Stability of Dynamical Systems
In the analysis and synthesis of contemporary systems, engineers and scientists are
frequently confronted with increasingly complex models that may simultaneously
include components whose states evolve along continuous time (continuous dynamics) and discrete instants (discrete dynamics); components whose descriptions
may exhibit hysteresis nonlinearities, time lags or transportation delays, lumped
parameters, spatially distributed parameters, uncertainties in the parameters, and
the like; and components that cannot be described by the usual classical equations (ordinary differential equations, difference equations, functional differential
equations, partial differential equations, and Volterra integrodifferential equations),
as in the case of discrete-event systems, logic commands, Petri nets, and the
like. The qualitative analysis of systems of this type may require results for
finite-dimensional systems as well as infinite-dimensional systems, continuoustime systems as well as discrete-time systems, continuous continuous-time systems
as well as discontinuous continuous-time systems (DDS), and hybrid systems
involving a mixture of continuous and discrete dynamics.
