Abstract

The project aims to finance a short visit of Pro. Chávez to ICMC USP to continue an ongoing research in collaboration with EESC USP, as well as to develop other research activities including lectures and possible participation in the program summer at ICMC. The research involves analysis of the stability of descriptor systems with jumps and calculus of metrics of performance of controlled systems. During this period we intend to finalize a paper under review and develop stability results employing Lyapunov-type matrix equations. (AU)
