Energy (or Lyapunov) functions are used to prove stability of equilibria, or to indicate a gradient-like structure of a dynamical system. Matano constructed a Lyapunov function for quasilinear non-degenerate parabolic equations. We modify…
This paper studies the uniformly asymptotic stability of nonautonomous systems on Riemannian manifolds. We establish corresponding Lyapunov-type theorems (Theorems 2.1 and 2.2), extending classical Euclidean results (e.g., [9, Theorems 4.9…
In this paper, we consider linear switched systems $\dot x(t)=A_{u(t)} x(t)$, $x\in\R^n$, $u\in U$, and the problem of asymptotic stability for arbitrary switching functions, uniform with respect to switching ({\bf UAS} for short). We first…
In this paper, we consider the data-driven discovery of stable dynamical models with a single equilibrium. The proposed approach uses a basis-function parameterization of the differential equations and the associated Lyapunov function. This…
In this paper, We study the stability of solutions of fuzzy differential equations by Lyapunov's second method. By using scale equations and comparison principle for Lyapunov - like functions, we give some sufficient criterias for the…
We introduce a new class of quadratic functions based on a hierarchy of linear time-varying (LTV) dynamical systems. These quadratic functions in the higher order space can be also seen as a non-homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions for…
In this note, we propose coordinate-invariant notions of incremental Lyapunov function and provide characterizations of incremental stability in terms of existence of the proposed Lyapunov functions.
We investigate the formal synthesis of global polynomial Lyapunov functions for polynomial vector fields. We establish that a sign-definite polynomial must satisfy specific algebraic constraints, which we leverage to develop a set of…
In this short note we describe a simple but remarkably effective method for rigorously estimating Lyapunov exponents for expanding maps of the interval. We illustrate the applicability of this method with some standard examples.
Lyapunov-like characterizations for non-uniform in time and uniform robust global asymptotic stability of uncertain systems described by retarded functional differential equations are provided.
This article tackles the problem of the classification of expansive homeomorphisms of the plane. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a homeomorphism to be conjugate to a linear hyperbolic automorphism will be presented. The techniques…
Stability margins for linear time-varying (LTV) and switched-linear systems are traditionally computed via quadratic Lyapunov functions, and these functions certify the stability of the system under study. In this work, we show how the more…
Analysis of transient stability of strongly nonlinear post-fault dynamics is one of the most computationally challenging parts of Dynamic Security Assessment. This paper proposes a novel approach for assessment of transient stability of the…
This paper presents a counterexample-guided iterative algorithm to compute convex, piecewise linear (polyhedral) Lyapunov functions for uncertain continuous-time linear hybrid systems. Polyhedral Lyapunov functions provide an alternative to…
Hyperbolic systems in one dimensional space are frequently used in modeling of many physical systems. In our recent works, we introduced time independent feedbacks leading to the finite stabilization for the optimal time of homogeneous…
This paper considers the problem of characterizing the stability region of a large-scale networked system comprised of dissipative nonlinear subsystems, in a distributed and computationally tractable way. One standard approach to estimate…
This paper focuses on the fractional difference of Lyapunov functions related to Riemann-Liouville, Caputo and Grunwald-Letnikov definitions. A new way of building Lyapunov functions is introduced and then five inequalities are derived for…
This paper presents some new propositions related to the fractional order $h$-difference operators, for the case of general quadratic forms and for the polynomial type, which allow proving the stability of fractional order $h$-difference…
The paper is concerned with the development of Lyapunov methods for the analysis of equilibrium stability in a dynamical system on the space of probability measures driven by a non-local continuity equation. We derive sufficient conditions…
Lyapunov functions play a vital role in the context of control theory for nonlinear dynamical systems. Besides its classical use for stability analysis, Lyapunov functions also arise in iterative schemes for computing optimal feedback laws…
