Circuit theory approach to stability and passivity analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems

Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of global asymptotic stability and strong passivity analysis of nonlinear time-varying systems controlled by a secondorder vector differential equation. First, we obtain this equation from a nonlinear time varying network of the circuit theory. Then, we construct the Lyapunov candidate function directly from the physical meaning of the given system. By the way, we review a number of previous results from the point view of Lyapunov's direct method. Our system with its real energy function generalize and improve upon some well-known studies. The new concept facilitates the formulation of the energy (Lyapunov) function from the powerenergy relationship of the given system. Then, we also realized that the time derivative of the Lyapunov function for a given dynamical systems is the negative value of the power dissipated in the system. Therefore, with the proposed approach, one can inspect the result of the time derivative of the energy function for a given physical system. Finally, two examples (one with simulations) are used to illustrate the superiority and validity of the obtained results.

On the global uniform stability analysis of non-autonomous dynamical systems: A survey

“…For time-varying systems, expect for some special cases, the Lasalle invariant principle is either not valid or difficult to use [49]. Hence, some researchers attempt to use the available Lyapunov function, whose time-derivative is not strictly negative definite, to construct a new Lyapunov function whose time-derivative is negative definite ( [1,3,4,34,39]). One could hope that a method for proving the existence of a Lyapunov function might carry with it a constructive method for obtaining this function.…”

Backstepping global and structural stabilization of direct current/direct current boost converter

“…Researchers were mainly interested in the design of the adequate and the effective methods of analysis and control to achieve requirements like stability, 11 performances, and to deal, as well, with physical limitations of the converter elements. To this end, fuzzy logic‐based techniques are used in many works 12,13 and ensured satisfactory results.…”
