A GENERALIZATION OF SMOOTH CHUA'S EQUATIONS UNDER LAGRANGE STABILITY
Abstract
In this paper, smooth Chua's equation is generalized to a higher order system from a special viewpoint of interconnected systems. Simple conditions for Lagrange stability are established. And a detailed Lagrange stable region analysis is given for the canonical Chua's oscillator. In addition, a new nonlinearly coupled Chua's circuit that appeared in the recent literature is also discussed and a Lagrange stability condition is presented. Several examples are presented to illustrate the results.
