In this paper, we introduce an angle notion, called the singular angle, for stable nonlinear systems from an input-output perspective. The proposed system singular angle, based on the angle between $mathcal{L}_2$-signals, describes an upper bound for the rotating effect from the system input to output signals. It is, thus, different from the recently appeared nonlinear system phase which adopts the complexification of real-valued signals using the Hilbert transform. It can quantify the passivity and serve as an angular counterpart to the system $mathcal{L}_2$-gain. It also provides an alternative to the nonlinear system phase. A nonlinear small angle theorem, which involves a comparison of the loop system angle with $pi$, is established for feedback stability analysis. When dealing with multi-input multi-output linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, we further come up with the frequency-wise and $mathcal{H}_infty$ singular angle notions based on the matrix singular angle, and develop corresponding LTI small angle theorems.
Discrete abstractions have become a standard approach to assist control synthesis under complex specifications. Most techniques for the construction of discrete abstractions are based on sampling of both the state and time spaces, which may not be ab
In this paper we propose a novel method to establish stability and, in addition, convergence to a consensus state for a class of discrete-time Multi-Agent System (MAS) evolving according to nonlinear heterogeneous local interaction rules which is not
Recently, there have been efforts towards understanding the sampling behaviour of event-triggered control (ETC), for obtaining metrics on its sampling performance and predicting its sampling patterns. Finite-state abstractions, capturing the sampling
We review selected results related to robustness of networked systems in finite and asymptotically large size regimes, under static and dynamical settings. In the static setting, within the framework of flow over finite networks, we discuss the effec
Kalman filtering has been traditionally applied in three application areas of estimation, state estimation, parameter estimation (a.k.a. model updating), and dual estimation. However, Kalman filter is often not sufficient when experimenting with high
