Converse passivity theorems [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Passivity is an imperative concept and a widely utilized tool in the analysis and control of interconnected systems. It naturally arises in the modelling of physical systems involving passive elements and dynamics. While many theorems on passivity are known in the theory of robust control, very few converse passivity results exist.

On Passivity, Feedback Passivity, And Feedback Passivity Over Erasure Network: A Piecewise Affine Approximation Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this paper, we deal with the problem of passivity and feedback passification of smooth discrete-time nonlinear systems by considering their piecewise affine approximations. Sufficient conditions are derived for passivity and feedback passivity. These results are then extended to systems that operate over Gilbert-Elliott type communication channels ...

Krasovskii and Shifted Passivity Based Control [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In this paper, our objective is to develop novel passivity based control techniques by introducing a new passivity concept named Krasovskii passivity. As a preliminary step, we investigate properties of Krasovskii passive systems and establish relations among four relevant passivity concepts including Krasovskii passivity.

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.Elevated angiogenin levels in skeletal muscle are linked to slower disease progression, enhanced regeneration, and vascularization through satellite‐endothelial interaction during myogenesis in ALS. Angiogenin and its tiRNAs may serve as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for ALS.
