A notion of "asymptotic Cauchy gain" for input/output systems, and an associated small-gain principle, are introduced. A Lyapunov-like characterization allows the computation of these gains for state-space systems, and the formulation of…
Synchronizability of stable, output-coupled, identical, time-varying linear systems is studied. It is shown that if the observability grammian satisfies a persistence of excitation condition, then there exists a bounded, time-varying linear…
