Recently, k-contraction has been proposed as a generalization of contraction properties for nonlinear time-variant systems. Existing tools for k-contraction analysis exploit complex …
In this paper, we study the notion of incremental stability for continuous-time nonlinear systems forced by some external input. Thanks to the notion of “Killing vector field”, we …
In this article, we provide a novel and broadly-applicable contraction-theoretic approach to continuous-time time-varying convex optimization. For any parameter-dependent contracting …
The design of fixed point algorithms is at the heart of monotone operator theory, convex analysis, and of many modern optimization problems arising in machine learning and …
Critical questions in dynamical neuroscience and machine learning are related to the study of recurrent neural networks and their stability, robustness, and computational efficiency …
The celebrated S-Lemma was originally proposed to ensure the existence of a quadratic Lyapunov function in the Lur'e problem of absolute stability. A quadratic Lyapunov function …
A standard assumption in control of network dynamical systems is that its nodes interact through pairwise interactions, which can be described by means of a directed graph …
This paper synthesizes anytime algorithms, in the form of continuous-time dynamical systems, to solve monotone variational inequalities. We introduce three algorithms that solve …
We derive a sufficient condition for-contraction in a generalized Lurie system (GLS), that is, the feedback connection of a nonlinear dynamical system and a memoryless nonlinear …
