Multi-level saturation feedbacks induce nonlinear disturbance-to-state L2 stability for nonlinear systems in feedforward form. This class of systems includes linear systems with actuator constraints.
The leader-following consensus of multiple linear time invariant (LTI) systems under switching topology is considered. The leader-following consensus problem consists of designing for each agent a distributed protocol to make all agents track a leader vehicle, which has the same LTI dynamics as the agents. The interaction topology describing the information exchange of these agents is time-varying. An averaging method is proposed. Unlike the existing results in the literatures which assume the LTI...
This paper studies an LMI optimization problem of delay-dependent robust stability criteria for stochastic systems with polytopic and linear fractional uncertainties. The delay is assumed to be time-varying and belong to a given interval, which means that lower and upper bounds of this interval time-varying delay are available. The uncertainty under consideration includes polytopic-type uncertainty and linear fractional norm-bounded uncertainty. Based on the new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some...
This paper deals with stability analysis of hybrid systems. Various stability concepts related to hybrid systems are introduced. The paper advocates a local analysis. It involves the equivalence relation generated by reset maps of a hybrid system. To establish a tangible method for stability analysis, we introduce the notion of a chart, which locally reduces the complexity of the hybrid system. In a chart, a hybrid system is particularly simple and can be analyzed with the use of methods borrowed...
This paper considers the problem of output control of nonlinear delay systems by means of state delayed feedback. In previous papers, through the use of a suitable formalism, standard output control problems, such as output regulation, trajectory tracking, disturbance decoupling and model matching, have been solved for a class of nonlinear delay systems. However, in general an output control scheme does not guarantee internal stability of the system. Some results on this issue are presented in this...
The paper deals with a specific kind of discrete-time recurrent neural network designed with dynamic neuron models. Dynamics are reproduced within each single neuron, hence the network considered is a locally recurrent globally feedforward. A crucial problem with neural networks of the dynamic type is stability as well as stabilization in learning problems. The paper formulates local stability conditions for the analysed class of neural networks using Lyapunov's first method. Moreover, a stabilization...
This paper is devoted to the study of a coupled system which consists of a wave equation and a heat equation coupled through a transmission condition along a steady interface. This system is a linearized model for fluid-structure interaction introduced by Rauch, Zhang and Zuazua for a simple transmission condition and by Zhang and Zuazua for a natural transmission condition. Using an abstract theorem of Burq and a new Carleman estimate proved near the interface, we complete the results obtained...

We are concerned with a transmission problem for the Kirchhoff plate equation where one small part of the domain is made of a viscoelastic material with the Kelvin-Voigt constitutive relation. We obtain the logarithmic stabilization result (explicit energy decay rate), as well as the wellposedness, for the transmission system. The method is based on a new Carleman estimate to obtain information on the resolvent for high frequency. The main ingredient of the proof is some careful analysis for the...
In this paper, we are interested in a diffusion process based on a gradient descent. The process is non Markov and has a memory term which is built as a weighted average of the drift term all along the past of the trajectory. For this type of diffusion, we study the long time behaviour of the process in terms of the memory. We exhibit some conditions for the long-time stability of the dynamical system and then provide, when stable, some convergence properties of the occupation measures and of the...
