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…

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…

Predictive safety filters provide a way of projecting potentially unsafe inputs, proposed, e.g. by a human or learning-based controller, onto the set of inputs that guarantee recursive state and input constraint satisfaction by leveraging…

We study local (also referred to as small-signal) stability of a network of identical DC/AC converters having a rotating degree of freedom. We develop a stability theory for a class of partitioned linear systems with symmetries that has…

We consider a nonlinear discrete stochastic control system, and our goal is to design a feedback control policy in order to lead the system to a prespecified state. We adopt a stochastic approximation viewpoint of this problem. It is known…

This paper studies finite-time stability and instability theorems in probability sense for stochastic nonlinear systems. Firstly, a new sufficient condition is proposed to guarantee that the considered system has a global solution.…

We address the stability problem for linear switching systems with mode-dependent restrictions on the switching intervals. Their lengths can be bounded as from below (the guaranteed dwell-time) as from above. The upper bounds make this…

We establish metastability in the sense of Lebowitz and Penrose under practical and simple hypothesis for (families of) Markov chains on finite configuration space in some asymptotic regime, including the case of configuration space size…

In this paper, we propose a Lyapunov-based reinforcement learning method for distributed control of nonlinear systems comprising interacting subsystems with guaranteed closed-loop stability. Specifically, we conduct a detailed stability…

This paper considers the problem of finite-time stability for stochastic nonlinear systems. A new Lyapunov theorem of stochastic finite-time stability is proposed, and an important corollary is obtained. Some comparisons with the existing…

We present new theorems characterizing robust Lyapunov functions and infinite horizon value functions in optimal control as unique viscosity solutions of partial differential equations. We use these results to further extend Zubov's method…

In this paper, we consider linear switched systems $\dot x(t)=A_{u(t)} x(t)$, $x\in\R^n$, $u\in U$, and the problem of asymptotic stability for arbitrary switching functions, uniform with respect to switching ({\bf UAS} for short). We first…

Robust stabilization conditions for uncertain switched affine systems subject to a unitary input delay are presented. They are obtained through the Lyapunov framework and a min-switching state-feedback predictive control law. The result…

The paper deals with output feedback stabilization of exponentially stable systems by an integral controller. We propose appropriate Lyapunov functionals to prove exponential stability of the closed-loop system. An example of parabolic PDE…

This paper studies data-driven stabilization of a class of unknown polynomial systems using data corrupted by bounded noise. Existing work addressing this problem has focused on designing a controller and a Lyapunov function so that a…

Feedback asymptotic stabilization of control systems is an important topic of control theory and applications. Broadly speaking, if the system $\dot{x} = f(x,u)$ is locally asymptotically stabilizable, then there exists a feedback control…

This article provides a novel continuous-time state feedback control strategy to stabilize an eigenstate of the Hermitian measurement operator of a two-level quantum system. In open loop, such system converges stochastically to one of the…

This paper is devoted to the study of Lyapunov type inequalities for periodic conservative systems. The main results are derived from a previous analysis which relates the best Lyapunov constants to some especial (constrained or…

This paper proposes a notion of viscosity weak supersolutions to build a bridge between stochastic Lyapunov stability theory and viscosity solution theory. Different from ordinary differential equations, stochastic differential equations…

Lyapunov functions are essential tools in dynamical systems, as they allow the stability analysis of equilibrium points without the need to explicitly solve the system's equations. Despite their importance, no systematic method exists for…
