The concept of control Lyapunov function has been proven a useful tool for designing robust control laws for nonlinear systems. Recently, this concept has been extended to time-delay systems in the form of Control Lyapunov Razumikhin functions. In this paper we further develop this extension by introducing Control Lyapunov Krasovsky functionals and show their use for robust stabilization of tim...

This paper considers the problem of adaptive output feedback tracking control for a class of nonstrict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown time-varying delays and unknown backlash-like hysteresis. Fuzzy logic systems are used to estimate the unknown nonlinear functions. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method, the control scheme is constructed by using the backstepping and adaptive techniqu...

This paper considers sampled-data control of linear systems under uncertain sampling with the known upper bound on the sampling intervals. Recently a discontinuous Lyapunov function method was introduced by using impulsive system representation of the sampled-data systems (Naghshtabrizi, Hespanha, & Teel, 2008). The latter method improved the existing results, based on the input delay approach ...

In the paper presents a brief survey of some new developments in Lyapunov’s approach including the generalized perturbation equation and its applications; the use of nonanalytic Lyapunov functions; an extension of the Barbashin-Krasovskii theorem related to asymptotic stability assured by a Lyapunov function with nonpositive derivative; the consistency condition for a time-space mosaic that con...

In this contribution, the estimates for response of time-delay systems with nonlinear homogeneous right-hand side degree strictly greater than one are constructed. The existing results obtained via Lyapunov--Razumikhin approach reminded. Their proofs, revisited in appendix, lead to explicit expressions involved constants. Based on a recently introduced Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and known d...

Some new Lyapunov type theorems for stochastic difference equations with continuous time are proven. It is shown that these theorems simplify an application of Lyapunov functionals construction method.

Abstract. This paper deals with a class of uncertain nonlinear impulsive switched systems with time-varying delays. A novel type of piecewise Lyapunov functionals is constructed to derive the exponential stability. This type of functionals can efficiently overcome the impulsive and switching jump of adjacent Lyapunov functionals at impulsive switching times. Based on this, a delay-independent s...
