Oscillatory behavior is a key property of many biological systems. The Small-Gain Theorem (SGT) for input/output monotone systems provides a sufficient condition for global asymptotic stability of an equilibrium and hence its violation is a…

The stability analysis of synchronization in time-varying higher-order networked structures (simplicial complexes) is one of the challenging problem due to the presence of time-varying group interactions. In this context, most of the…
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…

In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient conditions under which a linear time-invariant (LTI) system is state feedback equivalent to a negative imaginary (NI) system. More precisely, we show that a minimal LTI strictly proper…
In nature, instances of synchronisation abound across a diverse range of environments. In the quantum regime, however, synchronisation is typically observed by identifying an appropriate parameter regime in a specific system. In this work…
Necessary conditions for asymptotic stability and stabilizability of subsets for dynamical and control systems are obtained. The main necessary condition is homotopical and is in turn used to obtain a homological one. A certain extension is…
A Small-Gain Theorem, which can be applied to a wide class of systems that includes systems satisfying the weak semigroup property, is presented in the present work. The result generalizes all existing results in the literature and exploits…
In this paper, we define the phase response for a class of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) linear time-invariant (LTI) systems whose frequency responses are (semi-)sectorial at all frequencies. The newly defined phase concept subsumes the…

This paper studies the graph-theoretic conditions for stability of positive monotone systems. Using concepts from input-to-state stability and network small-gain theory, we first establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the…
Sufficient conditions are established for sampled-data feedback global asymptotic stabilization for nonlinear autonomous systems. One of our main results is an extension of the well known Artstein-Sontag theorem on feedback stabilization…
A decentralized stability criterion is derived for a power system with heterogeneous subsystems. A condition for frequency stability and stability of interarea modes is derived using the generalized Nyquist criterion. The resulting scalable…
An approach is presented for coupled chaotic systems, estimating an inferior bound value for the absolute phase difference, in order to say that phase synchronization is present. This approach shows that synchronicity in phase implies…
Spontaneous symmetry-breaking in phase transitions occurs when the system Hamiltonian is symmetric under a certain transformation, but the equilibrium states observed in nature are not. Here, we prove that when a discrete symmetry is…
Synchronization control in arrays of identical output-coupled continuous-time linear systems is studied. Sufficiency of new conditions for the existence of a synchronizing feedback law are analyzed. It is shown that for neutrally stable…
