This note introduces a new notion of random dynamical system with inputs and outputs, and sketches a small-gain theorem for monotone systems which generalizes a similar theorem known for deterministic systems.
We provide a new global small-gain theorem for feedback interconnections of monotone input-output systems with multi-valued input-state characteristics. This extends a recent small-gain theorem of Angeli and Sontag for monotone systems with…

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…
Given two nonlinear systems which only violate incremental passivity when their incremental gains are sufficiently small, we give a condition for their negative feedback interconnection to have finite incremental gain, which generalizes the…
Closed-loop positivity of feedback interconnections of positive monotone nonlinear systems is investigated. It is shown that an instantaneous gain condition on the open-loop systems which implies feedback well-posedness also guarantees…
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…
New trajectory-based small-gain results are obtained for nonlinear feedback systems under relaxed assumptions. Specifically, during a transient period, the solutions of the feedback system may not satisfy some key inequalities that previous…
We extend the setup in our previous paper to deal with the case in which more than one steady state may exist in feedback configurations. This provides a foundation for the analysis of multi-stability and hysteresis behaviour in high…
Optomechanical systems are often used for the measurement of weak forces. Feedback loops can be used in these systems for achieving noise reduction. Here we show that even though feedback is not able to improve the signal to noise ratio of…

This paper deals with the output feedback stabilization problem of nonlinear multi-input multi-output systems having an uncertain input gain matrix. It is assumed that the system has a well-defined vector relative degree and that the zero…
We consider the monotonic tracking control problem for continuous-time single-input single-output linear systems using output-feedback linear controllers in this paper. We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for this problem to…
This paper studies the emergence of multi-stability and hysteresis in those systems that arise, under positive feedback, starting from monotone systems with well-defined steady-state responses. Such feedback configurations appear routinely…
A shifted or misaligned feedback loop gives rise to a two-point nonlocality that is the spatial analog of a temporal delay. Important consequences of this nonlocal coupling have been found both in diffusive and in diffractive systems, and…
This paper is a continuation of the paper \cite{JL}, which focuses on exploring the global stability of nonlinear stochastic feedback systems on the nonnegative orthant driven by multiplicative white noise and presenting a couple of…
The effects of noise on the dynamics of nonlinear systems is known to lead to many counter-intuitive behaviors. Using simple planar limit cycle oscillators, we show that the addition of moderate noise leads to qualitatively different…
A small-gain approach is proposed to analyze closed-loop stability of linear diffusion-reaction systems under finite-dimensional observer-based state feedback control. For this, the decomposition of the infinite-dimensional system into a…
