Many stability results in the theory of stochastic hereditary systems and their applications were obtained by construction of appropriate Lyapunov functionals. One general method of Lyapunov functionals construction was proposed and developed by the authors during last decade for stability investigation of deterministic and stochastic functional-differential and difference equations. In this pa...

BACKGROUND/AIM Pneumocardiography (PNCG) is the recording method of cardiac-induced tracheal air flow and pressure pulsations in the respiratory airways. PNCG signals reflect both the lung and heart actions and could be accurately recorded in spontaneously breathing anesthetized rats. Nonlinear analysis methods, including the Lyapunov exponent, can be used to explain the biological dynamics of ...

In this paper, the C-conforming finite element method is analyzed for a class of nonlinear fourth-order hyperbolic partial differential equation. Some a priori bounds are derived using Lyapunov functional, and existence, uniqueness and regularity for the weak solutions are proved. Optimal error estimates are derived for both semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes. Keywords—Nonlinear fourth-ord...

This paper addresses closed-loop stability analysis of PID controlled local model networks. The proposed method allows to investigate exponential or asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. For this purpose a common quadratic Lyapunov function is used as stability criterion. Due to the fact that the Lyapunov approach requires a state-space model a suitable closed-loop state-space system ...

The general method of Lyapunov functionals construction which was developed during the last decade for stability investigation of stochastic differential equations with aftereffect and stochastic difference equations is considered. It is shown that after some modification of the basic Lyapunov-type theorem, this method can be successfully used also for stochastic difference Volterra equations w...

A new approach for the adaptive algorithm of a fully connected recurrent neural network (RNN) based upon the digital filter theory is proposed. Each recurrent neuron is modeled by using an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. The weights of each layer in the RNN are updated adaptively so that the error between the desired output and the RNN output can converge to zero asymptotically. The pro...

in this paper, stabilization conditions and controller design for a class of nonlinear systems are proposed. the proposed method is based on the nonlinear feedback, quadratic lyapunov function and heuristic slack matrices definition. these slack matrices in null products are derived using the properties of the system dynamics. based on the lyapunov stability theorem and sum of squares (sos) dec...

In this paper, we investigate the leader-following based formation control of nonholonomic mobile robots. We present a new kinematics model for the leader-follower system using Cartesian coordinates. Based on this new model and the direct Lyapunov method, a globally stable controller is derived for the whole system. Simulation results are included to verify the feasibility of the proposed model...

This paper introduces the robust stability of delay Lurie-type neutral control system. A new criterion is presented in term of linear matrix inequalities by using Lyapunov method. Since the criterion takes the size of the neutral and discrete delays into account, it is less conservative than the existing ones. Examples are given to that illustrate the advantage of our approach and reciprocal in...

This paper considers the robust stability analysis problem for a class of uncertain stochastic neural networks with time-varying delay. Based on the Lyapunov functional method, and by resorting to the new technique for estimating the upper bound of the stochastic derivative of Lyapunov functionals, the novel asymptotic stability criteria are obatined in terms of Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs...
