This paper presents a new recursive forwarding method to design control laws that globally asymptotically stabilize strict-feedforward systems, of which Jacobian linearization at the origin might not be stabilizable. At each step, a Lyapunov function is constructed based on a solution of a linear partial differential equation (PDE) or a system of globally asymptotically stable (GAS) ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Optimal and bounded control designs are also addressed. The flexibility of the proposed design is illustrated via five examples.

The Ritz variational method has been applied to the nonlinear partial differential equation to construct a model for travelling wave solution. The spatially periodic trial function was chosen in the form of combination of Jacobian Elliptic functions, with the dependence of its parameters

The most powerful theoretical tool in the solution of the aerodynamic problems of aircraft is the theory of small perturbations, which states that if a wing is thin (or a body slender), and if the incidence is small, then in inviscid flow the fluid velocity at any point can be treated as a small perturbation from the stream velocity. The backbone of our knowledge of the aerodynamics of aircraft is provided by this theory, to which the effects of thick wings and large incidences, and the effect of viscosity, introducing as it does the concept of boundary layers, can be added as additional or correction effects. It is known that at subsonic and again at supersonic speeds, the theory of small perturbations is a linear theory; that is, the assumptions implicit in it lead to a linear partial differential equation for the velocity potential, with linear boundary conditions.

In this paper, an SIQR (Susceptible, Infected, Quarantined, Recovered) epidemic model with vaccination, elimination, and quarantine hybrid strategies is proposed, and the dynamics of this model are analyzed by both theoretical and numerical means. Firstly, the basic reproduction number R 0 , which determines whether the disease is extinct or not, is derived. Secondly, by LaSalles invariance principle, it is proved that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R 0 < 1 , and the disease dies out. By Routh-Hurwitz criterion theory, we also prove that the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the unique endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R 0 > 1 . Thirdly, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, we obtain that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease persists at this endemic equilibrium if it initially exists when R 0 > 1 . Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analysis results.
