In this paper, we demonstrate, first in literature known to us, that potential functions can be constructed in continuous dissipative chaotic systems and can be used to reveal their dynamical properties. To attain this aim, a Lorenz-like…
For a dynamical system, it is known that the existence of a Lyapunov-type density function, called Lyapunov density or Rantzer's density function, implies convergence of Lebesgue almost all solutions to an equilibrium. Using the duality…
This paper deals with asymptotic stability of a class of dynamical systems in terms of smooth Lyapunov pairs. We point out that well known converse Lyapunov results for differential inclusions cannot be applied to this class of dynamical…
We study in this paper global properties, mainly of topological nature, of attractors of discrete dynamical systems. We consider the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation for homeomorphisms of the plane and establish some robustness properties for…
It is a paper about models for isolated sets and the construction of special hyperbolic Lyapunov functions. We prove that after a suitable surgery every isolated set is the intersection of an attractor and a repeller. We give linear models…
We propose a theoretical framework for an explanation of the numerically discovered phenomenon of the attractor-repeller merger. We identify regimes which are observed in dynamical systems with attractors as defined in a work by Ruelle and…
Reactivity, contractivity, and Lyapunov exponents are powerful tools for studying the stability properties of dynamical systems and have been extensively investigated in the literature for decades. In this paper, we review and extend the…
We explore the concept of metastability in random dynamical systems, focussing on connections between random Perron-Frobenius operator cocycles and escape rates of random maps, and on topological entropy of random shifts of finite type. The…
While stability analysis is a mainstay for control science, especially computing regions of attraction of equilibrium points, until recently most stability analysis tools always required explicit knowledge of the model or a high-fidelity…
We characterize when a compact, invariant, asymptotically stable attractor on a locally compact Hausdorff space is a strong deformation retract of its domain of attraction.
We study the concentration phenomenon for discrete-time random dynamical systems with an unbounded state space. We develop a heuristic approach towards obtaining exponential concentration inequalities for dynamical systems using an entirely…
We prove a theorem on structural stability of smooth attractor-repellor endomorphisms of compact manifolds, with singularities. By attractor-repellor, we mean that the non-wandering set of the dynamics $f$ is the disjoint union of a…
Three similar convergence notions are considered. Two of them are the long established notions of convergent dynamics and incremental stability. The other is the more recent notion of contraction analysis. All three convergence notions…
This article establishes the existence of Lyapunov functions for analyzing the stability of a class of state-constrained systems, and it describes algorithms for their numerical computation. The system model consists of a differential…
This article proposes an approach to construct a Lyapunov function for a linear coupled impulsive system consisting of two time-invariant subsystems. In contrast to various variants of small-gain stability conditions for coupled systems,…
In this paper, we report several new geometric and Lyapunov characterizations of incrementally stable systems on Finsler and Riemannian manifolds. A new and intrinsic proof of an important theorem in contraction analysis is given via the…
We consider the problem of robust diffusive stability (RDS) for a pair of coupled stable discrete-time positive linear-time invariant (LTI) systems. We first show that the existence of a common diagonal Lyapunov function is sufficient for…
We consider constructing Lyapunov functions for systems that are both monotone and contractive with respect to a weighted one norm or infinity norm. This class of systems admits separable Lyapunov functions that are either the sum or the…
We present new theorems characterizing robust Lyapunov functions and infinite horizon value functions in optimal control as unique viscosity solutions of partial differential equations. We use these results to further extend Zubov's method…
We introduce static and dynamic correlation functions for the spatial densities of Lyapunov vector fluctuations. They enable us to show, for the first time, the existence of hydrodynamic Lyapunov modes in chaotic many-particle systems with…
