The asymptotic behavior of adaptive systems has been a well researched topic during the last couple of decades, and it is well known that asymptotic tracking can be achieved using the Lyapunov redesign method. However, the transient behavior of the input and output signals can be very oscillatory with significant excursions [1]. There has been a great deal of effort to modify the control archit...

in this paper, we discuss the dynamical properties of a chemical reactor model including lyapunov exponents, bifurcation, stability of equilibrium and chaotic attractors as well as necessary conditions for this system to generate chaos. we study the synchronization of chemical reactors model via sliding mode control scheme. the stability of proposed method is proved by barbalate’s lemma. numeri...

In this paper, under the existence of system uncertainties, external disturbances, and input nonlinearity, global finite time synchronization between two identical attractors which belong to a class of second-order chaotic nonlinear gyros are achieved by considering a method of continuous smooth second-order sliding mode control (HOAMSC). It is proved that the proposed controller is robust to m...

This paper deals with an efficient algorithm for dampers’ viscosity optimization in mechanical systems. Our algorithm optimizes the trace of the solution of the corresponding Lyapunov equation using an iterative method which calculates a low rank Cholesky factor for the solution of the corresponding Lyapunov equation. We have shown that the new algorithm calculates the trace in O(m) flops per i...

We study the stability properties of a class of time-varying nonlinear systems. We assume that nonstrict input-to-state stable (ISS) Lyapunov functions for our systems are given. We posit a mild nondegeneracy condition on our given Lyapunov functions under which strict ISS Lyapunov functions for our systems are also known to exist. However, the known existence result is based on value function ...

The problem of pth mean exponential stability and stabilizability of a class of stochastic nonlinear and bilinear hybrid systems with unstable and stable subsystems is considered. Sufficient conditions for the pth mean exponential stability and stabilizability under a feedback control and stabilizing switching rules are derived. A method for the construction of stabilizing switching rules based...
