Absolute stability results for well-posed infinite-dimensional systems with applications to low-gain integral control
Absolute stability results for well-posed infinite-dimensional systems with applications to low-gain integral control
We derive absolute stability results for well-posed infinite-dimensional systems which, in a sense, extend the well-known circle criterion to the case that the underlying linear system is the series interconnection of an exponentially stable well-posed infinite-dimensional system and an integrator and the nonlinearity ϕ satisfies a sector condition of the form (ϕ(u),ϕ(u) - au) ≤ 0 for some constant a>0. These results are used to prove convergence and stability properties of low-gain integral...

Circle criterion and boundary control systems in factor form: input-output approach
A circle criterion is obtained for a SISO Lur’e feedback control system consist- ing of a nonlinear static sector-type controller and a linear boundary control system in factor form on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert state space H previ- ously introduced by the authors (Grabowski and Callier, 1999). It is assumed for the latter that (a) the observation functional is infinite-time admissible, (b) the factor control vector satisfies a compatibility condition, and (c) the trans- fer function belongs...

Control of distributed delay systems with uncertainties: a generalized Popov theory approach
The paper deals with the generalized Popov theory applied to uncertain systems with distributed time delay. Sufficient conditions for stabilizing this class of delayed systems as well as for -attenuation achievement are given in terms of algebraic properties of a Popov system via a Liapunov–Krasovskii functional. The considered approach is new in the context of distributed linear time-delay systems and gives some interesting interpretations of memoryless control problems in terms of Popov triplets...
Factorization of the Popov function of a multivariable linear distributed parameter system in the non-coercive case: a penalization approach
We study the construction of an outer factor to a positive definite Popov function of a distributed parameter system. We assume that is a non-negative definite matrix with non-zero determinant. Coercivity is not assumed. We present a penalization approach which gives an outer factor just in the case when there exists any outer factor.
Guest editorial introduction to the two special issues on advances in analysis and control of time-delay systems
Integral control of infinite-dimensional systems in the presence of hysteresis: an input-output approach
This paper is concerned with integral control of systems with hysteresis. Using an input-output approach, it is shown that application of integral control to the series interconnection of either (a) a hysteretic input nonlinearity, an L2-stable, time-invariant linear system and a non-decreasing globally Lipschitz static output nonlinearity, or (b) an L2-stable, time-invariant linear system and a hysteretic output nonlinearity, guarantees, under certain assumptions, tracking of constant reference...
Nonnegativity of uncertain polynomials.
On generalized Popov theory for delay systems
This paper focuses on the Popov generalized theory for a class of some linear systems including discrete and distributed delays. Sufficient conditions for stabilizing such systems as well as for coerciveness of an appropriate quadratic cost are developed. The obtained results are applied for the design of a memoryless state feedback control law which guarantees the (exponential) closed-loop stability with an norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation. Note that the proposed results extend...

On the state observation and stability for uncertain nonlinear systems
In this paper, we treat the class of nonlinear uncertain dynamic systems that was considered in [3,2,1,4]. We consider continuous-time dynamical systems whose nominal part is linear and whose uncertain part is norm-bounded. We study the problems of state observation and obtaining stabilizing controller for uncertain nonlinear systems, where the uncertainties are characterized by known bounds.

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 stability of non linear time varying systems
Systems with time-varying non-linearity confined to a given sector (Luré type) and a linear part with uncertainty formulated by an interval transfer function, are considered. Sufficient conditions satisfying the Popov criterion for stability, which are computationally tractable, are derived. The problem of checking the Popov criterion for an infinite set of systems, is reduced to that of checking the Popov criterion for a finite number of fixed coefficient systems, each in a prescribed frequency...
Stability Analysis of Cell Dynamics in Leukemia
In order to better understand the dynamics of acute leukemia, and in particular to find theoretical conditions for the efficient delivery of drugs in acute myeloblastic leukemia, we investigate stability of a system modeling its cell dynamics. The overall system is a cascade connection of sub-systems consisting of distributed delays and static nonlinear feedbacks. Earlier results on local asymptotic stability are improved by the analysis of the linearized...
Stability and sliding modes for a class of nonlinear time delay systems
The following time delay system is considered, where may have discontinuities, in particular at the origin. The solution is defined using the “redefined nonlinearity” concept. For such systems sliding modes are discussed and a frequency domain inequality for global asymptotic stability is given.
