Stability analysis of 2D Roesser systems via vector Lyapunov functions ?

The paper gives new results that contribute to the development of a stability theory for 2D nonlinear discrete and differential systems described by a state-space model of the Roesser form using an extension of Lyapunov’s method. One of the main difficulties in using such an approach is that the full derivative or its discrete counterpart along the trajectories cannot be obtained without explic...

construction of vector fields with positive lyapunov exponents

in this thesis our aim is to construct vector field in r3 for which the corresponding one-dimensional maps have certain discontinuities. two kinds of vector fields are considered, the first the lorenz vector field, and the second originally introced here. the latter have chaotic behavior and motivate a class of one-parameter families of maps which have positive lyapunov exponents for an open in...

Review on computational methods for Lyapunov functions

Lyapunov functions are an essential tool in the stability analysis of dynamical systems, both in theory and applications. They provide sufficient conditions for the stability of equilibria or more general invariant sets, as well as for their basin of attraction. The necessity, i.e. the existence of Lyapunov functions, has been studied in converse theorems, however, they do not provide a general...

On Lyapunov functions and data-driven dissipativity

Our contribution in this paper is twofold. In the first part, we study Lyapunov functions when a plant is interconnected with a dissipative stabilizing controller. In the second, we present results on data-driven approach to dissipative systems. In particular, we provide conditions under which an observed trajectory can be used to determine whether a system is dissipative with respect to a give...
