Piecewise Linear Control Systems
This thesis treats analysis and design of piecewise linear control systems. Piecewise linear systems capture many of the most common nonlinearities in engineering systems, and they can also be used for approximation of other nonlinear systems. Several aspects of linear systems with quadratic …

Maps of intervals with indifferent fixed points: thermodynamic formalism and phase transitions
… interval with indifferent fixed points. For such systems the formalism yields one-dimensional systems with many-body infinite range interactions for which the thermodynamics is well defined while the Gibbs states are not. (Piecewise linear systems of this kind yield the soluble, in a sense, Fisher …

Constructive global analysis of hybrid systems
Many systems of interest are dynamic systems whose behavior is determined by the interaction of continuous and discrete dynamics. These systems typically contain variables or signals that take values from a continuous set and also variables that take values from a discrete, typically finite set. …

Analysis and synthesis techniques of nonlinear dynamical systems with applications to diagnostic of controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors
Nonlinear dynamical systems are of wide interest to engineers, physicists and mathematicians, and this is due to the fact that most of physical systems in nature are inherently non-linear. The nonlinearity of these systems has consequences on their time-evolution, which in some cases can be …

Some Extensions of Poincaré-Bendixson Theory Applied to a Resonant Converter.
In this thesis existence and uniqueness of limit cycles are shown for a resonant converter, by extending Poincaré-Bendixson theory to non-smooth vector fields. We discuss relevant control theory and the role of simulations.
