For stochastic nonlinear systems with time-varying delays, the existing robust control
approaches are unnecessarily conservative in most practical scenarios. Within this context …

In this paper, we study incremental stability of monotone nonlinear systems through
contraction analysis. We provide sufficient conditions for incremental asymptotic stability in …

This article is concerned with the study of scalability in nonlinear heterogeneous networks
affected by communication delays and disturbances. After formalizing the notion of …

In this paper, we study incrementally exponentially stable (IES) image and kernel
representations for nonlinear systems with the aim of generalizing the Youla-Kuc˘ era …

Contraction theory for dynamical systems on Euclidean spaces is well-established. For
contractive (resp. semicontractive) systems, the distance (resp. semidistance) between any …

Gain-scheduled control based on linear parameter-varying (LPV) models derived from local
linearizations is a widespread nonlinear technique for tracking time-varying setpoints …

Nonlinear stabilization using control contraction metric (CCM) method usually involves an
online optimization problem to compute a minimal geodesic (a shortest path) between pair …

This article discusses the construction of a graph model of a relay system of automatic
control. Based on the graph model, relations are derived for calculating transients in a relay …

This article proposes methods for identification of large-scale networked systems with
guarantees that the resulting model will be contracting—a strong form of nonlinear stability …

We consider the problem of designing control protocols for nonlinear network systems
affected by heterogeneous, time-varying delays and disturbances. For these networks, the …
