On Stability Radii of Slowly Time-Varying Systems (original) (raw)

On the stability of certain perturbed systems of differential equations and the relationship with the magnitude of the perturbation

Revista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2010

In this work we consider a class of polytopes of third order square matrices, studied early. We obtain a condition to guarantee Hurwitz stability of each of elements of the polytope. This condition is more simples than one obtained before. Taking into account that to the considered set of matrices correspond a family of perturbed systems of differential equations, we study the relationship between the stability condition and the magnitude of the class of perturbations considered for this family. Resumen En el presente trabajo consideramos una clase de politopos de matrices cuadradas de tercer orden, estudiada anteriormente. Obten-emos una condición para garantizar la estabilidad, según Hurwitz, de cada uno de los elementos del politopo. Dicha condición es más simple que la obtenida con anterioridad. Teniendo en cuenta que al con-junto considerado de matrices corresponde una familia de ecuaciones diferenciales perturbada, estudiamos la relación entre la condición de estabilidad y la magnitud de la clase de perturbaciones considerada para esta familia.

Robustness of stability of time-varying linear systems

Journal of Differential Equations, 1989

This paper introduces the concept of stability radius for time-varying linear systems. Invariance properties of the stability radius are analysed for the group of Bohl transformations. We also explore the relationship between the stability radius, the norm of a certain perturbation operator, and the solvability of a nonstandard differential Riccati equation. As an application we construct robust Lyapunov functions and show how they can be used to analyze robustness with respect to nonlinear perturbations. O 1989 Academic Press, Inc.

Stability of nonlinear systems under constantly acting perturbations

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1995

In this paper, we investigate total stability, attractivity and uniform stability in terms of two measures of nonlinear differential systems under constant perturbations. Some sufficient conditions are obtained using Lyapunov's direct method. An example is also worked out.

Stability of Time Varying Systems

Volume 3A: 15th Biennial Conference on Mechanical Vibration and Noise — Vibration of Nonlinear, Random, and Time-Varying Systems

The stability behavior of time varying systems can be studied using the concept of Lyapunov exponents and their corresponding Lyapunov subspaces. For linear time varying systems the entire Lyapunov spectrum can be approximated by the Floquet exponents of periodic systems. This leads to a variety of stability results, including the characterization of stability radii. Furthermore, a structural stability type theorem shows that stability features of time varying hyperbolic systems persist under small perturbations. For nonlinear time varying systems a stable manifold theorem allows us to interpret the linear results for the nonlinear system locally around an equilibrium point.

A Note on Exponential Stability of Partially Slowly Time-Varying Nonlinear Systems

Consider a system _ x = f(x; t; t ) with a timevarying vector eld which contains a regular and a slow time scale ( large). Assume there exists ( ) such that kx (t; t 0 ; x 0 )k K( )kx 0 ke ( )(t?t0) where x (t; t 0 ; x 0 ) is the solution of the system _ x = f(x; t; ) with initial state x 0 at t 0 . We show that for su ciently large, _ x = f(x; t; t ) is exponentially stable when the average of ( ) is negative. This result can be used to extend the circle criterion i.e. to obtain a su cient condition for exponential stability of a feedback interconnection of a slowly time-varying linear system and a sector nonlinearity. An example is included which shows that the technique can be used to obtain an exponential stability result for a pendulum with a nonlinear partially slowly time-varying friction attaining positive and negative values.
