Study on Robust Uniform Asymptotical Stability for Uncertain Linear Impulsive Delay Systems

In the area of control theory the time-delay systems have been investigated. It's well known that delays often result in instability, therefore, stability analysis of time-delay systems is an important subject in control theory. As a result, many criteria for testing the stability of linear time-delay systems have been proposed. Significant progress has been made in the theory of impulsive systems and impulsive delay systems in recent years. However, the corresponding theory for uncertain impulsive systems and uncertain impulsive delay systems has not been fully developed. In this paper, robust stability criteria are established for uncertain linear delay impulsive systems by using Lyapunov function, Razumikhin techniques and the results obtained. Some examples are given to illustrate our theory.

New Asymptotical Stability and Uniformly Asymptotical Stability Theorems for Nonautonomous Difference Equations

New theorems of asymptotical stability and uniformly asymptotical stability for nonautonomous difference equations are given in this paper. The classical Liapunov asymptotical stability theorem of nonautonomous difference equations relies on the existence of a positive definite Liapunov function that has an indefinitely small upper bound and whose variation along a given nonautonomous difference equations is negative definite. In this paper, we consider the case that the Liapunov function is only positive definite and its variation is semi-negative definite. At these weaker conditions, we put forward a new asymptotical stability theorem of nonautonomous difference equations by adding to extra conditions on the variation. After that, in addition to the hypotheses of our new asymptotical stability theorem, we obtain a new uniformly asymptotical stability theorem of nonautonomous difference equations provided that the Liapunov function has an indefinitely small upper bound. Example is given to verify our results in the last.

Stability of Difference Systems with Finite Delay

In this paper, the authors establish some theorems that can ascertain the zero solutions of systemsx(n+1)=f(n,x n)(1)are uniformly stable,asymptotically stable or uniformly asymptotically stable. In the obtained theorems, ΔV is not required to be always negative, where ΔV(n,x n)≡V(n+1,x(n+1)) -V(n,x(n))=V(n+1,f(n,x n))-V(n,x(n)), especially, in Theorem 1, ΔV may be even positive, which greatly improve the known results and are more convenient to use.

PERTURBED PERIODIC SOLUTIONFOR BOUSSINESQ EQUATION

We consider the solution of the good Boussinesq equation Utt -Uxx ＋ Uxxxx = （U2）xx, -∞ 〈 x 〈 ∞, t ≥ 0, with periodic initial value U（x, 0） = ε（μ ＋ φ（x））, Ut（x, 0） = εψ（x）, -∞ 〈 x 〈 ∞, where μ = 0, φ（x） and ψ（x） are 2π-periodic functions with 0-average value in [0, 2π], and ε is small. A two parameter Bcklund transformation is found and provide infinite conservation laws for the good Boussinesq equation. The periodic solution is then shown to be uniformly bounded for all small ε, and the H1-norm is uniformly bounded and thus guarantees the global existence. In the case when the initial data is in the simplest form φ（x） = μ＋a sin kx, ψ（x） = b cos kx, an approximation to the solution containing two terms is constructed via the method of multiple scales. By using the energy method, we show that for any given number T 〉 0, the difference between the true solution u（x, t; ε） and the N-th partial sum of the asymptotic series is bounded by εN＋1 multiplied by a constant depending on T and N, for all -∞ 〈 x 〈 ∞, 0 ≤ ｜ε｜t ≤ T and 0 ≤ ｜ε｜≤ε0.

On a new fractional-order Logistic model with feedback control

In this paper,we formulate and analyze a new fractional-order Logistic model with feedback control,which is different from a recognized mathematical model proposed in our very recent work.Asymptotic stability of the proposed model and its numerical solutions are studied rigorously.By using the Lyapunov direct method for fractional dynamical systems and a suitable Lyapunov function,we show that a unique positive equilibrium point of the new model is asymptotically stable.As an important consequence of this,we obtain a new mathematical model in which the feedback control variables only change the position of the unique positive equilibrium point of the original model but retain its asymptotic stability.Furthermore,we construct unconditionally positive nonstandard finite difference(NSFD)schemes for the proposed model using the Mickens’methodology.It is worth noting that the constructed NSFD schemes not only preserve the positivity but also provide reliable numerical solutions that correctly reflect the dynamics of the new fractional-order model.Finally,we report some numerical examples to support and illustrate the theoretical results.The results indicate that there is a good agreement between the theoretical results and numerical ones.

THE THEOREM OF THE STABILITY OF NONLINEAR NONAUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS UNDER THE FREQUENTLY-ACTING PERTURBATION—LIAPUNOV’S INDIRECT METHOD

In this paper the stability of nonlinear nonautonomous systems under the frequently-acting perturbation is studied. This study is a forward development of the study of the stability in the Liapunov sense; furthermore, it is of significance in practice since perturbations are often not single in the time domain. Malkin proved a general theorem about thesubject. To apply the theorem, however, the user has to construct a Liapunov function which satisfies specified conditions and it is difficult to find such a function for nonlinear nonautonomous systems. In the light of the principle of Liapunov's indirect method, which is an effective method to decide the stability of nonlinear systems in the Liapunov sense, the authors have achieved several important conclusions expressed in the form of theorems to determine the stability of nonlinear nonautonomous systems under the frequently-acting perturbation.

Sufficient conditions of the various stabilities of the linear time-varying delayed differential equations

Due to the appearance and the study of the ornithopter and flexible-wing micro air vehicles, etc., the time-varying systems become more and more important and ubiquitous in the study of the mechanics. In this letter, the sufficient conditions of the uniform asymptotic stability are first presented for the delayed time-varying linear differential equations with any time delay by employing the Dini derivative, Lozinskii measure and the generalized scalar Halanay delayed differential inequality. They are especially based on the estimation of the arbitrary solutions but not the fundamental solution matrix since their solutions＇ space is infinite-dimensional. Then some sufficient conditions of the stability, asymptotic stability and uniform asymptotic stability of the delayed time-varying linear system with a sufficiently small time delay are reported by employing Taylor expansion and Dini derivative. It implies that these stabilities can be guaranteed by the Lozinskii measure of the matrix composing of the time delay and the coefficient matrices of the system.

SINGULAR PERTURBATIONS OF A HIGHER-ORDER SCALAR NONLINEAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

In the present paper, the singular perturbations for the higher-order scalar nonlinear boundary value problem epsilon(2)y(n)=f(t,epsilon y,y',...,y((n-2)),epsilon y((n-1)), t is an element of[0,1] H1(y(0,epsilon),...,y((n-3))(0,epsilon),epsilon y((n-2))(0,epsilon),epsilon y((n-1))(0,epsilon),epsilon)=0, H2(y(0,epsilon),y((n-1))(0,epsilon),y(1,epsilon)...,y((n-1))(1,epsilon),epsilon=0 are studied, where epsilon > 0 is a small parameter, n greater than or equal to 2. Under some mild assumptions, we prove the existence and local uniqueness of the perturbed solution and give out the uniformly valid asymptotic expansions up to its nth-order derivative function by employing the Banach/Picard fixed-point theorem. Then the existing results are extended and improved.

Asymptotic stability analysis of nonlinear real-time networked control systems

The paper deals with the problem of the asymptotic stability for general continuous nonlinear networked control systems （NCSs）. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem combined with improved Razumikhin technique, the sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability for the system are derived. With the proposed method, the estimate of maximum allowable delay bound （MADB） for linear networked control system is also given. Compared to the other methods, the proposed method gives a much less conservative MADB and more general results. Numerical examples and some simulations are worked out to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed method.

SINGULARLY PERTURBED NONLINEAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR A KIND OF VOLTERRA TYPE FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

By employing the theory of differential inequality and some analysis methods, a nonlinear boundary value problem subject to a general kind of second_order Volterra functional differential equation was considered first. Then, by constructing the right_side layer function and the outer solution, a nonlinear boundary value problem subject to a kind of second_order Volterra functional differential equation with a small parameter was studied further. By using the differential mean value theorem and the technique of upper and lower solution, a new result on the existence of the solutions to the boundary value problem is obtained, and a uniformly valid asymptotic expansions of the solution is given as well.

COMMON FIXED POINTS WITH APPLICATIONS TO BEST SIMULTANEOUS APPROXIMATIONS

For a subset K of a metric space （X,d） and x ∈ X,Px（x）={y ∈ K ： d（x,y） = d（x,K）≡ inf{d（x,k） ： k ∈ K}}is called the set of best K-approximant to x. An element go E K is said to be a best simulta- neous approximation of the pair y1,y2 E ∈ if max{d（y1,go）,d（y2,go）}=inf g∈K max {d（y1,g）,d（y2,g）}.In this paper, some results on the existence of common fixed points for Banach operator pairs in the framework of convex metric spaces have been proved. For self mappings T and S on K, results are proved on both T- and S- invariant points for a set of best simultaneous approximation. Some results on best K-approximant are also deduced. The results proved generalize and extend some results of I. Beg and M. Abbas^[1], S. Chandok and T.D. Narang^[2], T.D. Narang and S. Chandok^[11], S.A. Sahab, M.S. Khan and S. Sessa^[14], P.
