In this paper, Lyapunov stability and strong passivity are defined for nonlinear descriptor
systems. The new concepts facilitate the formulation of the relationship between the stability …

This paper aims to study the setting condition of downstream surge tank (SCDST) of
hydropower station with sloping ceiling tailrace tunnel (SCTT). Firstly, the mathematical …

The robustness analysis for a linear singular system with uncertain parameters and static
output feedback control is considered. The problem is transformed into a robust …

This paper investigates the critical stable sectional area (CSSA) of downstream surge tank
(DST) of hydropower plant with sloping ceiling tailrace tunnel (SCTT). Firstly, two types of …

The stability analysis for nonlinear differential-algebraic systems is addressed using tools
from classical control theory. Sufficient stability conditions relying on matrix inequalities are …

Singular systems are those the dynamics of which are governed by a mixture of algebraic
and differential equations. The complex nature of singular systems causes many difficulties …

Lur'e-type descriptor systems (LDS) described by a linear time-invariant descriptor system
with feedback-connected nonlinearities are considered. Firstly, the notion of generalized …

Practical stability is of significant practical importance in scientific and engineering problems
but less investigated for descriptor systems. In this paper, the concepts of practical stability …

Practical stability is of significant practical importance in scientific and engineering problems
