Integral Quadratic Constraints on Linear Infinite-dimensional Systems for Robust Stability Analysis

This paper proposes a framework to assess the stability of an ordinary differential equation which is coupled to a 1D-partial differential equation (PDE). The stability theorem is based on a new result on Integral Quadratic Constraints (IQCs) and expressed in terms of two linear matrix inequalities with a moderate computational burden. The IQCs are not generated using dissipation inequalities involving the whole state of an infinite-dimensional system, but by using projection coefficients of the infinite-dimensional state. This permits to generalize our robustness result to many other PDEs. The proposed methodology is applied to a time-delay system and numerical results comparable to those in the literature are obtained.

Lyapunov Stability Analysis of a Mass-Spring system subject to Friction

This paper deals with the stability analysis of a mass-spring system subject to friction using Lyapunov-based arguments. As the described system presents a stick-slip phenomenon, the mass may then periodically sticks to the ground. The objective consists of developing numerically tractable conditions ensuring the global asymptotic stability of the unique equilibrium point. The proposed approach merges two intermediate results: The first one relies on the characterization of an attractor around the origin, to which converges the closed-loop trajectories. The second result assesses the regional asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point by estimating its basin of attraction. The main result relies on conditions allowing to ensure that the attractor issued from the first result is included in the basin of attraction of the origin computed from the second result. An illustrative example draws the interest of the approach.

Wirtinger-based Exponential Stability for Time-Delay Systems

This paper deals with the exponential stabilization of a time-delay system with an average of the state as the output. A general stability theorem with a guaranteed exponential decay-rate based on a Wirtinger-based inequality is provided. Variations of this theorem for synthesis of a controller or for an observer-based control is derived. Some numerical comparisons are proposed with existing theorems of the literature and comparable results are obtained but with an extension to stabilization.
