This work proposes a new a framework for determining robust periodic invariant sets and their associated control laws for constrained uncertain linear systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions for stabilizability by periodic controllers…

In a prior paper, the author described an instability in a nonlinear wavefunction model. Proposed in connection with the Measurement Problem, the model contained an external potential creating a ``classical'' instability. However, it is…

This paper is concerned with stability analysis of nonlinear time-varying systems by using Lyapunov function based approach. The classical Lyapunov stability theorems are generalized in the sense that the time-derivative of the Lyapunov…

Stability and causality are studied for linear perturbations about equilibrium in Carter's multifluid theory. Our stability analysis is grounded on the requirement that the entropy of the multifluid, plus that of the environment, must be…

In this article, we propose a Lyapunov stability approach to analyze the convergence of the density operator of a quantum system. In analog to the classical probability measure for Markovian processes, we show that the set of invariant…

In this paper, we propose a new convex approach to stability analysis of nonlinear systems with polynomial vector fields. First, we consider an arbitrary convex polytope that contains the equilibrium in its interior. Then, we decompose the…

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 present new results on finite- and fixed-time convergence for dynamical systems using LaSalle-like invariance principles. In particular, we provide first and second-order non-smooth Lyapunov-like results for finite- and…

This paper is concerned with relationships of Lyapunov exponents with sensitivity and stability for non-autonomous discrete systems. Some new concepts are introduced for non-autonomous discrete systems, including Lyapunov exponents, strong…

Lyapunov functions are used to prove stability of equilibria, or to indicate a gradient-like structure of a dynamical system. Zelenyak (1968) and Matano (1988) constructed a Lyapunov function for quasilinear parabolic equations. We modify…

We numerically study in the one-dimensional case the validity of the functional calculated by Graham and coworkers as a Lyapunov potential for the Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. In non-chaotic regions of parameter space the functional…

We analyse the development of instability in the framework of nonlinear electrodynamics based on the Maxwell's equations without approach of slowly varying amplitudes and phases. The action is chosen from the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian,…

In this paper we consider the stability for a type of stochastic McKean-Vlasov equations with non-Lipschitz coefficients. First, sufficient conditions are given for the exponential stability of the second moments for their solutions in…

We propose a composite Lyapunov framework for nonlinear autonomous systems that ensures strict decay through a pair of differential inequalities. The approach yields integral estimates, quantitative convergence rates, vanishing of…

For a fast particle moving within a two-dimensional array of soft scatterers - centers of weak and short-range potential - the dependence of the Lyapunov exponent on the system parameters is studied. The use of the linearized equations for…

In recent work a deterministic and time-reversible boundary thermostat called thermostating by deterministic scattering has been introduced for the periodic Lorentz gas [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84}, 4268 (2000)]. Here we assess the nonlinear…

In this paper we introduce the concept of universal stabilizability: the condition that every solution of a nonlinear system can be globally stabilized. We give sufficient conditions in terms of the existence of a control contraction…

This is a survey of some invariances that arise in dynamical systems theory in the presence of zero Lyapunov exponents.

We study the stability of standing wave solutions to a one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevsky equation with a periodic potential. We use some simple complex analysis and the Hamiltonian structure of the problem to give a simple rigorous criterion…

This article proposes an approach to construct a Lyapunov function for a linear coupled impulsive system consisting of two time-invariant subsystems. In contrast to various variants of small-gain stability conditions for coupled systems,…
