Polytopic Lyapunov functions for persistence analysis of competing species
نویسندگان
چکیده
ABSTRACT. We show that stability of the equilibrium of a family of interconnected scalar systems can be proved by using a sum of monotonic C functions as Lyapunov function. We prove this result in the general framework of nonlinear systems and then in the special case of Kolmogorov systems. As an application, it is then used to show that intra-specific competition can explain coexistence of several species in a chemostat where they compete for a single substrate. This invalidates the Competitive Exclusion Principle, that states that in the classical case (without this intra-specific competition), it is indeed known that only one of the species will survive.

General polynomial parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions for polytopic uncertain systems
New LMI conditions are given for robust H2 analysis of polytopic systems based on polynomial parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions. Results are derived using a ”slack variables” approach. Numerical results illustrate the characteristics of the proposed results in terms of conservatism reduction and numerical complexity.
متن کاملRobust stability analysis and control design for switched uncertain polytopic systems
This paper is dedicated to the study of robust stability analysis and control synthesis for discrete time uncertain switching systems under arbitrary switching. Polytopic uncertainties are considered. We show that Lyapunov functions that depend on the uncertain parameter and that take into account the structure of the system may be used in order to reduce the conservatism related to uncertainty...
متن کاملHomogeneous Polynomial Lyapunov Functions for Robust Local Synchronization with Time-varying Uncertainties
This paper studies robust local synchronization in multi-agent systems with time-varying parametric uncertainties constrained in a polytope. In contrast to existing methods with non-convex conditions via using quadratic Lyapunov function (QLF), a new criteria is proposed based on using homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions (HPLFs) where the original system is suitably approximated by an unc...
متن کاملAnalysis of Piecewise Linear Systems via Convex Optimization – a Unifying Approach
The recently developed technique for computation of piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions is specialized to Lyapunov functions that are piecewise linear. This establishes a unified framework for computation of quadratic, piecewise quadratic, piecewise linear and polytopic Lyapunov functions. The search for a piecewise linear Lyapunov function is formulated as a linear programming problem, and ...
متن کاملEstimate of Attractive Regions for Systems Satisfying Polytopic Uncertainties in Given Regions
To estimate stability region of systems satisfying polytopic uncertainties in given regions is very important since such systems are given as models of linear systems with saturating control or nonlinear systems with nonlinear elements which satisfy sector conditions in given regions. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the maximal robust attractive region of such systems using polyt...
