Let ẋ = f(x, u) be a general control system; the existence of a smooth control-Lyapunov function does not imply the existence of a continuous stabilizing feedback. However, we show that it allows us to design a stabilizing feedback in the Krasovskii (or Filippov) sense. Moreover, we recall a definition of a control-Lyapunov function in the case of a nonsmooth function; it is based on Clarke’s g...

Motivated by the fact that delay difference inclusions (DDIs) form a rich modeling class that includes, for example, uncertain time-delay systems and certain types of networked control systems, this paper provides a comprehensive collection of Lyapunov methods for DDIs. Firstly, the Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach, which is an extension of the classical Lyapunov theory to time-delay systems, is co...

In the paper presents a brief survey of some new developments in Lyapunov’s approach including the generalized perturbation equation and its applications; the use of nonanalytic Lyapunov functions; an extension of the Barbashin-Krasovskii theorem related to asymptotic stability assured by a Lyapunov function with nonpositive derivative; the consistency condition for a time-space mosaic that con...

The paper is devoted to stability analysis of discrete-time time-delay systems, obtained after explicit Euler discretization (locally) homogeneous continuous-time models. results are derived by applying the Lyapunov--Krasovskii theory. A generic structure functional given that suits for any system nonzero degree (and it can also be used dynamics admitting a approximation). conditions utilized d...

This contribution is concerned with the robust stability analysis for linear systems with time-varying delay arising from networked control systems. The time-varying delay is supposed to be bounded and fast-varying. By constructing a new complete Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, delay-dependent robust stability conditions are derived in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities. The derivative of the ...

In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy systems subject to uncertain time-delay are addressed. The proposed approach is based on linear matrix inequalities and the Lyapunov–Krasovskii theory, where a new fuzzy weighting-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is introduced. By employing the Gu discretization technique and strategies to add slack mat...

The stability of discrete-time systems with time varying delay in the state can be analyzed by using a discrete-time extension of the classical Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach. In the networked control systems domain a similar delay stability problem is treated using a switched system transformation approach. The paper aims to establish a relation between the switched system transformation approac...

This paper deals with the asymptotic stability of neutral systems with mixed time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional including the triple integral terms and free weighting matrices approach, a novel delay-decomposition stability criterion is obtained. The main idea of the proposed method is to divide each delay interval into two equal segment...
