Stability analysis tools are essential to understanding and controlling any engineering system. Recently sum-of-squares (SOS) based methods have been used to compute Lyapunov based estimates for the region-of-attraction (ROA) of polynomial…
Sum-of-squares (SOS) methods have been shown to be very useful in computing polynomial Lyapunov functions for systems of reasonably small size. However for large scale systems it is necessary to use a scalable alternative using vector…
Lyapunov functions provide a tool to analyze the stability of nonlinear systems without extensively solving the dynamics. Recent advances in sum-of-squares methods have enabled the algorithmic computation of Lyapunov functions for…
The dynamics of many systems from physics, economics, chemistry, and biology can be modelled through polynomial functions. In this paper, we provide a computational means to find positively invariant sets of polynomial dynamical systems by…
We present a method for synthesizing dynamic, reduced-order output-feedback polynomial control policies for control-affine nonlinear systems which guarantees runtime stability to a goal state, when using visual observations and a learned…
This paper introduces a new method for proving global stability of fluid flows through the construction of Lyapunov functionals. For finite dimensional approximations of fluid systems, we show how one can exploit recently developed…
Sum of Squares programming has been used extensively over the past decade for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems but several questions remain unanswered. In this paper, we show that exponential stability of a polynomial vector…
In this paper, we present a novel approach to determine the stability of switched linear and nonlinear systems using Sum of Squares optimisation. Particularly, we use Sum of Squares optimisation to search for a Lyapunov function that…
This paper develops methods for proving Lyapunov stability of dynamical systems subject to disturbances with an unknown distribution. We assume only a finite set of disturbance samples is available and that the true online disturbance…
Reliable quasi-static object manuipulation and robotic locomotion require verification of the stability of equilibria under rigid contacts and friction. In a recent paper, M. Posa, M. Tobenkin, and R. Tedrake demonstrated that…
This work estimates safe invariant subsets of the Region of Attraction (ROA) for a seven-state vehicle-with-driver system, capturing both asymptotic stability and the influence of state-safety bounds along the system trajectory. Safe sets…
This work presents a sum-of-squares (SOS) based framework to perform data-driven stabilization and robust control tasks on discrete-time linear systems where the full-state observations are corrupted by L-infinity bounded input,…
For the class of nonlinear input-affine systems with polynomial dynamics, we consider the problem of designing an input-to-state stabilizing controller with respect to typical exogenous signals in a feedback control system, such as actuator…
We consider a class of nonlinear control synthesis problems where the underlying mathematical models are not explicitly known. We propose a data-driven approach to stabilize the systems when only sample trajectories of the dynamics are…
We consider the problem of ensuring the safety of nonlinear control systems under adversarial signals. Using Lyapunov based reachability analysis, we first give sufficient conditions to assess safety, i.e., to guarantee that the states of…
Contraction analysis is a stability theory for nonlinear systems where stability is defined incrementally between two arbitrary trajectories. It provides an alternative framework in which to study uncertain interconnections or systems with…
We consider the problem of global stability of nonlinear sampled-data systems. Sampled-data systems are a form of hybrid model which arises when discrete measurements and updates are used to control continuous-time plants. In this paper, we…
We present a new data-driven method to provide probabilistic stability guarantees for black-box switched linear systems. By sampling a finite number of observations of trajectories, we construct approximate Lyapunov functions and deduce the…
We provide a computer-assisted approach to ensure that a given continuous or discrete-time polynomial system is (asymptotically) stable. Our framework relies on constructive analysis together with formally certified sums of squares Lyapunov…
The control Lyapunov function (CLF) approach to nonlinear control design is well established. Moreover, when the plant is control affine and polynomial, sum-of-squares (SOS) optimization can be used to find a polynomial controller as a…
