The Small-Talk Effect in Practical Synchronization of Heterogeneous Oscillating Dynamics
Finn Voland, Vincent Schmidtke, Zonglin Liu +1
This paper investigates multi-time scale commu- nication schemes in synchronization of heterogeneous Lienard oscillator systems. Existing results rely on global exchange of informa…
Synthesis of Limit Cycles and Reference Tracking via Switching Affine Systems
Nils Hanke, Zonglin Liu, Olaf Stursberg
This paper introduces a novel method to approximate limit cycles of nonlinear ODEs by use of switching affine dynamics in order to ease data-based modeling and analysis. Previous a…
Contraction Analysis of Filippov Solutions in Multi-Modal Piecewise Smooth Systems
Zonglin Liu, Kyra Borchhardt, Olaf Stursberg
This paper provides conditions to ensure contractive behavior of Filippov solutions generated by multi-modal piecewise smooth (PWS) systems. These conditions are instrumental in an…
Using Seminorms To Analyze Contraction of Switched Systems With Only Non-Contracting Modes
Edwin Baum, Zonglin Liu, Yuzhen Qin +1
This paper investigates contraction properties of switched dynamical systems for the case that all modes are non-contracting, thereby extending existing results that require at lea…
