The use of Lyapunov conditions for proving functional inequalities was initiated in [5]. It was shown in [4, 30] that there is an equivalence between a Poincar{\'e} inequality, the existence of some Lyapunov function and the exponential…
This paper is concerned with relationships of Lyapunov exponents with sensitivity and stability for non-autonomous discrete systems. Some new concepts are introduced for non-autonomous discrete systems, including Lyapunov exponents, strong…

In this paper, we present new results on finite- and fixed-time convergence for dynamical systems using LaSalle-like invariance principles. In particular, we provide first and second-order non-smooth Lyapunov-like results for finite- and…
We propose a stability analysis method for sampled-data switched linear systems with finite-level static quantizers. In the closed-loop system, information on the active mode of the plant is transmitted to the controller only at each…
This work is devoted to almost sure and moment exponential stability of regime-switching jump diffusions. The Lyapunov function method is used to derive sufficient conditions for stabilities for general nonlinear systems; which further…
We explicitly construct global strict Lyapunov functions for rapidly time-varying nonlinear control systems. The Lyapunov functions we construct are expressed in terms of oftentimes more readily available Lyapunov functions for the limiting…
We obtain large and moderate deviation estimates, as well as concentration inequalities, for a class of nonuniformly expanding maps with stretched exponential decay of correlations. In the large deviation regime, we also exhibit examples…
Stochastic uncertainties in complex dynamical systems lead to variability of system states, which can in turn degrade the closed-loop performance. This paper presents a stochastic model predictive control approach for a class of nonlinear…
This thesis addresses the question of stability of systems defined by differential equations which contain nonlinearity and delay. In particular, we analyze the stability of a well-known delayed nonlinear implementation of a certain…
Distribution functions of many static transport equations are found using the Maximum Entropy Principle. The equations of constraint which contain the relevant dynamical information are simply the low-lying moments of the distributions.…
In this paper, we study the stability problem of a stochastic, nonlinear, discrete-time system. We introduce a linear transfer operator-based Lyapunov measure as a new tool for stability verification of stochastic systems. Weaker…
Using the renewal approach we prove exponential inequalities for additive functionals and empirical processes of ergodic Markov chains, thus obtaining counterparts of inequalities for sums of independent random variables. The inequalities…
Generic dynamical systems have `typical' Lyapunov exponents, measuring the sensitivity to small perturbations of almost all trajectories. A generic system has also trajectories with exceptional values of the exponents, corresponding to…
This paper deals with asymptotic stability of a class of dynamical systems in terms of smooth Lyapunov pairs. We point out that well known converse Lyapunov results for differential inclusions cannot be applied to this class of dynamical…
