The suggestion of writing, for some problems, nonlinear state equations not as dx/dt = F(x,u,t), but as dx/dt = [A(t,x)]x + [B(t,x)]u(t), which is more "constructive", is considered supported by arguments related to: the axiomatization of…

Although stable solutions of dynamical systems are typically considered more important than unstable ones, unstable solutions have a critical role in the dynamical integrity of stable solutions. In fact, usually, basins of attraction…
Although the limit cycle have been studied for more than 100 years, the existence of its Lyapunov function is still poorly understood. By considering a common limit cycle system, a puzzle related to the existence of Lyapunov functions for…

Additive noise is known to produce counter-intuitive behaviors in nonlinear dynamical systems. Previously, it was shown that systems with a deterministic limit cycle can display bistable switching between metastable states in the presence…
