Abstract: Stability analysis and stabilization synthesis problems of the singularly perturbed switched systems (SPSSs) are investigated in this paper. First, stability of the SPSS with stable subsystems is discussed by using an average dwell time approach with a full-order piecewise Lyapunov function. Then, the result is extended to the situation that not all the subsystems are Hurwitz stable. ...

Many complex physical systems are the interconnection of lower-dimensional subsystems. For such systems, distributed stability analysis and observer design presents several advantages with respect to centralized approaches, such as modularity, easier analysis and design, and reduced computational complexity. Applications include distributed process control, traffic and communication networks, a...

There is increasing evidence that globular clusters retain sizeable black hole populations at present day. This supported by dynamical simulations of cluster evolution, which have unveiled the spatial distribution and mass spectrum holes in across cosmic age. However, young, high metallicity remain unconstrained. Black hosted these segregate early their evolutionary history, forming central sub...
