Generalized persistency of excitation.
In practice, one is not only interested in the qualitative characterizations provided by the Lyapunov stability, but also in quantitative information concerning the system behavior, including estimates of trajectory bounds, possibly over finite time intervals. This type of information has been ascertained in the past in a systematic manner using the concept of practical stability. In the present paper, we give a new definition of generalized practical stability (abbreviated as GP-stability) and...
This paper is concerned with an SIR model with periodic incidence rate and saturated treatment function. Under proper conditions, we employ a novel argument to establish a criterion on the global exponential stability of positive periodic solutions for this model. The result obtained improves and supplements existing ones. We also use numerical simulations to illustrate our theoretical results.
In this paper, we investigate the problem of stability of linear time-varying singular systems, which are transferable into a standard canonical form. Sufficient conditions on exponential stability and practical exponential stability of solutions of linear perturbed singular systems are obtained based on generalized Gronwall inequalities and Lyapunov techniques. Moreover, we study the problem of stability and stabilization for some classes of singular systems. Finally, we present a numerical example...
