Most of the existing characterizations of the integral input-to-state stability (iISS) property are not valid for time-varying or switched systems in cases where converse Lyapunov theorems for stability are not available. This note provides…
The linear switching system is a system of ODE with the time-dependent matrix taking values from a given control matrix set. The system is (asymptotically) stable if all its trajectories tend to zero for every control function. We consider…
We study the control of networked systems with the goal of optimizing both transient and steady-state performances while providing stability guarantees. Linear proportional-integral (PI) controllers are almost always used in practice, but…

This paper deals with the stabilization of a coupled system composed by an infinite-dimensional system and an ODE. Moreover, the control, which appears in the dynamics of the ODE, is subject to a general class of nonlinearities. Such a…
Ill posed linear and nonlinear initial value problems may be stabilized, that it converted to to well posed initial value problems, by the addition of purely nonscalar linear dispersive terms. This is a stability analog of the Turing…

This paper deals with several related notions of output stability with respect to inputs. The inputs may be thought of as disturbances; when there are no inputs, one obtains generalizations of the classical concepts of partial stability.…
