Realization theory methods for the stability investigation of nonlinear infinite-dimensional input-output systems
Realization theory for linear input-output operators and frequency-domain methods for the solvability of Riccati operator equations are used for the stability and instability investigation of a class of nonlinear Volterra integral equations in a Hilbert space. The key idea is to consider, similar to the Volterra equation, a time-invariant control system generated by an abstract ODE in a weighted Sobolev space, which has the same stability properties as the Volterra equation.

Robust hierarchical sliding mode control with state-dependent switching gain for stabilization of rotary inverted pendulum
The rotary inverted pendulum (RIP) system is one of the fundamental, nonlinear, unstable and interesting benchmark systems in the field of control theory. In this paper, two nonlinear control strategies, namely hierarchical sliding mode control (HSMC) and decoupled sliding mode control (DSMC), are discussed to address the stabilization problem of the RIP system. We introduced HSMC with state-dependent switching gain for stabilization of the RIP system. Numerical simulations are performed to analyze...

Simple environment for developing methods of controlling chaos in spatially distributed systems
The paper presents a simple mathematical model called a coupled map lattice (CML). For some range of its parameters, this model generates complex, spatiotemporal behavior which seems to be chaotic. The main purpose of the paper is to provide results of stability analysis and compare them with those obtained from numerical simulation. The indirect Lyapunov method and Lyapunov exponents are used to examine the dependence on initial conditions. The net direction phase is introduced to measure the symmetry...
Sliding-mode pinning control of complex networks
In this paper, a novel approach for controlling complex networks is proposed; it applies sliding-mode pinning control for a complex network to achieve trajectory tracking. This control strategy does not require the network to have the same coupling strength on all edges; and for pinned nodes, the ones with the highest degree are selected. The illustrative example is composed of a network of 50 nodes; each node dynamics is a Chen chaotic attractor. Two cases are presented. For the first case the...

Special issue on decentralized control of large scale complex systems
This special issue provides information on current and future research directions in the emerging field of Decentralized Control of Large Scale Complex Systems. There is generally adopted view that a dynamic system is large scale complex whenever it is necessary to partition its analysis or synthesis problem to manageable subproblems. Its fundamental characteristics in modeling and control are high dimensionality, uncertainty, information structure constraints, and delays. Theory of large scale...

Stability analysis and synthesis of systems subject to norm bounded, bounded rate uncertainties
In this paper we consider a linear system subject to norm bounded, bounded rate time-varying uncertainties. Necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stability and stabilizability of such class of uncertain systems are well known in the literature. Quadratic stability guarantees exponential stability in presence of arbitrary time-varying uncertainties; therefore it becomes a conservative approach when, as it is the case considered in this paper, the uncertainties are slowly-varying in time....

Stability analysis of a three-dimensional energy demand-supply system under delayed feedback control
This paper considers a three-dimensional energy demand-supply system which typically demonstrates the relationship between the amount of energy supply and that of energy demand for the two regions in China. A delayed feedback controller is proposed to stabilize the system which was originally unstable even under some other controllers. The stability properties of the equilibrium points are subsequently analyzed and it is found that the Hopf bifurcation appears under some conditions. By using the...

Stability and boundedness of controllable continuous flows
In the paper the concept of a controllable continuous flow in a metric space is introduced as a generalization of a controllable system of differential equations in a Banach space, and various kinds of stability and of boundedness of this flow are defined. Theorems stating necessary and sufficient conditions for particular kinds of stability and boundedness are formulated in terms of Ljapunov functions.
