This paper proposes a novel approach based on Lyapunov function method to analyse the stability of photovoltaic (PV) systems. The Lyapunov function is formulated using the method of quadratic forms, i.e., Krasovskii’s method. The stability of the photovoltaic systems under different operating conditions is analysed based on the formulated Lyapunov function. A comparison of stability analysis us...

This paper presents a deterministic linear time complexity IDE-SimRank method to approximately compute SimRank with proved error bound. SimRank is a well-known similarity measure between graph vertices which relies on graph topology only and is built on intuition that ”two objects are similar if they are related to similar objects”. The fixed point equation for direct SimRank computation is the...

In [3] Conley showed that the state-space of a dynamical system can be decomposed into a gradient-like part and a chain-recurrent part, and that this decomposition is characterized by a so-called complete Lyapunov function for the system. In [14] Kalies, Mischaikow, and VanderVorst proposed a combinatorial method to compute discrete approximations to such complete Lyapunov functions. Their appr...

The application of the direct Lyapunov method to the stability analysis of neutral systems with timevarying delays usually encounters a restrictive assumption on the function in the right side of the differential equation. This function is supposed to satisfy the Lipschitz condition with respect to the delayed state derivative with a constant less than 1. In the present paper, we extend the inp...

In several relevant applications to the solution of signal processing tasks in real time, a cellular neural network (CNN) is required to be convergent, that is, each solution should tend toward some equilibrium point. The paper develops a Lyapunov method, which is based on a generalized version of LaSalle’s invariance principle, for studying convergence and stability of the differential inclusi...

We present a method of approximating the unique invariant measure and associated Lyapunov exponents of a random dynamical system deened by the iid composition of a family of maps in situations where only one Lyapunov exponent is observed. As a corollary, our construction also provides a method of estimating the top Lyapunov exponent of an iid random matrix product. We develop rigorous numerical...

this paper presents a stable new algorithm for force/position control in robot manipulators. in this algorithm, position vectors are measured by sensors and then used in the control law. since using force sensor has some issues such as high costs and technical problems, an approach is presented to overcome these issues. in this respect, force sensor is replaced by an adaptive fuzzy estimator to...

We provide a new proof of the theorem of Simon and Zhu that in the region |E| < λ for a.e. energies, − d2 dx2 + λ cos(xα), 0 < α < 1 has Lyapunov behavior with a quasi-classical formula for the Lyapunov exponent. We also prove Lyapunov behavior for a.e. E ∈ [−2, 2] for the discrete model with V (j2) = ej , V (n) = 0 if n / ∈ {1, 4, 9, . . . }. The arguments depend on a direct analysis of the eq...
