The usual passivity theorem considers a closed-loop, the direct chain of which consists of a strictly passive stable operator $H_{1}$, and the feedback chain of which consists of a passive operator $H_{2}$. Then the closed-loop is stable.…
We develop tools for investigation of input-to-state stability (ISS) of infinite-dimensional control systems. We show that for certain classes of admissible inputs the existence of an ISS-Lyapunov function implies the input-to-state…
The notions of asymptotic amplitude for signals, and Cauchy gain for input/output systems, and an associated small-gain principle, are introduced. These concepts allow the consideration of systems with multiple, and possibly…
