Input-to-State Stability Implications in Contraction Theory

Yu Kawano, Francesco Bullo

For nonlinear control systems on normed vector spaces, we characterize an incremental input-to-state stability (ISS) type property in which the overshoot constant multiplies both t…

Contraction Analysis of Time-Delay Systems

Rintaro Watanabe, Yu Kawano

In this paper, we investigate contraction analysis for nonlinear time-delay systems described by functional differential equations. We first extend the concept of Lyapunov-Krasovsk…

A Nonlinear Separation Principle via Contraction Theory: Applications to Neural Networks, Control, and Learning

Anand Gokhale, Anton V. Proskurnikov, Yu Kawano +1

This paper establishes a nonlinear separation principle based on contraction theory and derives sharp stability conditions for recurrent neural networks (RNNs). First, we introduce…

Contracting Neural Networks: Sharp LMI Conditions with Applications to Integral Control and Deep Learning

Anand Gokhale, Anton V. Proskurnikov, Yu Kawano +1

This paper studies contractivity of firing-rate and Hopfield recurrent neural networks. We derive sharp LMI conditions on the synaptic matrices that characterize contractivity of b…

Krasovskii Passivity for Sampled-data Stabilization and Output Consensus

Yu Kawano, Alessio Moreschini, Michele Cucuzzella

In this paper, we establish the novel concept of Krasovskii passivity for sampled discrete-time nonlinear systems, enabling Krasovskii-passivity-based control design under sampling…

An LMI Framework for Contraction-based Nonlinear Control Design by Derivatives of Gaussian Process Regression

Yu Kawano, Kenji Kashima

Contraction theory formulates the analysis of nonlinear systems in terms of Jacobian matrices. Although this provides the potential to develop a linear matrix inequality (LMI) fram…

Contraction Analysis of Discrete-time Stochastic Systems

Yu Kawano, Yohei Hosoe

In this paper, we develop a novel contraction framework for stability analysis of discrete-time nonlinear systems with parameters following stochastic processes. For general stocha…
