Localizing sets for invariant compact sets of discrete dynamical systems with perturbation and control (Q2251811)

Localization problems for dynamical systems are aimed at estimation in the system state space that contains all the bounded trajectories of the system, and in particular at the construction of domains that contain all invariant compact sets. The author of this paper developed the ``functional method'' to solve localization problems, and has applied it in several previous papers. Here he extends the method to discrete dynamical systems containing both a perturbation and a control, and so has the form \[ x_{n+1}= F(x_n,u_n,w_n), \] where \(x_n\in X\subset\mathbb{R}^n\), \(u_n\in U\subset\mathbb{R}^p\), \(w_n\in W\subset\mathbb{R}^q\), \(X\) is the state space, \(U\) is the set of admissible controls, \(W\) is the set of perturbation values, and \(F: X\times U\times W\to X\) is a mapping continuous on \(X\) for any given \(u\in U\) and \(w\in W\). The paper proceeds by describing the main properties of the corresponding localizing sets.
