With the goal of providing the first example of application of a recently proposed method, thus demonstrating its ability to give results in principle, global stability of a version of the rotating Couette flow is examined. The flow depends on the Reynolds number and a parameter characterizing the magnitude of the Coriolis force. By converting the original Navier-Stokes equations to a finite-di...

A new type of stability is introduced and its equivalent Lyapunov characterization is presented. The problem of global stability for the compact set composed of all invariant solutions of a nonlinear system (several equilibriums, for instance) is studied. Such problem statement allows us to analyze global stability properties for multi-stable systems. It is shown that several well-known multi-s...

We present sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of cascade discrete-time systems. Considering failure of the global asymptotic stability in some cascade systems, we give an estimate of the region of attraction of the systems.

INTrODUCTION Recurrent neural networks whose neurons are fully interconnected have been utilized to implement associative memories and solve optimization problems. These networks are regarded as nonlinear dynamical feedback systems. Stability properties of this class of dynamical networks are an important issue from applications point of view. ABSTrACT Global stability analysis for complex-valu...

We performed two-dimensional non-linear hydrodynamical simulations of two-component gravitating disks aimed at studying stability properties of these systems. In agreement with previous analytical and numerical simulations, we find that the cold gas component strongly affects the growth rates of the unstable global spiral modes in the disk. Already a five percent admixture of cold gas increases...

Global finite-time observers are designed for a class of nonlinear systems with bounded varying rational powers imposed on the increments of the nonlinearities whose solutions exist and are unique for all positive time. The global finite-time observers designed in this paper are with two homogeneous terms. The global finite-time convergence of the observation error system is achieved by combini...

In this paper, we establish the global asymptotic stability of an endemic equilibrium for an SIRS epidemic model with distributed time delays. It is shown that the global stability holds for any rate of immunity loss, if the basic reproduction number is greater than 1 and less than or equals to a critical value. Otherwise, there is a maximal rate of immunity loss which guarantees the global sta...

In this paper, we propose and analyze a mathematical model describing the effect of awareness programs by public media on the prevalence of Typhoid fever. A threshold quantity $R_{0}$, similar to the basic reproduction number is derived. We investigate the biologically meaningful equilibrium points and their local stability analysis. The global stability analysis has been performed with respect...

Global finite-time observers are designed for a class of nonlinear systems that are uniformly observable and possibly non-Lipschitz. The non-Lipschitz conditions under which global finite-time observers exist are in terms of bounds of the varying rational powers of the increments of the non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. These are the same conditions under which semi-global finite-time observers wer...
