Hybrid systems with memory are dynamical systems exhibiting both hybrid and delay phenomena. In this note, we study the asymptotic stability of hybrid systems with memory using generalized concepts of solutions. These generalized solutions,…
This paper is concerned with stability analysis and synthesis for discrete-time linear systems with stochastic dynamics. Equivalence is first proved for three stability notions under some key assumptions on the randomness behind the…
This paper focuses on the fractional difference of Lyapunov functions related to Riemann-Liouville, Caputo and Grunwald-Letnikov definitions. A new way of building Lyapunov functions is introduced and then five inequalities are derived for…
In this paper, the problem of assessing the Finite-Time Stability (FTS) property for general nonlinear systems is considered. First, some necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the FTS of general nonlinear systems are provided;…
While stability analysis is a mainstay for control science, especially computing regions of attraction of equilibrium points, until recently most stability analysis tools always required explicit knowledge of the model or a high-fidelity…
We introduce the notion of Lyapunov exponents for random dynamical systems, conditioned to trajectories that stay within a bounded domain for asymptotically long times. This is motivated by the desire to characterize local dynamical…
The aim of this short note is to show how to construct a complete Lyapunov function of a semiflow by using a complete Lyapunov function of its time-one map. As a byproduct we assure the existence of complete Lyapunov functions for semiflows…
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…
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…
In this paper, we propose two discontinuous dynamical systems in continuous time with guaranteed prescribed finite-time local convergence to strict local minima of a given cost function. Our approach consists of exploiting a Lyapunov-based…
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…
We consider the problem of designing a stabilizing and optimal static controller with a pre-specified sparsity pattern. Since this problem is NP-hard in general, it is necessary to resort to approximation approaches. In this paper, we…
We present a novel nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) scheme with relaxed stability criteria, based on the idea of generalized discrete-time control Lyapunov functions. These functions need to satisfy an average descent over a finite…
An overview of stability conditions in terms of the Lyapunov matrix for time-delay systems is presented. The main results and proof are presented in details for the case of systems with multiple delays. The state of the art, ongoing…
This paper proposes a control design approach for stabilizing nonlinear control systems. Our key observation is that the set of points where the decrease condition of a control Lyapunov function (CLF) is feasible can be regarded as a safe…
Monotone systems preserve a partial ordering of states along system trajectories and are often amenable to separable Lyapunov functions that are either the sum or the maximum of a collection of functions of a scalar argument. In this paper,…
This article establishes the existence of Lyapunov functions for analyzing the stability of a class of state-constrained systems, and it describes algorithms for their numerical computation. The system model consists of a differential…
We provide several characterizations of convergence to unstable equilibria in nonlinear systems. Our current contribution is three-fold. First we present simple algebraic conditions for establishing local convergence of non-trivial…
Using a nonlocal second-order traffic flow model we present an approach to control the dynamics towards a steady state. The system is controlled by the leading vehicle driving at a prescribed velocity and also determines the steady state.…
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…
