Stability results for nonlinear feedback systems

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents an approach towards deriving sufficient conditions for the stability of nonlinear feedback systems. The central features of the approach are twofold. Firstly, useful stability tests are obtained for the case when the subsystems have nonlinear dynamics; secondly, a unifying set of general stability criteria are given, from which known situations can be treated as special cases and new ones are handled with equal ease. The results are obtained by use of a recently developed theory of dissipative systems.
