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…
In this second part we prove that the full nonlinear fluid-solid system introduced in Part I is stabilizable by deformations of the solid that have to satisfy nonlinear constraints. Some of these constraints are physical and guarantee the…
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 consider a two-component system of cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in one space dimension. We show that each component of the solutions to this system behaves like a free solution in the large time, but there is a strong…
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…
This paper generalizes some known solitary solutions of a time-dependent Hamiltonian in two ways: The time-dependent field can be an elliptic function, and the time evolution is obtained for a complete set of basis vectors. The latter makes…
Dynamics of a periodically forced anharmonic oscillator (AO) with cubic nonlinearity, linear damping, and nonlinear damping, is studied. To begin with, the authors examine the dynamics of an AO. Due to this symmetric nature, the system has…

A causal input-output system may be described by a function space for inputs, a function space for outputs, and a causal operator mapping the input space into the output space. A particular representation of the state of such a system at…
In the analysis of highly-oscillatory evolution problems, it is commonly assumed that a single frequency is present and that it is either constant or, at least, bounded from below by a strictly positive constant uniformly in time. Allowing…
Synchronization of coupled continuous-time linear systems is studied in a general setting. For identical neutrally-stable linear systems that are detectable from their outputs, it is shown that a linear output feedback law exists under…
Certain lattice wave systems in translationally invariant settings have one or more spectral bands that are strictly flat or independent of momentum in the tight binding approximation, arising from either internal symmetries or fine-tuned…
In this paper, first, it is shown that if a nonlinear time-varying system is contractive, then it is incrementally exponentially stable. Second, leveraging this result, under mild restrictions, an approach is proposed to design feedforward…
In this paper, a distributed output regulation problem is formulated for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to local disturbances. The formulation is given to study a leader-following problem when the leader contains…
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 address the stability problem for linear switching systems with mode-dependent restrictions on the switching intervals. Their lengths can be bounded as from below (the guaranteed dwell-time) as from above. The upper bounds make this…
While the asymptotic stability of positive linear systems in the presence of bounded time delays has been thoroughly investigated, the theory for nonlinear positive systems is considerably less well-developed. This paper presents a set of…
In this paper, we consider linear switched systems $\dot x(t)=A_{u(t)} x(t)$, $x\in\R^n$, $u\in U$, and the problem of asymptotic stability for arbitrary switching functions, uniform with respect to switching ({\bf UAS} for short). We first…
Many complex systems satisfy a set of constraints on their degrees of freedom, and at the same time, they are able to work and adapt to different conditions. Here, we describe the emergence of this ability in a simplified model in which the…
