Stability of motion of linear systems relative to some of the variables

Using the method of Lyapunov functions, we obtain the sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of linear systems with constant coefficients, with respect to some of the variables.     

On stability of interconnected finite difference systems

We give a method of construction of Lyapunov functions in the form of a linear form with respect to moduli of variables, for which there exist Krasovskii constants in the case of asymptotic stability, for linear systems with constant coefficients and some types of nonlinear systems of finite-difference equations. An application of the above functions as components of a vector Lyapunov function allowed us to obtain conditions on asymptotic stability for interrelated finite-difference systems.Translated from Dinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 8, pp. 68–71, 1989.     

Invariant manifolds in the Clebsch–Tisserand–Brun problem

A series of new invariant manifolds of various dimensions is obtained in Clebsch–Tisserand–Brun problems using a certain modification of the Routh–Lyapunov procedure, and their stability, including their stability with respect to a part of the variables, is investigated. Cases of asymptotic stability of equilibrium positions on one-dimensional invariant manifolds are presented, and the consequences of this fact for the original system are indicated.     

Problems of the partial stability and detectability of dynamical systems

The conditions under which uniform stability (uniform asymptotic stability) with respect to a part of the variables of the zero equilibrium position of a non-linear non-stationary system of ordinary differential equations signifies uniform stability (uniform asymptotic stability) of this equilibrium position with respect the other, larger part of the variables, which include an additional group of coordinates of the phase vector, are established. These conditions include the condition for uniform asymptotic stability of the zero equilibrium position of the “reduced” subsystem of the original system with respect to the additional group of variables. Since within the conditions obtained the stability with respect to the remaining unmeasured coordinates of the phase vector remains undetermined or is investigated additionally, partial zero-detectability of the original system occurs in this case, and the conditions obtained supplement the series of known results from partial stability theory. The application of the results obtained to problems of the partial stabilization of non-linear controlled systems, particularly to the problem of stabilizing an asymmetric rigid body relative to an assigned direction in an inertial space, is considered. The partial detectability of linear systems with constant coefficients is also investigated.

Forced oscillations of a non-linear system with a repulsive positional force

Non-linear systems with one degree of freedom, in which the positional force is directed away from the equilibrium position of the system, are considered. The existence of forced periodic oscillations, their Lyapunov stability, and the behaviour of amplitude-frequency characteristics are investigated. It is shown that stable periodic oscillations are possible in the case when the positional force has non-monotonic properties. Forced oscillations of a pendulum with respect to the upper equilibrium position are considered as an example.     

On the practical global uniform asymptotic stability of stochastic differential equations

The method of Lyapunov functions is one of the most effective ones for the investigation of stability of dynamical systems, in particular, of stochastic differential systems. The main purpose of the paper is the analysis of the stability of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) by using Lyapunov functions when the origin is not necessarily an equilibrium point. The global uniform boundedness and the global practical uniform exponential stability of solutions of SDEs based on Lyapunov techniques are investigated. Furthermore, an example is given to illustrate the applicability of the main result.     

Stability of solutions of pseudolinear differential equations with impulse action

In this paper, we develop a new approach to constructing piecewise differentiable Lyapunov functions for certain classes of nonlinear differential equations with impulse action. This approach is based on the method of “frozen” coefficients, and the required function is constructed as a pseudoquadratic form. For the case under consideration, stability conditions in the sense of Lyapunov are obtained. The proposed approach can be used to study the stability of the critical equilibrium states of systems of differential equations with impulse action.     

Revised CPA method to compute Lyapunov functions for nonlinear systems

The CPA method uses linear programming to compute Continuous and Piecewise Affine Lyapunov functions for nonlinear systems with asymptotically stable equilibria. In [14] it was shown that the method always succeeds in computing a CPA Lyapunov function for such a system. The size of the domain of the computed CPA Lyapunov function is only limited by the equilibrium?s basin of attraction. However, for some systems, an arbitrary small neighborhood of the equilibrium had to be excluded from the domain a priori. This is necessary, if the equilibrium is not exponentially stable, because the existence of a CPA Lyapunov function in a neighborhood of the equilibrium is equivalent to its exponential stability as shown in [11]. However, if the equilibrium is exponentially stable, then this was an artifact of the method. In this paper we overcome this artifact by developing a revised CPA method. We show that this revised method is always able to compute a CPA Lyapunov function for a system with an exponentially stable equilibrium. The only conditions on the system are that it is C²$C^2$ and autonomous. The domain of the CPA Lyapunov function can be any a priori given compact neighborhood of the equilibrium which is contained in its basin of attraction. Whereas in a previous paper [10] we have shown these results for planar systems, in this paper we cover general n-dimensional systems.     

Stabilization of the stationary motions of non-holonomic mechanical systems

The possible stabilization of the unstable stationary motions of a non-holonomic system is studied from the standpoint of general control theory /1, 2/. As distinct from the case previously considered /3/, when forces of a certain structure are applied with respect to both positional and cyclical coordinates, the stabilization is obtained here by applying control forces only with respect to the cyclical coordinates /4/; the control forces may be applied with respect to some or all of the cyclical coordinates, and depend on the positional coordinates, the velocities, and the corresponding cyclical momenta. It is shown that, just as in the case of holonomic systems /5, 6/, depending on the control properties of the corresponding linear subsystem, the stationary motions, whether stable or unstable, can be stabilized, up to asymptotic stability with respect to all the phase variables, or asymptotic stability with respect to some of the phase variables and stability with respect to the remaining variables. The type of stabilization with respect to the given phase variables depends on the Lyapunov transformations which are needed in order to reduce the critical cases obtained to singular cases /7, 8/.     

Stabilization and Practical Asymptotic Stability of Abstract Differential Equations

This article studies the problem of stabilization of the infinite-dimension time-varying control systems in Hilbert spaces. We consider the problem of practical asymptotic stability with respect to a continuous functional for a class of abstract nonlinear infinite-dimensional processes with multivalued solutions on a metric space when the origin is not an equilibrium point. In the case of the existence of a differentiable Lyapunov functional, we obtain sufficient conditions for the practical stability of continuous semigroups in a Banach space.     

Partial stability analysis of some classes of nonlinear systems

A nonlinear differential equation system with nonlinearities of a sector type is studied. Using the Lyapunov direct method and the comparison method, conditions are derived under which the zero solution of the system is stable with respect to all variables and asymptotically stable with respect to a part of variables. Moreover, the impact of nonstationary perturbations with zero mean values on the stability of the zero solution is investigated. In addition, the corresponding time-delay system is considered for which delay-independent partial asymptotic stability conditions are found. Three examples are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of the obtained results.     

Lyapunov functions of the mechanical energy type

When examining the properties of the stability and asymptotic behaviour of a system a Lyapunov function is often used as the total mechanical energy of the system /1–7/. By analogy with the division of the energy into kinetic and potential energy, it is proposed below to construct a Lyapunov function in the form of the sum of two subsidiary scalar functions, such that its derivative on account of the system is estimated using some kind of function of these subsidiary functions. Generalizing the results /8/, we examine the case when the derivative of the Lyapunov function can also take positive values, and the equation of comparison the emerges from the estimate of the Lyapunov function does not permit a separation of variables. V.V. Rumyantsev's theorem /3/ on the asymptotic stability with respect to the velocities of the equilibrium position of a dissipative mechanical system is generalized on the basis of the results obtained.     

The method of parametric Lyapunov functions for Markov dynamic systems

The notion of parametric Lyapunov function is introduced for Markov dynamic systems. The existence of a function of this kind is shown to be a necessary and sufficient condition for the strong stochastic stability of an equilibrium. In terms of parametric Lyapunov functions, a sufficient criterion is proved for asymptotic strong stochastic stability in the case of Feller Markov chains. Some examples are given showing the efficiency of the method proposed.     

On the estimation of asymptotic stability regions for autonomous nonlinear systems

The problem of computing regions of asymptotic stability forautonomous nolinear systems is reconsidered. A two-step procedureis proposed in which a suitable global Lyapunov function isfirst constructed to prove the system's nonoscillatory behaviour.Subsequently the Lyapunov function is used to compute the initialstates for a trajectory-reversing technique to estimate thesystem's stability boundaries. The method combines computationalefficiency and accuracy in obtaining a close estimate of theexact region of attraction of a stable equilibrium state.

Dynamical stability of an elastic column and the phenomenon of bifurcation

The article studies the stability of rectilinear equilibrium shapes of a non-linear elastic thin rod (column or Timoshenko's beam), the ends of which are pressed. Stability is studied by means of the Lyapunov direct method with respect to certain integral characteristics of the type of norms in Sobolev spaces. To obtain equations of motion, a model suggested in [16] is used. Furta [6] solved the problem of stability for all values of the parameter except bifurcational ones. When values of the system's parameter become bifurcational, the study of stability is more complicated already in a finite-dimensional case. To solve a problem like that, one often has to use a procedure of solving the singularities described in [1], for example. In this paper a change of variables is made which, in fact, is the first step of the procedure mentioned. To prove instability, we use a Chetaev function which can be considered as an infinite-dimensional analogue of functions suggested in [14, 9]. The article also investigates a linear problem on the stability of adjacent shapes of equilibrium when the parameter has supercritical values (post-buckling).
