Input-to-state stability (ISS) of switched systems is studied where the individual subsystems are connected in a serial cascade configuration, and the states are allowed to reset at switching times. An ISS Lyapunov function is associated to…
We investigate input-to-state stability (ISS) of infinite-dimensional collocated control systems subject to saturated feedback. Here, the unsaturated closed loop is dissipative and uniformly globally asymptotically stable. Under an…

This article is concerned with stability analysis and stabilization of randomly switched nonlinear systems. These systems may be regarded as piecewise deterministic stochastic systems: the discrete switches are triggered by a stochastic…
Collocated adaptive control of underactuated systems is still a main concern for the control community, all the more so because the collocated dynamics is no longer linear with respect to the constant base parameters. This work extends and…
We show that any globally asymptotically controllable system on any smooth manifold can be globally stabilized by a state feedback. Since we allow discontinuous feedbacks, we interpret the solutions of our systems in the ``sample and hold''…
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the solutions of nonlinear dynamic systems nearby an equilibrium point, when the nominal parts are subject to non necessarily small perturbations. We show that, under some estimates…
In this paper, we show that an infinite network of input-to-state stable (ISS) subsystems, admitting ISS Lyapunov functions, itself admits an ISS Lyapunov function, provided that the couplings between the subsystems are sufficiently weak.…

In a pedagogical but exhaustive manner, this survey reviews the main results on input-to-state stability (ISS) for infinite-dimensional systems. This property allows estimating the impact of inputs and initial conditions on both the…

A nonlinear control system is said to be weakly contractive in the control if the flow that it generates is non-expanding (in the sense that the distance between two trajectories is a non-increasing function of time) for some fixed…
We analyse the solutions of networked heterogeneous nonlinear systems. We assume that the closed-loop interconnected systems form a network with an underlying connected directed graph that contains a directed spanning tree. For these…
