Parametric analysis for a nonlinear system
This paper is devoted to the parametric analysis of nonlinear systems, for instance of the system \(\dot x_1=-x_1^3-2x_1x_2^2-2.5x_1^2x_2x_3^2+x_3^6\), \(\dot x_2=-x_1^2x_2-2x_2^3+x_1^3x_3^2+(1/2)x_3^6\), \(\dot x_3=2x_1^3x_2x_3+(2x_1+x_2)x_3^5-sx_3^7\), where \(s\) is a real control parameter. The author considers the problem of finding the largest set of values of \(s\) for which the trivial solution is asymptotically stable. Such systems arise in some problems of mechanics, e.g. by the study of rolling of a three-wheel vehicle, with a controlled forward wheel, in contact with absolutely rough horizontal surface. In accordance with the Lyapunov's theorem on asymptotic stability, the author considers the negative definite quadratic form \(V(x)=(-1/2)(x_1^2+ax_2^2+bx_3^2)\). The coefficients \(a\) and \(b\) are determined from the conditions of asymptotic stability of the trivial solution of the considered system. In order to obtain asymptotic stability of trivial solution of nonuniform system with \(n+1\) variables with quadratic form \(V(x)=V_{2m}(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n)+V_{\ast }(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{n+1})\), \(m,n\geq 1\) are integer and \(x\in R^{n+1}\), the author imposes the requirement \(\dot V(x)\gg 0\). Here \(V_{2m}(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n)\) is a positive uniform structure with respect to its variables, and \(V_{\ast }(x)\) is a polynomial of degree higher than \(2m\). The main result is the existence of two positive parameters \(a\) and \(b\) such that the domain \(S\) of values of \(s\) is the largest one. The author uses personal computer for obtaining expressions for first- and second-order derivatives of some functions, and for solving analytically some algebraic equations and systems.
