Stability analysis of time-varying switched systems via indefinite difference Lyapunov functions

Asymptotic stability of time-varying switched systems is investigated in this paper. The less conservative sufficient criteria for asymptotic stability of time-varying discrete-time switched systems are proposed via common indefinite difference Lyapunov functions and multiple indefinite difference Lyapunov functions introduced in this note, respectively. Common indefinite difference Lyapunov functions can be used to analyze stability of a switched system with asymptotic stable subsystems and arbitrary switching signal. Multiple indefinite difference Lyapunov functions can be used to investigate stability of a switched system with unstable subsystems and a given switching signal. The difference of the proposed Lyapunov function may be positive at some instants for an asymptotically stable subsystem. We compare these main results and illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theorems by three numerical examples.     

Stability analysis of nonautonomous difference systems with delaying arguments

We present sufficient conditions for the stability of the nonautonomous difference system , k∈Z⁺, with m?1, when the (n×n)-matrices Aj(⋅) are slowly varying coefficients. The proposed approach is based on the generalization of the “freezing” method for ordinary differential equations. The stability conditions are formulated in terms of the corresponding Cauchy's function.

Stability in totally nonlinear delay difference equations

In this paper we use fixed point method to prove asymptotic stability results of the zero solution of a nonlinear delay difference equation. An asymptotic stability theorem with a sufficient condition is proved, which improves and generalizes some results due to Raffoul (2006) \cite{r1}, Yankson (2009) \cite{y1}, Jin and Luo (2009) \cite{jin} and Chen (2013) \cite{c}     

Exponential and global stability of nonlinear dynamical systems relative to initial time difference

The exponential and global stability of nonlinear differential dynamical systems with different initial times are investigated. Several criteria for the stability of nonlinear dynamical systems relative to initial time difference are obtained by means of vector Lyapunov functions. The obtained criteria have been applied to a proposed differential dynamic system. The numerical simulation validates our conclusions.

Stability analysis and uniform ultimate boundedness control synthesis for a class of nonlinear switched difference systems

In this paper, we deal with stability analysis of a class of nonlinear switched discrete-time systems. Systems of the class appear in numerical simulation of continuous-time switched systems. Some linear matrix inequality type stability conditions, based on the common Lyapunov function approach, are obtained. It is shown that under these conditions the system remains stable for any switching law. The obtained results are applied to the analysis of dynamics of a discrete-time switched population model. Finally, a continuous state feedback control is proposed that guarantees the uniform ultimate boundedness of switched systems with uncertain nonlinearity and parameters.

Stability of highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic integro-differential delay equations

For the past few decades, the stability criteria for the stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs) have been studied intensively. Most of these criteria can only be applied to delay equations where their coefficients are either linear or nonlinear but bounded by linear functions. Recently, the stability criterion for highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic differential equations is investigated in Fei et al. (2017). In this paper, we investigate a class of highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic integro-differential delay equations (SIDDEs). First, we establish the stability and boundedness of hybrid stochastic integro-differential delay equations. Then the delay-dependent criteria of the stability and boundedness of solutions to SIDDEs are studied. Finally, an illustrative example is provided.     

Stability analysis of set trajectories for families of impulsive equations

In this paper, for a family of impulsive equations, a heterogeneous matrix-valued Lyapunov-like function is considered, the comparison principle is formulated, and stability conditions for the set of stationary solutions are established. In addition, for a class of impulsive equations with uncertain parameters the monotone iterative technique for constructing a set of solutions is adapted.     

Oscillatory and asymptotic behaviour of fourth order nonlinear difference equations

This paper considers a class of fourth order nonlinear difference equations Δ²(r _n Δ²(y _n ) + Δ²(r _n ,f(n,n _n )=0,n ∈N(n ₀) wheref(n, y) may be classified as superlinear, sublinear, strongly superlinear and strongly sublinear. In superlinear and sublinear cases, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the difference equation to admit the existence of nonoscillatory solutions with special asymptotic properties. In strongly superlinear and strongly sublinear cases, sufficient conditions are given for all solutions to be oscillatory. Partially Supported by the National Science Foundation of China

On explicit conditions for the asymptotic stability of linear higher order difference equations

We derive some explicit sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the zero solution in a general linear higher order difference equation, and compare our estimations with other related results in the literature. Our main result also applies to some nonlinear perturbations satisfying a kind of sublinearity condition.

Aggregation and stability analysis of nonlinear complex systems

The problem of stability of large-scale systems in critical cases is investigated. New form of aggregation for essentially nonlinear complex systems is suggested. With the help of this form the sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability are determined. The results obtained are used for the stability analysis of complex systems by the nonlinear approximation and for the investigation of absolute stability conditions for a certain class of nonlinear systems.     

Stability of perturbed switched nonlinear systems with delays

This paper addresses the stability problems of perturbed switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delays. It is assumed that the nominal switched nonlinear system (perturbation-free system) is uniformly exponentially stable and that the perturbations satisfy a linear growth bound condition. It is revealed that there exists an upper bound of perturbation guaranteeing that the perturbed system preserves the stability property of the nominal system, locally or globally, depending on both perturbations and the nominal system itself. An example is provided to illustrate the proposed theoretical results.
