Stability analysis of quasilinear uncertain dynamical systems (Q933577)

The authors consider systems of the form \[ \dot z= Pz+ Q(z,w,\alpha),\qquad\dot w= Hw+ G(z,w,\alpha), \] where \(P\), \(H\) are diagonalizable real matrices and \(Q\), \(G\) contain only terms of order \(\geq 2\) in their Taylor expansion with respect to \(z\), \(w\). The vector \(\alpha\) represents the uncertain parameter. After a preliminary change of variables of polar type, the authors study the uniform asymptotic stability problem with respect to a moving set \({\mathcal A}\) (depending on \(\alpha\)). The theorem applies in particular to oscillatory systems and Hamiltonian systems.
