Massera type theorem for almost automorphic solutions of functional differential equations of neutral type

In this work, we study the existence of almost automorphic solutions for functional differential equations of neutral type. We prove that the existence of a bounded solution on R⁺ implies the existence of an almost automorphic solution.     

Weak convergence of almost orbits of asymptotically nonexpansive commutative semigroups

We give three equivalent conditions for weak convergence of almost orbits of an asymptotically nonexpansive commutative semigroup acting on a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space whose dual has the Kadec property.     

A Strong Szegö-Widom Limit Theorem for operators with almost periodic diagonal

The classical Strong Szegö-Widom Limit Theorem describes the asymptotic behavior of the determinants of the finite sections PnT(a)Pn of Toeplitz operators, i.e., of operators which have constant entries along each diagonal. We generalize these results to operators which have almost periodic sequences as their diagonals.     

Some generalizations of locally and weakly locally uniformly convex space

In this paper, we prove that strongly convex space and almost locally uniformly rotund space, very convex space and weakly almost locally uniformly rotund space are respectively equivalent. We also investigate a few properties of k-strongly convex space and k-very convex space, and discuss the applications of strongly convex space and very convex space in approximation theory.     

Almost sure exponential stability of backward Euler-Maruyama discretizations for hybrid stochastic differential equations

This is a continuation of the first author’s earlier paper [1] jointly with Pang and Deng, in which the authors established some sufficient conditions under which the Euler-Maruyama (EM) method can reproduce the almost sure exponential stability of the test hybrid SDEs. The key condition imposed in [1] is the global Lipschitz condition. However, we will show in this paper that without this global Lipschitz condition the EM method may not preserve the almost sure exponential stability. We will then show that the backward EM method can capture the almost sure exponential stability for a certain class of highly nonlinear hybrid SDEs.

Stabilization of novel multi-layer networks with noise-based nonlinear superior couplings via aperiodically adaptive intermittent pinning control

In this paper, novel multi-layer networks with superior couplings are proposed firstly which are established on a non-strongly connected digraph. Within the multi-layer networks, a nonlinear coupling based on white noises is introduced, which is the feature of superior couplings. We adopt aperiodically adaptive intermittent pinning control to stabilize the multi-layer networks. An concrete analysis framework about selecting the target vertex of the control is revealed. Aperiodically adaptive intermittent control is employed on the vertex systems of the first layer networks, to achieve the stabilization of the first layer networks, where the couplings of drift terms are treated as negative effects on stabilization. With the help of noise stabilization, the stabilization of the other layers networks is realized based on the stability of the first layer networks and the characteristics of the superior coupling that is based on white noises. By employing graph theory and the Lyapunov method, an almost sure exponential stabilization criterion of the multi-layer networks is acquired. As a subsequent result, the proposed theory is applied to a class of stochastic coupled oscillators with sufficient conditions being given to ensure their stability. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the feasibility of the stated theoretical results.     

Almost global stability of nonlinear switched systems with mode-dependent and edge-dependent average dwell time

It has recently been shown that almost global stability of nonlinear switched systems can be characterized using multiple Lyapunov densities. This has been accomplished for switched systems subject to a minimum dwell time or an average dwell time constraint. In this paper, as an extension of the aforementioned results, we provide a sufficient condition on mode-dependent and edge-dependent average dwell time to ensure almost global stability of a nonlinear switched system. The relations between average dwell time, mode-dependent, and edge-dependent average dwell time have been discussed. The obtained results for nonlinear switched systems imply the existing results for linear switched systems.
