Lyapunov functions are an important tool to determine the basin of attraction of equilibria in Dynamical Systems through their sublevel sets. Recently, several numerical construction methods for Lyapunov functions have been proposed, among them the RBF (Radial Basis Function) and CPA (Continuous Piecewise Affine) methods. While the first method lacks a verification that the constructed function...

The paper presents a new method for higher order sliding mode control using control Lyapunov function for chain of integrator system with nonlinear uncertainties. The stability proof of the suggested scheme is analyzed in terms of two Lyapunov functions using appropriate switching function. Using these Lyapunov functions and switching scheme it is proved that, output and its higher order deriva...

Abstract. The paper presents a method of determining of the Lyapunov functional for a linear neutral system with an interval time-varying delay. The Lyapunov functional is constructed for the system with a time-varying delay with a given time derivative, which is calculated on the trajectory of the system with a time-varying delay. The presented method gives analytical formulas for the coeffici...

We present a method for the construction of Foster-Lyapunov functions to prove ergodicity of hybrid piecewise-deterministic Markov processes. Our method searches for the Lyapunov function that maximizes a measure of the rate of convergence that appears in the theory of large deviations. We provide conditions under which such a Lyapunov function is the limit of an iterative procedure. Analytical...

The paper presents a method of determining of the Lyapunov quadratic functional for linear time-invariant system with two delays both retarded and neutral type. The Lyapunov functional is constructed for a given its time derivative which is calculated on the trajectory of the system with two delays both retarded and neutral type. The presented method gives analytical formulas for the coefficien...

Abstract: A new method to solve a Lyapunov equation for a discrete delay system is proposed. Using this method, a Lyapunov equation can be solved from a simple linear equation and N -th power of a constant matrix, where N is the state delay. Combining a Lyapunov equation and frequency domain stability, a new stability condition is proposed for a discrete state delay system whose state delay is ...

Lyapunov exponents, important invariants of a complicated dynamical process, can be difficult to determine from experimental data. In particular, when using embedding theory to build chaotic attractors in a reconstruction space, extra “spurious” Lyapunov exponents can arise that are not Lyapunov exponents of the original system. By studying the local linearization matrices that are key to a pop...

The notion of non-uniform Robust Global Asymptotic Stability (RGAS) presented in this paper generalizes the notion of non-uniform in time RGAS for finiteor infinite-dimensional discrete-time systems. Lyapunov characterizations for this stability notion are provided. The results are applied to finitedimensional discrete-time systems obtained by time discretization of continuous-time systems by t...

Nuclearity of the Hankel operator is a known sufficient condition for convergence of Lyapunov-balanced truncations. We show how a previous result on nuclearity of Hankel operators of systems with an analytic semigroup can be extended to systems with a semigroup of class D with p ≥ 1 (the case p = 1 being the analytic case). For semigroups that are generated by a Dunford-Schwartz spectral operat...

In this paper, an iterative technique is proposed to solve linear integrated active/passive design problems. The optimality of active and passive parts leads to the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation due to the active parameters and some associated additional Lyapunov equations due to the passive parameters. Rather than the solution of the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation, it is proposed ...
