Symmetry shares an entwined history with the structure of physical theory. We propose a consequence of symmetry towards the axiomatic derivation of Hilbert space quantum theory. We introduce the notion of information symmetry (IS) and show…
We prove that impulsive systems, which possess an ISS Lyapunov function, are ISS for time sequences satisfying the fixed dwell-time condition. If an ISS Lyapunov function is the exponential one, we provide a stronger result, which…

Small-gain conditions used in analysis of feedback interconnections are contraction conditions which imply certain stability properties. Such conditions are applied to a finite or infinite interval. In this paper we consider the case, when…
We develop a Lyapunov-based small-gain theorem for establishing fixed-time input-to-state stability (FxT-ISS) guarantees in interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems. The proposed framework considers interconnections in which each…

We introduce a monotonicity-based method for studying input-to-state stability (ISS) of nonlinear parabolic equations with boundary inputs. We first show that a monotone control system is ISS if and only if it is ISS w.r.t. constant inputs.…

Robustness as a system property describes the degree to which a system is able to function correctly in the presence of disturbances, i.e., unforeseen or erroneous inputs. In this paper, we introduce a notion of robustness termed…
On the basis of the entropy of incomplete statistics (IS) and the joint probability factorization condition, two controversial problems existing in IS are investigated, where one is what the correct expression of the internal energy for a…

In this paper we consider BIBO stability of systems described by infinite-dimensional linear state-space representations, filling the so far unattended gap of a formal definition and characterization of BIBO stability in this general case.…
For 1-D parabolic PDEs with disturbances at both boundaries and distributed disturbances we provide ISS estimates in various norms. Due to the lack of an ISS Lyapunov functional for boundary disturbances, the proof methodology uses (i) an…
Employing model predictive control to systems with unbounded, stochastic disturbances poses the challenge of guaranteeing safety, i.e., repeated feasibility and stability of the closed-loop system. Especially, there are no strict repeated…
It is due to the modularity of the analysis that results for cascaded systems have proved their utility in numerous control applications as well as in the development of general control techniques based on ``adding integrators''.…
