We develop a direct Lyapunov method for the almost sure open-loop stabilizability and asymptotic stabilizability of controlled degenerate diffusion processes. The infinitesimal decrease condition for a Lyapunov function is a new form of…

We prove optimality principles for semicontinuous bounded viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. In particular we provide a representation formula for viscosity supersolutions as value functions of suitable obstacle…

In this paper, we extend well-known relationships between global asymptotic controllability, sample stabilizability, and the existence of a control Lyapunov function to a wide class of control systems with unbounded controls, which includes…

Converse optimality theory addresses an optimal control problem conversely where the system is unknown and the value function is chosen. Previous work treated this problem both in continuous and discrete time and non-extensively considered…

We prove a robust converse barrier function theorem via the converse Lyapunov theory. While the use of a Lyapunov function as a barrier function is straightforward, the existence of a converse Lyapunov function as a barrier function for a…

This work is devoted to the almost sure stabilization of adaptive control systems that involve an unknown Markov chain. The control system displays continuous dynamics represented by differential equations and discrete events given by a…

We prove a converse Lyapunov theorem for boundedness of reachability sets for a general class of control systems whose flow is Lipschitz continuous on compact intervals with respect to trajectory-dominated inputs. We show that this…

We develop a method to prove almost global stability of stochastic differential equations in the sense that almost every initial point (with respect to the Lebesgue measure) is asymptotically attracted to the origin with unit probability.…

We derive a saturated feedback control, which locally stabilizes a linear reaction-diffusion equation. In contrast to most other works on this topic, we do not assume the Lyapunov stability of the uncontrolled system and consider general…

Lyapunov's theorem provides a foundational characterization of stable equilibrium points in dynamical systems. In this paper, we develop a framework for stability for F-coalgebras. We give two definitions for a categorical setting in which…

The topic of this manuscript is the stability analysis of continuous-time switched nonlinear systems with constraints on the admissible switching signals. Our particular focus lies in considering signals characterized by upper and lower…

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…

The present work extends recent results by second author concerning sampled-data feedback stabilization for affine in the control of nonlinear systems with nonzero drift term, under the presence of a generalized control Lyapunov function…

In this brief note, we investigate some constructions of Lyapunov functions for stochastic discrete-time stabilizable dynamical systems, in other words, controlled Markov chains. The main question here is whether a Lyapunov function in some…

We show that every globally asymptotically stable system with a twice continuously differentiable vector field admits a local polynomial Lyapunov function on an arbitrary bounded neighborhood of the origin.

For systems evolving on a Riemannian manifold, we propose converse Lyapunov theorems for asymptotic and exponential stability. The novelty of the proposed approach is that is does not rely on local Euclidean coordinate, and is thus valid on…

For a general time-varying system, we prove that existence of an "Output Robust Control Lyapunov Function" implies existence of continuous time-varying feedback stabilizer, which guarantees output asymptotic stability with respect to the…

Lyapunov stability theory is the bedrock of direct adaptive control. Fundamentally, Lyapunov stability requires constructing a distance-like function which must decrease with time to ensure stability. Feedback linearization, backstepping,…

This work is devoted to almost sure and moment exponential stability of regime-switching jump diffusions. The Lyapunov function method is used to derive sufficient conditions for stabilities for general nonlinear systems; which further…

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…
