This paper proposes a new approach to analyze and synthesize robust consensus control laws for general linear leaderless multi-agent systems (MASs) subjected to input constraints or uncertainties. First, the MAS under input constraints or…

This paper investigates the consensus problem in almost sure sense for uncertain multi-agent systems with noises and fixed topology. By combining the tools of stochastic analysis, algebraic graph theory, and matrix theory, we analyze the…

This note studies the exponential convergence of input-output signals of discrete-time nonlinear systems composed of a feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant system and a nonlinear uncertainty. Both the open-loop subsystems are…

This work deals with the stability analysis of nonlinear sampled-data systems under nonuniform sampling. It establishes novel relationships between the stability property of the exact discrete-time model for a given sequence of (aperiodic)…

This paper is concerned with the convergence rate of the solutions of nonlinear switched systems. We first consider a switched system which is asymptotically stable for a class of inputs but not for all inputs. We show that solutions…

We introduce the notions of semi-uniform input-to-state stability and its subclass, polynomial input-to-state stability, for infinite-dimensional systems. We establish a characterization of semi-uniform input-to-state stability based on…

Lur'e systems are feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant subsystem in the forward path and a memoryless nonlinear one in the feedback path, which have many physical representatives. In this paper, some classical theorems about…

We study synchronization of nonlinear systems that satisfy an incremental passivity property. We consider the case where the control input is subject to a class of disturbances, including constant and sinusoidal disturbances with unknown…

Lur'e-type nonlinear systems are virtually ubiquitous in applied control theory, which explains the great interest they have attracted throughout the years. The purpose of this paper is to propose conditions to assess incremental asymptotic…

We provide novel sufficient conditions for stability of nonlinear and time-varying impulsive systems. These conditions generalize, extend, and strengthen many existing results. Different types of input-to-state stability (ISS), as well as…

This paper is concerned with the study of synchronization and consensus phenomena in complex networks of diffusively-coupled nodes subject to external disturbances. Specifically, we make use of stochastic Lyapunov functions to provide…

We analyze the stability properties of Lur'e systems with piecewise continuous nonlinearities by exploiting the notion of set-valued Lie derivative for Lur'e-Postnikov Lyapunov functions. We first extend an existing result of the literature…

This paper focuses on analyzing the finite-time convergence of a nonlinear consensus algorithm for multi-agent networks with unknown inherent nonlinear dynamics. Due to the existence of the unknown inherent nonlinear dynamics, the stability…

A general sufficient condition for the convergence of subsequences of solutions of non-autonomous, nonlinear difference equations and systems is obtained. For higher order equations the delay sizes and patterns play essential roles in…

This paper addresses the problem of reaching consensus under input saturation and intermittent communication, which can hinder the convergence of the system. We propose a method that translates the consensus into an equivalent stability…

Two types of general nonlinear consensus protocols are considered in this paper, namely the systems with nonlinear measurement and communication of the agents' states, respectively. The solutions of the systems are understood in the sense…

This paper introduce the notion of output contraction that expands the contraction notion to the time-varying nonlinear systems with output. It pertains to the systems' property that any pair of outputs from the system converge to each…

In this technical note, we introduce a novel approach to studying consensus of continuous-time nonlinear systems with varying topology based on Hilbert metric. We demonstrate that this metric offers significant flexibility in analyzing…

Learning models of dynamical systems characterized by specific stability properties is of crucial importance in applications. Existing results mainly focus on linear systems or some limited classes of nonlinear systems and stability…

Convergence of the solutions of nonhomogeneous linear singularly perturbed systems to that of the corresponding reduced singular system on the half-line [0, $\infty $) is considered. To include the situation on a neighborhood of initial…
