The nervous system reorganizes memories from an early site to a late site, a commonly observed feature of learning and memory systems known as systems consolidation. Previous work has suggested learning rules by which consolidation may…
It has been recently realized that for abundant dynamical systems on a compact manifold, the set of points for which Lyapunov exponents fail to exist, called the Lyapunov irregular set, has positive Lebesgue measure. In the present paper,…
In this paper we study connections between structured storage or Lyapunov functions of a class of interconnected systems (dynamical networks) and dissipativity properties of the individual systems. We prove that if a dynamical network,…

Polyhedral Lyapunov functions can approximate any norm arbitrarily well. Because of this, they are used to study the stability of linear time varying and linear parameter varying systems without being conservative. However, the…
This article establishes the existence of Lyapunov functions for analyzing the stability of a class of state-constrained systems, and it describes algorithms for their numerical computation. The system model consists of a differential…
We provide a Lyapunov-function-based method for establishing different types of uniform input-to-state stability (ISS) for time-varying impulsive systems. The method generalizes to impulsive systems with inputs the well-established…
We study convergence of nonlinear systems in the presence of an `almost Lyapunov' function which, unlike the classical Lyapunov function, is allowed to be nondecreasing---and even increasing---on a nontrivial subset of the phase space.…
Hyperbolic systems in one dimensional space are frequently used in modeling of many physical systems. In our recent works, we introduced time independent feedbacks leading to the finite stabilization for the optimal time of homogeneous…
In this paper, we show that under a generic condition of the coefficient of a stochastic phase oscillator the Lyapunov exponent of the linearization along an arbitrary solution is always negative. Consequently, the generated random…
The main aim of this comment is to emphasize that the conditional Lyapunov exponents play an important role in distinguishing between intermittent and persistent synchronization, when the analytic criteria for asymptotic stability are not…
In 1665, Christiaan Huygens reported the observation of the synchronization of two pendulum clocks hanged on the wall of his workshop. After synchronization, the clocks swung exactly in the same frequency and $180^{o}$ out of phase --…

In 1892, Lyapunov provided a fundamental contribution to stability theory by introducing so-called Lyapunov functions and Lyapunov equilibria. He subsequently showed that, for linear systems, the two concepts are equivalent. These concepts…
We use Lyapunov type functions to give new conditions under which a homeomorphism of a compact metric space has the shadowing property. These conditions are applied to establish the topological stability of some homeomorphisms with…
