A means is presented for determining stability of linear time-varying systems with one feedback nonlinearity. The stability condition involves the minimization of certain time functions of the system coefficients as well as the imaginary axis behavior of a polynomial. It is required that the equation of the linear time-varying system be asymptotically stable and be in phase variable form. The nonlinearity is restricted to lie in a sector. For the limiting case of an autonomous linear system the criterion reduces to the Popov stability condition in certain cases.

An analytical framework is developed that permits the input-output representations of discrete-time linear time-varying (LTV) systems in terms of biorthogonal bases on compact time intervals. Using these representations, the companion paper, Part II develops computational procedures for rapid identification of fast nonsmooth LTV systems based on short data records. One of the representations proposed is also used in H. Zhao and J. Bentsman, “Block Diagram Reduction of the Interconnected Linear Time-Varying Systems in the Time Frequency Domain,” accepted for publication by Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing to form system interconnections, or wavelet networks, and develop subsystem connectibility conditions and reduction rules. Under the assumption that the inputs and the outputs of the plants considered in the present work belong to lp spaces, where p=2 or p=∞, their impulse responses are shown to belong to Banach spaces. Further on, by demonstrating that the set of all bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stable discrete-time LTV systems is a Banach space, the system representation problem is shown to be reducible to the linear approximation problem in the Banach space setting, with the approximation errors converging to zero as the number of terms in the representation increases. Three types of LTV system representation, based on the input-side, the output-side, and the input-output transformations, are developed and the suitability of each representation for matching a particular type of the LTV system behavior is indicated.

This paper is mainly concerned with asymptotic stability for a class of fractional-order (FO) nonlinear system with application to stabilization of a fractional permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). First of all, we discuss the stability problem of a class of fractional time-varying systems with nonlinear dynamics. By employing Gronwall–Bellman's inequality, Laplace transform and its inverse transform, and estimate forms of Mittag–Leffler (ML) functions, when the FO belongs to the interval (0, 2), several stability criterions for fractional time-varying system described by Riemann–Liouville's definition is presented. Then, it is generalized to stabilize a FO nonlinear PMSM system. Furthermore, it should be emphasized here that the asymptotic stability and stabilization of Riemann–Liouville type FO linear time invariant system with nonlinear dynamics is proposed for the first time. Besides, some problems about the stability of fractional time-varying systems in existing literatures are pointed out. Finally, numerical simulations are given to show the validness and feasibleness of our obtained stability criterions.
