Stability is a very important property of any physical system. By a stable system, we broadly mean that small disturbances either in the system inputs or in the initial conditions do not lead to large changes in the overall behavior of the…
We consider infinite heterogeneous networks, consisting of input-to-state stable subsystems of possibly infinite dimension. We show that the network is input-to-state stable, provided that the gain operator satisfies a certain small-gain…

Linear systems of neutral type are considered using the infinite dimensional approach. The main problems are asymptotic, non-exponential stability, exact controllability and regular asymptotic stabilizability. The main tools are the moment…
Discrete-time models of non-uniformly sampled nonlinear systems under zero-order hold relate the next state sample to the current state sample, (constant) input value, and sampling interval. The exact discrete-time model, that is, the…
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control has been the workhorse of control technology for about a century. Yet to this day, designing and tuning PID controllers relies mostly on either tabulated rules (Ziegler-Nichols) or on classical…
