We address the problem of asymptotic stability and region-of-attraction analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. A hybrid symbolic-numeric method is presented to compute exact Lyapunov functions and exact estimates of regions of attraction of nonlinear systems efficiently. A numerical Lyapunov function and an estimate of region of attraction can be obtained by solving an (bilinear) SOS programming via BMI solver, then the modified Newton refinement and rational vector recovery techniques are applied to obtain exact Lyapunov functions and verified estimates of regions of attraction with rational coefficients. Experiments on some benchmarks are given to illustrate the efficiency of our algorithm.

State observers for systems having Lipschitz nonlinearities are considered for what concerns the stability of the estimation error by means of a decomposition of the dynamics of the error into the cascade of two systems. First, conditions are established in order to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the estimation error in a noise-free setting. Second, under the effect of system and measurement disturbances regarded as unknown inputs affecting the dynamics of the error, the proposed observers provide an estimation error that is input-to-state stable with respect to these disturbances. Lyapunov functions and functionals are adopted to prove such results. Third, simulations are shown to confirm the theoretical achievements and the effectiveness of the stability conditions we have established.

Chaotic phenomena and presence of complexity in various nonlinear dynamical systems extensively discussed in the context of recent researches. Discrete as well as continuous dynamical systems both considered here. Visualization of regularity and chaotic motion presented through bifurcation diagrams by varying a parameter of the system while keeping other parameters constant. In the processes, some perfect indicator of regularity and chaos discussed with appropriate examples. Measure of chaos in terms of Lyapunov exponents and that of complexity as increase in topological entropies discussed. The methodology to calculate these explained in details with exciting examples. Regular and chaotic attractors emerging during the study are drawn and analyzed. Correlation dimension, which provides the dimensionality of a chaotic attractor discussed in detail and calculated for different systems. Results obtained presented through graphics and in tabular form. Two techniques of chaos control, pulsive feedback control and asymptotic stability analysis, discussed and applied to control chaotic motion for certain cases. Finally, a brief discussion held for the concluded investigation.

The paper presents the concept of recursive Lyapunov function. The concept is applied to investigation of asymptotic stability problem of autonomous systems. The sequence of functions {Uα(i)} and corresponding performance measures λ(i) are introduced. It is proven that λ(i+1) ≤ λ(i) and in most cases the inequality is a strong one. This fact leads to a concept of a recursive Lyapunov function. For the very important applications case of exponential stability the procedure is effective under very weak conditions imposed on the function V = U(0). The procedure may be particularly applicable for the systems dependent on parameters, when the Lyapunov function determined from one set of parameters may be employed at the first step of the procedure.

This chapter develops vector dissipativity notions for large-scale nonlinear impulsive dynamical systems. In particular, it introduces a generalized definition of dissipativity for large-scale nonlinear impulsive dynamical systems in terms of a hybrid vector dissipation inequality involving a vector hybrid supply rate, a vector storage function, and an essentially nonnegative, semistable dissipation matrix. The chapter also defines generalized notions of a vector available storage and a vector required supply and shows that they are element-by-element ordered, nonnegative, and finite. Extended Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov conditions, in terms of the local impulsive subsystem dynamics and the interconnection constraints, are developed for characterizing vector dissipativeness via vector storage functions for large-scale impulsive dynamical systems. Finally, using the concepts of vector dissipativity and vector storage functions as candidate vector Lyapunov functions, the chapter presents feedback interconnection stability results of large-scale impulsive nonlinear dynamical systems.
