Problem 2
The feedback control system shown below represents a control system where
H(s) is the (scalar) transfer function of the plant and the inner loop models the
actuator. Let
And suppose that k >= 0 and ϕ belong to a sector (0, β), where β could be
arbitrarily large, but finite.

a) Show that the system can be represented as the feedback connection of Figure
below with G(s) = [H(s) + k]/s.
b) Using version of Popov criterion which shown below, find a lower bound kc ,
such that the system is absolutely stable for all k > kc
where η = 1/2
Solution
a) To show that the closed-feedback system, we use the rules of reduction. The
system with transfer function and nonlinearity is shown below:
b) By using a version of the Popov Criterion, we can find a lower bound such that
the system is absolutely stable. After substitution and some manipulations we have:
1
k > − s+6+k(s+2)(s+3)
(s+2)(s+3)s

Problem 3
Consider the servo system in Figure below.Introduce state variables x1 and x2
as indicated in the figure.
Assume that the reference value is zero. The system equations can then be
written as
Let the nonlinearity be in the form g(e) = e3 and investigate the stability of the
closed loop system.
Solution
Krasovskii method:
1) F (x) = ∇f (x)
F ∗ (x) = F T (x)
2) F − (x) = F (x) + F ∗ (x)
3) If F − (x) < 0, then find V (x), else this method is not suitable
4) V ′ (x) < 0 (optional)
Next, we will move according
to that algorithm:
0 1
1) F =
3k(−x1)2 −1
0 3k(−x1)2
T
F =
1 −1
3k(−x1)2 + 1
− 0
2) F =
3k(−x1)2 + 1 −2
−
3) Check whether F (x) is negative definite
We see that the system is asymptotically stable only at one point and this point is
the origin or (0, 0)
Problem 4
Consider the system
where h is continuously differentiable and zh(z) > 0 for all z! = 0. Using the
6
variable gradient, find a Lyapunov function that shows that the origin is globally
asymptotically stable.
Solution
The variable gradient method:
1) Define ∇Vn
2) V ′ = (∇V )T ∗ x′
3) V ′ < 0
4) Use n(n−1)
2 to find remained coefficients
5) Recheck V ′ < 0
6) Integrate to find the Lyapunov function
Next, we(will move according to that algorithm:
a11 x1 + a12 x2
1) ∆ =
a21 x1 + a22 x2
′
= x1 x2 (a11 − a21 − a21 h − a22 h − a22 ) − x21 (a21 + a21 h) + x2 (a12 − a22 − a22 h)
2) V
a11 − a21 − a21 h − a22 h − a22 = 0
3) a21 + a21 h > 0
a12 − a22 − a22 h < 0
After substitutions,
( we have:
(3 + 3h)x1 + a12 x2
∆V =
x1 + 2x2
4) To find a12 , we use the given formula n(n−1)
2 = 1 so:
d∆V1 d∆V2
dx2 = dx1 calculations shows that a12 = 1 and a11 = 3 + 3h
(
(3 + 3h)x1 + x2
So: ∆V =
x1 + 2x2
′
5) V = −x21 (1 + h) − x22 (1 + 2h) is negative definite because zh(z) > 0
Rx R x ,x =0 R x ,x =x1
6) V = 0 ∆V T dx = 0 1 2 ((3 + 3h)x1 + x2 )dx1 + 0 1 2 (x1 + 2x2 )dx2
3x21 +3x21 +2x1 x2 +2x22
V = 2 is positive definite.
The Lyapunov function satisfies the given conditions, so the system is asymptotically
stable.
