New Approach to the Stability of Chemical Reaction Networks: Piecewise Linear in Rates Lyapunov Functions [PDF]
Piecewise-Linear in Rates (PWLR) Lyapunov functions are introduced for a class of Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs). In addition to their simple structure, these functions are robust with respect to arbitrary monotone reaction rates, of which mass-action is a special case.

Bias‐Aware Inference in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs
We propose new confidence sets (CSs) for the regression discontinuity parameter in fuzzy designs. Our CSs are based on local linear regression, and are bias‐aware, in the sense that they take possible bias explicitly into account. Their construction shares similarities with that of Anderson–Rubin CSs in exactly identified instrumental variable models ...

Lyapunov Functions in Piecewise Linear Systems: From Fixed Point to Limit Cycle [PDF]
This paper provides a first example of constructing Lyapunov functions in a class of piecewise linear systems with limit cycles. The method of construction helps analyze and control complex oscillating systems through novel geometric means. Special attention is stressed upon a problem not formerly solved: to impose consistent boundary conditions on the

Bearing‐based formation stabilization using event‐triggered control
Abstract This article studies two distributed bearing‐based event‐triggered schemes to achieve formation stabilization. We focus on systems with double‐integrator dynamics with bearings sensing capabilities. Firstly, we propose a bearing‐only event‐triggered condition (ETC) that is edge‐dependent which drives the control updates of the agents using ...

Learning Lyapunov Functions for Hybrid Systems [PDF]
We propose a sampling-based approach to learn Lyapunov functions for a class of discrete-time autonomous hybrid systems that admit a mixed-integer representation. Such systems include autonomous piecewise affine systems, closed-loop dynamics of linear systems with model predictive controllers, piecewise affine/linear complementarity/mixed-logical ...

Small‐gain based stabilizing control for hybrid systems: Application to bipedal walking robot
This paper presents a systematic methodology for developing a stabilizing controller for hybrid systems. The approach is based on utilizing the small‐gain theorem as a means of constructing the Lyapunov function. A dynamic control system is proposed such that satisfies the closed‐loop stability conditions.

Fault estimation for nonlinear uncertain time‐delay systems based on unknown input observer
In this paper, a novel nonlinear unknown input observer is proposed in order to fault estimation for nonlinear uncertain systems with time delays. The time delay is considered a constant and known parameter in the states. The disturbances are investigated in the states and outputs and also, and sensor and actuator faults are considered.

Lyapunov exponents of a class of piecewise continuous systems of fractional order [PDF]
In this paper, we prove that a class of autonomous piecewise continuous systems of fractional order has well-defined Lyapunov exponents. For this purpose, based on some known results from differential inclusions of integer and fractional order and differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side, the associated discontinuous initial value ...

On the Hausdorff Dimension of Piecewise Hyperbolic Attractors [PDF]
We study non-invertible piecewise hyperbolic maps in the plane. The Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is calculated in terms of the Lyapunov exponents, provided that the map satisfies a transversality condition. Explicit examples of maps for which this condition holds are given.
