The main challenge towards the solution of the proposed problem

The already proved Lum–Chua’s conjecture says that a continuous planar piecewise linear differential system with two zones separated by a straight line has at most one limit cycle. In this paper, we provide a new proof by using a novel characterization for Poincaré half-maps in planar linear systems. This proof is very short and straightforward, because this characterization avoids the inherent flaws

By choosing the proper scales, scaled consensus can be induced to synchronization, bipartite consensus or cluster consensus. By defining a continuous communication-free measurement error for the integral-type event-triggered

We propose a compositional approach for constructing abstractions of general Markov decision processes (gMDPs) using approximate probabilistic relations. The abstraction framework is based on the notion of δ-lifted relations, using which one can quantify the distance in probability between the interconnected gMDPs and that of their abstractions. This new approximate relation unifies compositionality

Recent works have shown that the L1 and L∞-gains are natural performance criteria for linear positive systems as they can be exactly characterized by linear programs. Those performance measures have also been extended to linear positive impulsive and switched systems through the concept of hybrid L1×ℓ1-gain. For LTI positive systems, the L∞-gain is known to coincide with the L1-gain of the transposed
