Abstract

New trajectory-based small-gain results are obtained for nonlinear feedback systems under relaxed assumptions. Specifically, during a transient period, the solutions of the feedback system may not satisfy some key inequalities that previous small-gain results usually utilize to prove stability properties. The results allow the application of the small-gain perspective to various systems which satisfy less demanding stability notions than the Input-to-Output Stability property. The robust global feedback stabilization problem of an uncertain time-delayed chemostat model is solved by means of the trajectory-based small-gain results.
