We study distributed differentiation, where agents in a networked system estimate the average of local time-varying signals and their derivatives under mild assumptions on the agents' signals and their first and second derivatives. Existing…

For general time-varying or switched (nonlinear) systems, converse Lyapunov theorems for stability are not available. In these cases, the integral input-to-state stability (iISS) property is not equivalent to the existence of an…

Nonlinear networks are often multistable, exhibiting coexisting stable states with competing regions of attraction (ROAs). As a result, ROAs can have complex "tentacle-like" morphologies that are challenging to characterize analytically or…

Recent works have shown that the $L_1$ and $L_\infty$-gains are natural performance criteria for linear positive systems as they can be characterized using linear programs. Those performance measures have also been extended to linear…

We propose a general Langevin equation describing the universal properties of synchronization transitions in extended systems. By means of theoretical arguments and numerical simulations we show that the proposed equation exhibits,…

We develop a Lyapunov-based small-gain theorem for establishing fixed-time input-to-state stability (FxT-ISS) guarantees in interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems. The proposed framework considers interconnections in which each…

We provide explicit closed form expressions for strict Lyapunov functions for time-varying discrete time systems. Our Lyapunov functions are expressed in terms of known nonstrict Lyapunov functions for the dynamics and finite sums of…

This article aims to investigate sufficient conditions for the stability of stochastic differential equations with a random structure, particularly in contexts involving the presence of concentration points. The proof of asymptotic…

This paper presents a method to stabilize state and input constrained nonlinear systems using an offline optimization on variable triangulations of the set of admissible states. For control-affine systems, by choosing a continuous piecewise…

We propose a single time-scale stochastic subgradient method for constrained optimization of a composition of several nonsmooth and nonconvex functions. The functions are assumed to be locally Lipschitz and differentiable in a generalized…

A system is called positive if the set of non-negative states is left invariant by the dynamics. Stability analysis and controller optimization are greatly simplified for such systems. For example, linear Lyapunov functions and storage…

For a broad class of nonlinear systems, we construct smooth control-Lyapunov functions whose derivatives along the trajectories of the systems can be made negative definite by smooth control laws that are arbitrarily small in norm. We…

We propose new methods for learning control policies and neural network Lyapunov functions for nonlinear control problems, with provable guarantee of stability. The framework consists of a learner that attempts to find the control and…

We propose a technique for the design and analysis of adaptation algorithms in dynamical systems. The technique applies both to systems with conventional Lyapunov-stable target dynamics and to ones of which the desired dynamics around the…

We show that a linear Young differential equation generates a topological two-parameter flow, thus the notions of Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov spectrum are well-defined. The spectrum can be computed using the discretized flow and is…

For data-driven control of nonlinear systems, the basis functions characterizing the dynamics are usually essential. In existing works, the basis functions are often carefully chosen based on pre-knowledge of the dynamics so that the system…

In the article$^a$, the authors introduced a time-varying Lyapunov function for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems whose motion is governed by standard Newton-Euler equations. The authors established asymptotic stability with the…

LaSalle techniques to ensure the convergence of a given output usually fail at guaranteeing uniform convergence time, which induces robustness issues. Recent works have provided extra conditions under which a Lyapunov function that…

For a dynamical system, it is known that the existence of a Lyapunov-type density function, called Lyapunov density or Rantzer's density function, implies convergence of Lebesgue almost all solutions to an equilibrium. Using the duality…

We provide algorithms for computing a Lyapunov function for a class of systems where the state trajectories are constrained to evolve within a closed convex set. The dynamical systems that we consider comprise a differential equation which…
