Critical degeneracy in a nonlinear hyperbolic equation can produce atypical instability

This paper deals with the initial value problem for a semilinear wave equation on a bounded domain and solutions are required to vanish on the boundary of this domain. The essential feature of the situation considered here is that the ellipticity of the sp ...

Stability: a search for structure

Wouter Jongeneel

In this thesis we study stability from several viewpoints. After covering the practical importance, the rich history and the ever-growing list of manifestations of stability, we study the following. (i) (Statistical identification of stable dynamical syste ...

Less Conservatism, Stronger Robustness: Iterative Robust Gain-Scheduled Path Following Control of Autonomous Bus With Unstructured and Changing Dynamics

Denis Gillet, Man Shi, Jianwei Li

Path-following control is a critical technology for autonomous vehicles. However, time-varying parameters, parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, and complicated environments significantly challenge autonomous driving. We propose an iterative rob ...

Data-driven Methods for Control: from Linear to Lifting

Yingzhao Lian

The progress towards intelligent systems and digitalization relies heavily on the use of automation technology. However, the growing diversity of control objects presents significant challenges for traditional control approaches, as they are highly depende ...

Locally active globally stable dynamical systems: Theory, learning, and experiments

Aude Billard, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

State-dependent dynamical systems (DSs) offer adaptivity, reactivity, and robustness to perturbations in motion planning and physical human-robot interaction tasks. Learning DS-based motion plans from non-linear reference trajectories is an active research ...

Long Time Behavior of an Age- and Leaky Memory-Structured Neuronal Population Equation

Valentin Marc Schmutz

We study the asymptotic stability of a two-dimensional mean-field equation, which takes the form of a nonlocal transport equation and generalizes the time-elapsed neuron network model by the inclusion of a leaky memory variable. This additional variable ca ...

Microscopic picture of paraelectric perovskites from structural prototypes

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Michele Kotiuga, Boris Kozinsky

We highlight with first-principles molecular dynamics the persistence of intrinsic < 111 > Ti off-centerings for BaTiO3 in its cubic paraelectric phase. Intriguingly, these are inconsistent with the Pm (3) over barm space group often used to atomistically ...

Neural Energy Casimir Control for Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Muhammad Zakwan, Liang Xu

The energy Casimir method is an effective controller design approach to stabilize port-Hamiltonian systems at a desired equilibrium. However, its application relies on the availability of suitable Casimir and Lyapunov functions, whose computation are gener ...

Nonlinear Transient Stability Analysis of Phased-Locked Loop Based Grid-Following Voltage Source Converters Using Lyapunov’s Direct Method

Alireza Karimi, Behrooz Bahrani

In this paper, using Lyapunov’s stability theorem, the transient stability conditions for a grid-following Voltage Source Converter (VSC) are found. These conditions take into account both the grid specifications and the VSC’s dynamics. The derived conditi ...

High Li-ion conductivity in tetragonal LGPO: A comparative first-principles study against known LISICON and LGPS phases

Nicola Marzari, Giuliana Materzanini, Aris Marcolongo, Leonid Kahle

We highlight fast Li-ion diffusion in hypothetical tetragonal Li10GeP2O12 (LGPO), as a counterpart to the well-known phases of orthorhombic (LISICON) LGPO, thio-LISICON, and tetragonal Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS). We use extended Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics i ...

Buoyancy-driven convection of droplets on hot nonwetting surfaces

François Gallaire, Eunok Yim

The global linear stability of a water drop on hot nonwetting surfaces is studied. The droplet is assumed to have a static shape and the surface tension gradient is neglected. First, the nonlinear steady Boussinesq equation is solved to obtain the axisymme ...

Efficient Learning of a Linear Dynamical System with Stability Guarantees

Daniel Kuhn, Tobias Sutter, Wouter Jongeneel

We propose a principled method for projecting an arbitrary square matrix to the non- convex set of asymptotically stable matrices. Leveraging ideas from large deviations theory, we show that this projection is optimal in an information-theoretic sense and ...

Feedback Control Design Maximizing the Region of Attraction of Stochastic Systems Using Polynomial Chaos Expansion

Petr Listov

A feedback control design is proposed for stochastic systems with finite second moment which aims at maximising the region of attraction of the equilibrium point. Polynomial Chaos (PC) expansions are employed to represent the stochastic closed loop system ...

Topology-Finding of Tensegrity Structures Considering Global Stability Condition

Yafeng Wang

This study proposes a general framework for topology-finding or topology optimization of tensegrity structures. The existing topology-finding formulation of tensegrity structures based on mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) was improved and transformed ...

Bound and Conquer: Improving Triangulation by Enforcing Consistency

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Alireza Ghasemi

We study the accuracy of triangulation in multi-camera systems with respect to the number of cameras. We show that, under certain conditions, the optimal achievable reconstruction error decays quadratically as more cameras are added to the system. Furtherm ...
