Algebraic theory of discrete optimal control for multivariable systems [II.]
A class of nonautonomous discrete logistic single-species systems with time-varying pure-delays and feedback control is studied. By introducing a new research method, almost sufficient and necessary conditions for the permanence and extinction of species are obtained. Particularly, when the system degenerates into a periodic system, sufficient and necessary conditions on the permanence and extinction of species are obtained. Moreover, a very important fact is found in our results, that is, the feedback...
We compare a general controlled diffusion process with a deterministic system where a second controller drives the disturbance against the first controller. We show that the two models are equivalent with respect to two properties: the viability (or controlled invariance, or weak invariance) of closed smooth sets, and the existence of a smooth control Lyapunov function ensuring the stabilizability of the system at an equilibrium.
Contrary to state space systems, there are different notions of controllability for linear time invariant descriptor systems due to the non smooth inputs and inconsistent initial conditions. A comprehensive study of different notions of controllability for linear descriptor systems is performed. Also, it is proved that reachable controllability for general linear time invariant descriptor system is equivalent to the controllability of some matrix pair under an assumption milder than impulse controllability....
