On the relation of delay equations to first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations

Iasson KarafyllisMiroslav Krstic — 2014

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper establishes the equivalence between systems described by a single first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation and systems described by integral delay equations. System-theoretic results are provided for both classes of systems (among them converse Lyapunov results). The proposed framework can allow the study of discontinuous solutions for nonlinear systems described by a single first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation under the effect of measurable inputs acting on...

Control Lyapunov functions and stabilization by means of continuous time-varying feedback

Iasson KarafyllisJohn Tsinias — 2009

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

For a general time-varying system, we prove that existence of an “Output Robust Control Lyapunov Function” implies existence of continuous time-varying feedback stabilizer, which guarantees output asymptotic stability with respect to the resulting closed-loop system. The main results of the present work constitute generalizations of a well known result due to Coron and Rosier [J. Math. Syst. Estim. Control 4 (1994) 67–84] concerning stabilization of autonomous systems by means of time-varying periodic...

Necessary and sufficient Lyapunov-like conditions for robust nonlinear stabilization

Iasson KarafyllisZhong-Ping Jiang — 2010

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this work, we propose a methodology for the expression of necessary and sufficient Lyapunov-like conditions for the existence of stabilizing feedback laws. The methodology is an extension of the well-known Control Lyapunov Function (CLF) method and can be applied to very general nonlinear time-varying systems with disturbance and control inputs, including both finite and infinite-dimensional systems. The generality of the proposed methodology is also reflected upon by the fact that partial...
