New results on set stability and input-to-state stability in pulse-width modulated (PWM) control systems with disturbances are presented. The results are based on a recent generalization of two time scale stability theory to differential equations with disturbances. In particular, averaging theory for systems with disturbances is used to establish the results. The nonsmooth nature of PWM system...

Let K be a locally compact hypergroup. In this paper we initiate the concept of fundamental domain in locally compact hypergroups and then we introduce the Borel section mapping. In fact, a fundamental domain is a subset of a hypergroup K including a unique element from each cosets, and the Borel section mapping is a function which corresponds to any coset, the related unique element in the fun...

A Lipschitz map f between the metric spaces X and Y is called a Lipschitz quotient map if there is a C > 0 (the smallest such C, the co-Lipschitz constant, is denoted coLip(f), while Lip(f) denotes the Lipschitz constant of f) so that for every x ∈ X and r > 0, fBX(x, r) ⊃ BY (f(x), r/C). Thus Lipschitz quotient maps are surjective maps which by definition have the property ensured by the open ...

A class of nonlinear Neumann problems driven by p(x)-Laplacian with a nonsmooth locally Lipschitz potential (hemivariational inequality) was considered. The approach used in this paper is the variational method for locally Lipschitz functions. More precisely, Weierstrass theorem and Mountain Pass theorem are used to prove the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions.

This paper deals with precise mapping properties of the Bergman and Szegö projections of pseudo-convex domains of finite type in C whose Levi form are locally diagonalizable at every point of the boundary (see Section 2 for a precise definition). We obtain sharp estimates for these operators for usual Lpk Sobolev spaces, classical Lipschitz spaces Λα and nonisotropic Lipschitz spaces Γα related...

We consider general stochastic systems of interacting particles with noise which are relevant as models for the collective behavior of animals, and rigorously prove that in the mean-field limit the system is close to the solution of a kinetic PDE. Our aim is to include models widely studied in the literature such as the CuckerSmale model, adding noise to the behavior of individuals. The difficu...

Solutions to optimization problems of convex type are typically characterized by saddle point conditions in which the primal vector is paired with a dual ‘multiplier’ vector. This paper investigates the behavior of such a primal-dual pair with respect to perturbations in parameters on which the problem depends. A necessary and sufficient condition in terms of certain matrices is developed for t...

We prove that a Lipschitz (or uniformly continuous) mapping f : X → Y can be approximated by smooth Lipschitz (resp. uniformly continuous) mapping, if X is a separable Banach space admitting a smooth Lipschitz bump and either X or Y is a C(K) space (resp. super-reflexive space). As a corollary we obtain also smooth approximation of C1-smooth mappings together with their first derivatives.
