In this paper we define strong and weak common quadratic Lyapunov functions (CQLF’s) for sets of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. We show that the simultaneous existence of a weak CQLF of a special form, and the non-existence of a strong CQLF, for a pair of LTI systems, is characterised by easily verifiable algebraic conditions. These conditions are found to play an important role in provin...

Lyapunov exponents and direction elds are used to characterize the time-scales and geometry of general linear time-varying (LTV) systems of di erential equations. Lyapunov exponents are already known to correctly characterize the time-scales present in a general LTV system; they reduce to real parts of eigenvalues when computed for linear time-invariant(LTI) systems and real parts of Floquet ex...

This work addresses the general problem of resilient control of unknown stochastic linear time-invariant (LTI) systems in the presence of sensor attacks. Motivated by a vehicle cruise control application, this work considers a first order system with multiple measurements, of which a bounded subset may be corrupted. A frequency-domain-designed resilient parameter-invariant controller is introdu...

A common method to determine the order of minimal realization of a continuous linear time invariant descriptor system is to decompose it into slow and fast subsystems using the Weierstrass canonical form. The Weierstrass decomposition should be avoided because it is generally an ill-conditioned problem that requires many complex calculations especially for high-dimensional systems. The present ...

In the previous papers (Pupeikis, 2000; Genov et al., 2006), a direct approach for estimating the parameters of a discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamic system, acting in a closed-loop in the case of additive correlated noise with contaminating outliers uniformly spread in it, is presented. It is assumed here that the parameters of the LQG (Linear Quadratic Gaussian Control) controll...

This paper analyzes the robust feedback stability of a single-input-single-output stable linear time-invariant (LTI) system against three different classes nonlinear systems using Zames–Falb multipliers. The contribution is threefold. Firstly, we identify class uncertain over which equivalent to existence an appropriate multiplier. Secondly, when restricted be static (a.k.a. memoryless), such c...

Robust stabilization of continuous time single-input single-output (SISO) linear time invariant (LTI) systems with multiplicative uncertainties is considered in this paper. In particular, it has been shown that all gains that robustly stabilize a given uncertain SISO LTI system can be found by utilizing a generalization of the Nyquist theorem. The method proposed involves calculation of roots o...

Stability and stabilization analysis of fractional-order linear time-invariant (FO-LTI) systems with different derivative orders is studied in this paper. First, by using an appropriate linear matrix function, a single-order equivalent system for the given different-order system is introduced by which a new stability condition is obtained that is easier to check in practice than the conditions ...

The leader-following consensus of multiple linear time invariant (LTI) systems under switching topology is considered. The leader-following consensus problem consists of designing for each agent a distributed protocol to make all agents track a leader vehicle, which has the same LTI dynamics as the agents. The interaction topology describing the information exchange of these agents is time-vary...

For the first time, in this paper, a stability test procedure is proposed for linear time-invariant fractional order systems (LTI FOS). Paper extends some basic results from the area of finite time and practical stability to linear, continuous, fractional order time invariant time-delay systems given in state space form. Sufficient conditions of this kind of stability, for particular class of f...
