Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimisation for Enlarging the Domain of Attraction of Polynomial Nonlinear Systems

A novel technique for estimating the asymptotic stability region of nonlinear autonomous polynomial systems is established. The key idea consists of examining the optimal Lyapunov function (LF) level set that is fully included in a region satisfying the negative definiteness of its time derivative. The minor bound of the biggest achievable region, denoted as Largest Estimation Domain of Attraction (LEDA), can be calculated through a Generalised Eigenvalue Problem (GEVP) as a quasi-convex Linear Inequality Matrix (LMI) optimising approach. An iterative procedure is developed to attain the optimal volume or attraction region. Furthermore, a Chaotic Particular Swarm Optimisation (CPSO) efficient technique is suggested to compute the LF coefficients. The implementation of the established scheme was performed using the Matlab software environment. The synthesised methodology is evaluated throughout several benchmark examples and assessed with other results of peer technique in the literature.

Asymptotic stability of a full term linear difference equation with two parameters

The paper introduces an efficient form of necessary and sufficient conditions for a special full term linear difference equation with two real parameters to be asymptotically stable. The result is obtained utilizing the Schur Cohn criterion. The asymptotic stability region in the parameters plane is also illustrated in the paper.

Stability Properties of a Discretized Neutral Delay Differential Equation

The paper discusses the asymptotic stability region of a discretization of a linear neutral delay differential equation x′(t) = ax(t - τ) + bx'(t - τ). We present necessary and sufficient conditions specifying this region and describe some of its properties.

Stability investigation of quadratic systems with delay

Systems of differential equations with quadratic right-hand sides with delay are considered in the paper. Compact matrix notation form is proposed for the systems of such type. Stability investigations are performed by Lyapunov's second method with functions of quadratic form. Stability conditions of quadratic systems with delay, uniformly by argument deviation, and with delay depending on the system's parameters are derived. A guaranteed radius of the ball of asymptotic stability region for zero solution is obtained.
