Performance limitations in reference tracking and path following for nonlinear systems
We investigate limits of performance in reference-tracking and path-following and highlight an essential difference between them. For a class of nonlinear systems, we show that in...

A globally convergent inexact Newton method with a new choice for the forcing term
In inexact Newton methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations, an approximation to the step sk of the Newton's system J(xk)s = -F(xk) is found. This means that sk must...

On Steepest-Descent-Kaczmarz methods for regularizing systems of nonlinear ill-posed equations
We investigate modified steepest descent methods coupled with a loping Kaczmarz strategy for obtaining stable solutions of nonlinear systems of ill-posed operator equations. We sh...

Towards Procedures for Systematically Deriving Hybrid Models of Complex Systems
Abstract. In many cases, complex system behaviors are naturally modeled as nonlinear differential equations. However, these equations are often hard to analyze because of "sti...

Stability of quantized time-delay nonlinear systems: A Lyapunov-Krasowskii-functional approach
Lyapunov-Krasowskii functionals are used to design quantized continuous-time control laws for nonlinear systems in the presence of time-invariant pointwise delays in the input. Th...
