In this paper, an asymptotic stability proof for a class of methods for inexact nonlinear model predictive control is presented. General Q-linearly convergent online optimization methods are considered and an asymptotic stability result is…
This paper deals with asymptotic stability of a class of dynamical systems in terms of smooth Lyapunov pairs. We point out that well known converse Lyapunov results for differential inclusions cannot be applied to this class of dynamical…
We consider stability analysis of constrained switching linear systems in which the dynamics is unknown and whose switching signal is constrained by an automaton. We propose a data-driven Lyapunov framework for providing probabilistic…
Prediction-based transformation is applied to control-affine systems with distributed input delays. Transformed system state is calculated as a prediction of the system's future response to the past input with future input set to zero.…
This paper studies the use of vector Lyapunov functions for the design of globally stabilizing feedback laws for nonlinear systems. Recent results on vector Lyapunov functions are utilized. The main result of the paper shows that the…
This work studies the problem of searching for homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions for stable switched linear systems. Specifically, we show an equivalence between polynomial Lyapunov functions for systems of this class and quadratic…
We study stability criteria for discrete-time switched systems and provide a meta-theorem that characterizes all Lyapunov theorems of a certain canonical type. For this purpose, we investigate the structure of sets of LMIs that provide a…
In this paper we consider input-to-state stability (ISS) of impulsive control systems with and without time-delays. We prove that if the time-delay system possesses an exponential Lyapunov-Razumikhin function or an exponential…
In this paper, a class of abstract dynamical systems is considered which encompasses a wide range of nonlinear finite- and infinite-dimensional systems. We show that the existence of a non-coercive Lyapunov function without any further…
It is known that state-dependent, multi-step Lyapunov bounds lead to greatly simplified verification theorems for stability for large classes of Markov chain models. This is one component of the "fluid model" approach to stability of…
New methods are developed for the stabilization of a linear system with general time-varying distributed delays existing at the system's states, inputs and outputs. In contrast to most existing literature where the function of time-varying…
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 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…
We propose the first generalization of Sontag s universal controller to systems not affine in the control, particularly, to PDEs with boundary actuation. We assume that the system admits a control Lyapunov function (CLF) whose derivative,…
Motivated by recent applications in control theory, we study the feedback stabilizability of switched systems, where one is allowed to chose the switching signal as a function of $x(t)$ in order to stabilize the system. We propose new…
This paper considers a sampling-based approach to stability verification for piecewise continuous nonlinear systems via Lyapunov functions. Depending on the system dynamics, the candidate Lyapunov function and the set of initial states of…
Stability of retarded differential equations is closely related to the existence of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. Even if a number of converse results have been reported regarding the existence of such functionals, there is a lack of…
LaSalle invariance principle was originally proposed in the 1950's and has become a fundamental mathematical tool in the area of dynamical systems and control. In both theoretical research and engineering practice, discrete-time dynamical…
We study convergence of nonlinear systems in the presence of an `almost Lyapunov' function which, unlike the classical Lyapunov function, is allowed to be nondecreasing---and even increasing---on a nontrivial subset of the phase space.…
This paper proposes several Converse Lyapunov Theorems for nonlinear dynamical systems defined on smooth connected Riemannian manifolds and characterizes properties of corresponding Lyapunov functions in a normal neighborhood of an…
