AbstractIt is very difficult to check the observability of nonlinear systems. Even for local observability, the observability rank condition provides only a sufficient condition. Much more difficult is the verification of global observability. This paper deals with the local and global observability analysis of polynomial systems based on algebraic geometry. In particular, we derive a decidable criterion for the verification of global observability of polynomial systems. Our framework can also be employed for local observability analysis.

The problem of switching stabilization for a class of switched positive nonlinear systems (switched positive homogeneous cooperative system (SPHCS) in the continuous-time context and switched positive homogeneous order-preserving system (SPHOS) in the discrete-time context) is studied by using average dwell time (ADT) approach, where the positive subsystems are possibly all unstable. To tackle this problem, a new class of ADT switching is first defined, which is different from the previous defined ADT switching in the literature. Then, the proposed ADT is designed via analyzing the weightedl∞norm of the considered system’s state. A sufficient condition of stabilization for SPHCSs with unstable positive subsystems is derived in continuous-time context. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for SPHOSs under the assumption that all modes are possibly unstable is also obtained. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the advantages and effectiveness of our developed results.

Necessary And Sufficient

Reachable set bounding for homogeneous nonlinear systems with delay and disturbance is studied. By the usage of a new method for stability analysis of positive systems, an explicit necessary and sufficient condition is first derived to guarantee that all the states of positive homogeneous time-delay systems with degree p>1 converge asymptotically within a specific ball. Furthermore, the main result is extended to a class of nonlinear time variant systems. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
