Stochastic stability for a model representing the intake manifold pressure of an automotive engine
The paper presents conditions to assure stochastic stability for a nonlinear model. The proposed model is used to represent the input-output dynamics of the angle of aperture of the throttle valve (input) and the manifold absolute pressure (output) in an automotive spark-ignition engine. The automotive model is second moment stable, as stated by the theoretical result—data collected from real-time experiments supports this finding.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

On stochastic stabilization in sample-and-hold sense
Sample-and-hold refers to implementation of control policies in a digital
mode, in which the dynamical system is treated continuous, whereas the control
actions are held constant in predefined time steps. In such a setup, special
attention should be paid to the sample-to-sample behavior of the involved
Lyapunov function. This paper extends on the stochastic stability results
specifically to address for the sample-and-hold mode. We show that if a Markov
policy stabilizes the system in a suitable sense, then it also practically
stabilizes it in the sample-and-hold sense. This establishes a bridge from an
idealized continuous application of the policy to its digital implementation.
The central result applies to dynamical systems described by stochastic
differential equations driven by the standard Brownian motion. Generalizations
are discussed, including the case of non-smooth Lyapunov functions for systems
driven by bounded noise. A brief overview of bounded noise models is given. An
experimental study of mobile robot parking under influence of different noise
levels and sampling times is provided
Nonlinear Systems
Open Mathematics is a challenging notion for theoretical modeling, technical analysis, and numerical simulation in physics and mathematics, as well as in many other fields, as highly correlated nonlinear phenomena, evolving over a large range of time scales and length scales, control the underlying systems and processes in their spatiotemporal evolution. Indeed, available data, be they physical, biological, or financial, and technologically complex systems and stochastic systems, such as mechanical or electronic devices, can be managed from the same conceptual approach, both analytically and through computer simulation, using effective nonlinear dynamics methods. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight papers that show the dynamics, control, optimization and applications of nonlinear systems. This has recently become an increasingly popular subject, with impressive growth concerning applications in engineering, economics, biology, and medicine, and can be considered a veritable contribution to the literature. Original papers relating to the objective presented above are especially welcome subjects. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Stability analysis of discrete and continuous dynamical systems; Nonlinear dynamics in biological complex systems; Stability and stabilization of stochastic systems; Mathematical models in statistics and probability; Synchronization of oscillators and chaotic systems; Optimization methods of complex systems; Reliability modeling and system optimization; Computation and control over networked systems
Stability of stochastic nonlinear systems with state-dependent switching
In this paper, the problem of stability on stochastic systems with state-dependent switching is investigated. To analyze properties of the switched system by means of Itô's formula and Dynkin's formula, it is critical to show switching instants being stopping times. When the given active-region set can be replaced by its interior, the local solution of the switched system is constructed by defining a series of stopping times as switching instants, and the criteria on global existence and stability of solution are presented by Lyapunov approach. For the case where the active-region set can not be replaced by its interior, the switched systems do not necessarily have solutions, thereby quasi-solution to the underlying problem is constructed and the boundedness criterion is proposed. The significance of this paper is that all the results presented depend on some easily-verified assumptions that are as elegant as those in the deterministic case, and the proofs themselves provide design procedures for switching controls. © 1963-2012 IEEE.Zhaojing Wu, Mingyue Cui, Peng Shi and Hamid Reza Karim
