Objectives
1) To give constructive criteria for larger classes of complex systems and networks (especially including hybrid dynamics) which exploit system structure; 2) To study the ISS approach as an intersection of state-space based and input-output based approaches and clarify connections more closely with these theories (and the dissipativity framework which includes them both); 3) In particular, based on some recent results by the CI with B. Liu, to study Razumikhin theory as a general way to deal with complexities (not just time-delays); 4) Study application classes of network systems including so-called oscillator networks and simplified power networks (with connectivity and hybrid dynamics).
