of continuous vector fields on Euclidean space and suppose that all those vector fields come equipped with -- possibly different -- convex Lyapunov functions. We show…
The control of chaotic systems implies inducing an unpredictable system to follow a desired trajectory using the smallest "force". In low-dimensional continuous systems, one method is that of reconstructing the tangent space, so that the…
