Contraction Theory for Dynamical Systems on Hilbert Spaces
Pedro Cisneros-Velarde, Saber Jafarpour, Francesco Bullo
Contraction theory for dynamical systems on Euclidean spaces is well-established. For contractive (resp. semi-contractive) systems, the distance (resp. semi-distance) between any t…
Weak and Semi-Contraction for Network Systems and Diffusively-Coupled Oscillators
Saber Jafarpour, Pedro Cisneros-Velarde, Francesco Bullo
We develop two generalizations of contraction theory, namely, semi-contraction and weak-contraction theory. First, using the notion of semi-norm, we propose a geometric framework f…
Topology Inference with Multivariate Cumulants: The Möbius Inference Algorithm
Kevin D. Smith, Saber Jafarpour, Ananthram Swami +1
Many tasks regarding the monitoring, management, and design of communication networks rely on knowledge of the routing topology. However, the standard approach to topology mapping-…
Distributed and time-varying primal-dual dynamics via contraction analysis
Pedro Cisneros-Velarde, Saber Jafarpour, Francesco Bullo
In this note, we provide an overarching analysis of primal-dual dynamics associated to linear equality-constrained optimization problems using contraction analysis. For the well-kn…
