On the “freezing” method for nonlinear nonautonomous systems with delay.
The unstable properties of the linear nonautonomous delay system , with nonconstant delay , are studied. It is assumed that the linear system is unstable, the instability being characterized by a nonstable manifold defined from a dichotomy to this linear system. The delay is assumed to be continuous and bounded. Two kinds of results are given, those concerning conditions that do not include the properties of the delay function and the results depending on the asymptotic properties of the...
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...
The problems of both single and multiple delays for neutral-type uncertain systems are considered. First, for single neutral time delay systems, based on a Razumikhin-type theorem, some delay-dependent stability criteria are derived in terms of the Lyapunov equation for various classes of model transformation and decomposition techniques. Second, robust control for neutral systems with multiple time delays is considered. Finally, we demonstrate numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness...
We obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of the solutions and the asymptotic behavior of both linear and nonlinear system of differential equations with continuous coefficients and piecewise constant argument.
The aim of this paper is to present sufficient conditions for all bounded solutions of the second order neutral differential equation to be oscillatory and to improve some existing results. The main results are based on the comparison principles.
The Linear-Quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem is studied for a class of first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation models by using a nonlinear infinite-dimensional (distributed parameter) Hilbert state-space description. First the dynamical properties of the linearized model around some equilibrium profile are studied. Next the LQ-feedback operator is computed by using the corresponding operator Riccati algebraic equation whose solution is obtained via a related matrix Riccati differential...
