چکیده
It is well know that for globally contractive autonomous systems, there exists a unique equilibrium and the distance to the equilibrium evaluated along any trajectory decreases exponentially with time. We show that, additionally, the magnitude of the velocity evaluated along any trajectory decreases exponentially, thus giving an alternative choice of Lyapunov function. 1 Main Result Consider the nonlinear system ẋ = f(x) (1) for x ∈ R and continuously differentiable f(·). Denote the Jacobian as J(x) , ∂f ∂x (x). (2) Let | · | be a vector norm on R, ‖ · ‖ its induced matrix norm, and μ(A) , limh→0+ 1 h (‖I + hA‖ − 1) the associated matrix measure. Theorem 1. If there exists c > 0 such that μ(J(x)) ≤ −c for all x ∈ R, then |f(x(t))| ≤ |f(x(0))|e. (3) Proof. Let V (x) , |f(x)|. V (x(t)) is then absolutely continuous as a function of t and therefore V̇ (x(t)) , lim h→0+ V (x(t+ h))− V (x(t)) h (4) The authors are with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. {scoogan,arcak}@eecs.berkeley.edu

On the H-Infinity Norm of 2D Mixed Continuous-Discrete-Time Systems Via Rationally-Dependent Complex Lyapunov Functions
This paper addresses the problem of determining the H∞ norm of 2D mixed continuous-discrete-time systems. A novel approach is proposed based on the use of a class of complex Lyapunov functions with rational dependence on a parameter, which provides upper bounds on the sought norm via linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is also shown that the provided upper bounds are nonconservative by using ...
متن کاملAn L 2 Convergence Theorem for Random Aane Mappings
We consider the composition of random i.i.d. aane maps of a Hilbert space to itself. We show convergence of the n'th composition in the Wasserstein metric via a contraction argument. The contraction condition involves the operator norm of the expectation of a bilinear form. This is contrasted with the usual contraction condition of a negative Lyapunov exponent. Our condition is stronger but eas...
متن کاملFinite time stabilization of time-delay nonlinear systems with uncertainty and time-varying delay
In this paper, the problem of finite-time stability and finite-time stabilization for a specific class of dynamical systems with nonlinear functions in the presence time-varying delay and norm-bounded uncertainty terms is investigated. Nonlinear functions are considered to satisfy the Lipchitz conditions. At first, sufficient conditions to guarantee the finite-time stability for time-delay nonl...
متن کاملA Contractive Approach to Separable Lyapunov Functions for Monotone Systems
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, we consider constructing separable Lyapunov functions for monotone systems that are also contractive, that is, the distance between any pair of trajectories...
متن کاملLocal stabilization for a class of nonlinear impulsive switched system with non-vanishing uncertainties under a norm-bounded control input
Stability and stabilization of impulsive switched system have been considered in recent decades, but there are some issues that are not yet fully addressed such as actuator saturation. This paper deals with expo-nential stabilization for a class of nonlinear impulsive switched systems with different types of non-vanishing uncertainties under the norm-bounded control input. Due to the constraine...
