Hyers-Ulam-Rassias Stability of Functional Differential Systems with Point and Distributed Delays

This paper investigates stability and asymptotic properties of the error with respect to its nominal version of a nonlinear time-varying perturbed functional differential system subject to point, finite-distributed, and Volterra-type distributed delays associated with linear dynamics together with a class of nonlinear delayed dynamics. The boundedness of the error and its asymptotic convergence to zero are investigated with the results being obtained based on the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias analysis

On the boundedness of some nonlinear differential equation of second order

In this paper we study the boundedness of the solutions of some nonlinear dofferential equation using as a key tool the Second Lyapunov method, i.e. find sufficient conditions under which the solutions of this equation are bounded. Variuos particular cases and methodological remarks are included at the end of paper.Fil: Guzmán, Paulo Matias. Universidad Nacional del Nordeste.

Uniform semiglobal practical asymptotic stability for non-autonomous cascaded systems and applications

It is due to the modularity of the analysis that results for cascaded systems have proved their utility in numerous control applications as well as in the development of general control techniques based on ``adding integrators''. Nevertheless, the standing assumptions in most of the present literature on cascaded systems is that, when decoupled, the subsystems constituting the cascade are uniformly globally asymptotically stable (UGAS). Hence existing results fail in the more general case when the subsystems are uniformly semiglobally practically asymptotically stable (USPAS). This situation is often encountered in control practice, e.g., in control of physical systems with external perturbations, measurement noise, unmodelled dynamics, etc. This paper generalizes previous results for cascades by establishing that, under a uniform boundedness condition, the cascade of two USPAS systems remains USPAS. An analogous result can be derived for USAS systems in cascade. Furthermore, we show the utility of our results in the PID control of mechanical systems considering the dynamics of the DC motors.Comment: 16 pages. Modifications 1st Feb. 2006: additional requirement that links the parameter-dependency of the lower and upper bounds on the Lyapunov function, stronger condition of uniform boundedness of solutions, modification and simplification of the proofs accordingl

Ultimate boundedness of droop controlled Microgrids with secondary loops

In this paper we study theoretical properties of inverter-based microgrids controlled via primary and secondary loops. Stability of these microgrids has been the subject of a number of recent studies. Conventional approaches based on standard hierarchical control rely on time-scale separation between primary and secondary control loops to show local stability of equilibria. In this paper we show that (i) frequency regulation can be ensured without assuming time-scale separation and, (ii) ultimate boundedness of the trajectories starting inside a region of the state space can be guaranteed under a condition on the inverters power injection errors. The trajectory ultimate bound can be computed by simple iterations of a nonlinear mapping and provides a certificate of the overall performance of the controlled microgrid.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur
