Robust stability of uncertain impulsive dynamical systems. (Q1428242)

The authors consider uncertain impulsive dynamical systems of the form \[ \dot x=f(t,x)+g(t,x), \quad t\neq t_{k}, \] \[ x(t_{k}^{+})-x(t_{k}^{-})=I_{k}(x)+J_{k}(x), \quad t=t_{k}, k\in \mathbb{N}, \] where \(x\in \mathbb{R}^{n},\) \(t,g: \mathbb{R}_{+}\times \mathbb{R}^{n}\to \mathbb{R}^{n}.\) By introducing the concepts of uniformly positive definite matrix functions and Hamilton-Jacobi/Riccati inequalities, they prove several criteria on robust stability, robust asymptotic stability and robust exponential stability. An example is also presented to illustrate the applicability of their results.
