Asymptotic Lyapunov stability with probability one of quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems with delayed feedback control
The asymptotic Lyapunov stability with probability one of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) quasi-integrable and nonresonant Hamiltonian systems with time-delayed feedback control subject to multiplicative (parametric) excitation of Gaussian white noise is studied. First, the time-delayed feedback control forces are expressed approximately in terms of the system state variables without time delay and the system is converted into ordinary quasi-integrable and nonresonant Hamiltonian system. Then, the averaged Ito stochastic differential equations are derived by using the stochastic averaging method for quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems and the expression for the largest Lyapunov exponent of the linearized averaged Ito equations is derived. Finally, the necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic Lyapunov stability with probability one of the trivial solution of the original system is obtained approximately by letting the largest Lyapunov exponent to be negative. An example is worked out in detail to illustrate the above mentioned procedure and its validity and to show the effect of the time delay in feedback control on the largest Lyapunov exponent and the stability of the system.
