In this short report, a new Lyapunov function for the Moog voltage-controlled filter is demonstrated, under zero-input conditions, and under nonlinear autonomous conditions (i.e. when parameters are not time-varying). The new definition allows for a proof of stability over the entire allowable range of parameters (cutoff frequency and resonance), and can be used as a starting point for Hamiltonian-based numerical simulation methods.

We study convergence of nonlinear systems in the presence of an `almost Lyapunov function which, unlike the classical Lyapunov function, is allowed to be nondecreasing---and even increasing---on a nontrivial subset of the phase space. Under the assumption that the vector field is free of singular points (away from the origin) and that the subset where the Lyapunov function does not decrease is sufficiently small, we prove that solutions approach a small neighborhood of the origin. A nontrivial example where this theorem applies is constructed.
We study single-electron charging events in an Al/InAs nanowire hybrid system with deliberately introduced gapless regions. The occupancy of a Coulomb island is detected using a nearby radio-frequency quantum dot as a charge sensor. We demonstrate that a 1 micron gapped segment of the wire can be used to efficiently suppress single electron poisoning of the gapless region and therefore protect the parity of the island while maintaining good electrical contact with a normal lead. In the absence of protection by charging energy, the 1e switching rate can be reduced below 200 per second. In the same configuration, we observe strong quantum charge fluctuations due to exchange of electron pairs between the island and the lead. The magnetic field dependence of the poisoning rate yields a zero-field superconducting coherence length of ~ 90 nm.
We consider the topological behaviors of continuous maps with one topological attractor on compact metric space $X$. This kind of map is a generalization of maps such as topologically expansive Lorenz map, unimodal map without homtervals and so on. We provide a leveled $A$-$R$ pair decomposition for such maps, and characterize $alpha$-limit set of each point. Based on weak Morse decomposition of $X$, we construct a bounded Lyapunov function $V(x)$, which give a clear description of orbit behavior of each point in $X$ except a meager set.
Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group acting on a space $X$, let $mu$ be a compactly supported measure on $G$, and let $A$ be a strongly irreducible linear cocycle over the action of $G$. We then have a random walk on $X$, and let $T$ be the associated shift map. We show that the cocycle $A$ over the action of $T$ is conjugate to a block conformal cocycle. This statement is used in the recent paper by Eskin-Mirzakhani on the classifications of invariant measures for the SL(2,R) action on moduli space. The ingredients of the proof are essentially contained in the papers of Guivarch and Raugi and also Goldsheid and Margulis.
A rigorous proof of a theorem on the coexistence of smooth Lyapunov function and smooth planar dynamical system with one arbitrary limit cycle is given, combining with a novel decomposition of the dynamical system from the perspective of mechanics. We base on this dynamic structure incorporating several efforts of this dynamic structure on fixed points, limit cycles and chaos, as well as on relevant known results, such as Schoenflies theorem, Riemann mapping theorem, boundary correspondence theorem and differential geometry theory, to prove this coexistence. We divide our procedure into three steps. We first introduce a new definition of Lyapunov function for these three types of attractors. Next, we prove a lemma that arbitrary simple closed curve in plane is diffeomorphic to the unit circle. Then, the strict construction of smooth Lyapunov function of the system with circle as limit cycle is given by the definition of a potential function. And then, a theorem is hence obtained: The smooth Lyapunov function always exists for the smooth planar dynamical system with one arbitrary limit cycle. Finally, by discussing the two criteria for system dissipation(divergence and dissipation power), we find they are not equal, and explain the meaning of dissipation in an infinitely repeated motion of limit cycle.
