We study the stability of general weakly coupled systems subject to a reduced number of local or boundary controls. We show that, under Kalman's rank condition, the exponential stability of the underlying scalar equation implies polynomial…
We give sufficient conditions such that the exponential stability of the linearization of a non-linear system implies that the non-linear system is (locally) exponentially stable. One of these conditions is that the non-linear system is…
We propose matrix commutator based stability characterization for discrete-time switched linear systems under restricted switching. Given an admissible minimum dwell time, we identify sufficient conditions on subsystems such that a switched…
In this paper we first study the fixed-time stabilizability of discrete-time switched linear control systems. Using a geometric approach, we derive conditions under which such systems can be stabilized within a prescribed number of steps,…
The study proposes new results on the set input-to-state stability (ISS) subject to a small input time delay for compact, invariant sets that contains the origin. First, using the nonlinear small-gain theory, we prove a Razumikhin-type…
A system made up of N interacting species is considered. Self-reaction terms are assumed of the logistic type. Pairwise interactions take place among species according to different modalities, thus yielding a complex asymmetric disordered…
We prove a novel Lyapunov-based small-gain theorem for networks of $ n \geq 2 $ hybrid systems which are not necessarily input-to-state stable. This result unifies and extends several small-gain theorems for hybrid and impulsive systems…
Motivated by the ubiquitous sampled-data setup in applied control, we examine the stability of a class of difference equations that arises by sampling a right- or left-invariant flow on a matrix Lie group. The map defining such a difference…
It is well-known that wave-type equations with memory, under appropriate assumptions on the memory kernel, are uniformly exponentially stable. On the other hand, time delay effects may destroy this behavior. Here, we consider the…
The robust stability problem involves designing a controlled system which remains stable in the presence of modeling uncertainty. In this context, results known as small gain theorems are used to quantify the maximum amount of uncertainty…
This paper explores the exponential stability of two nonlinear wave equations coupled through their velocities. The analysis is divided into two main cases. First, we consider a system where one equation is damped, while the other…
For transitive shifts of finite type, and more generally for shifts with specification, it is well-known that every equilibrium state for a Holder continuous potential has positive entropy as long as the shift has positive topological…
We develop tools for investigation of input-to-state stability (ISS) of infinite-dimensional control systems. We show that for certain classes of admissible inputs the existence of an ISS-Lyapunov function implies the input-to-state…
This paper examines small-signal stability of electrical networks composed dominantly of three-phase grid-following inverters. We show that the mere existence of a high-voltage power flow solution does not necessarily imply small-signal…
Interactions of gauge-invariant systems are severely constrained by several consistency requirements. One is the preservation of the number of gauge symmetries, another is causal propagation. For lower-spin fields, the emphasis is usually…

We consider eventually positive operator semigroups and study the question whether their eventual positivity is preserved by bounded perturbations of the generator or not. We demonstrate that eventual positivity is not stable with respect…
