This paper introduces the notion of Lipschitz stability for nonlinear th order 8 matrix Lyapunov differential systems and gives sufficient conditions for Lipschitz stability. We develop variation of parameters formula for the solution of the nonhomogeneous nonlinear th order matrix Lyapunov differential system. We 8 study observability and controllability of a special system of th order nonline...

This survey addresses stability analysis for stochastic hybrid systems (SHS), which are dynamical systems that combine continuous change and instantaneous change and that also include random effects. We reemphasize the common features found in most of the models that have appeared in the literature, which include stochastic switched systems, Markov jump systems, impulsive stochastic systems, sw...

Recently it has been shown that the conventional notions of stability in the sense of Lyapunov and asymptotic stability can be used to characterize the stability properties of a class of “logical” discrete event systems (DES). Moreover, it has been shown that stability analysis via the choice of appropriate Lyapunov functions can be used for DES and can be applied to several DES applications in...

Stability of fractional-order nonlinear dynamic systems is studied using Lyapunov direct method with the introductions of Mittag–Leffler stability and generalized Mittag–Leffler stability notions. With the definitions of Mittag–Leffler stability and generalized Mittag–Leffler stability proposed, the decaying speed of the Lyapunov function can bemore generally characterized which include the exp...

Stability properties (uniform stability/uniform asymptotic stability) of nonlinear time-varying systems are explored using positive semi-definite time-varying Lyapunov candidates whose derivative along trajectories is either non-positive or negative semi-definite. Once these positive semi-definite time-varying Lyapunov candidates are available, conditional stability properties on some specific ...

In this paper, we consider the uniform asymptotic stability, global asymptotic stability and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point of discrete Hopfield neural networks with delays. Some new stability criteria for system are derived by using the Lyapunov functional method and the linear matrix inequality approach, for estimating the upper bound of Lyapunov functional derivative. ...

In this paper, we shall present sufficient conditions for the ψ-exponential stability of a class of nonlinear impulsive differential equations. We use the Lyapunov method with functions that are not necessarily differentiable. In the last section, we give some examples to support our theoretical results. Keywords—Exponential stability, globally exponential stability, impulsive differential equa...

The paper relates set-valued Lyapunov functions to pointwise asymptotic stability in systems described by a difference inclusion. Pointwise asymptotic stability of a set is a property which requires that each point of the set be Lyapunov stable and that every solution to the inclusion, from a neighborhood of the set, be convergent and have the limit in the set. Weak set-valued Lyapunov function...
