We consider interconnected nonlinear systems with external inputs, where each of the subsystems is assumed to be input-to-state stable (ISS). Sufficient conditions of small gain type are provided guaranteeing that the interconnection is ISS…
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…
A small-gain approach is proposed to analyze closed-loop stability of linear diffusion-reaction systems under finite-dimensional observer-based state feedback control. For this, the decomposition of the infinite-dimensional system into a…
Given two nonlinear systems which only violate incremental passivity when their incremental gains are sufficiently small, we give a condition for their negative feedback interconnection to have finite incremental gain, which generalizes the…
We introduce the concept of non-uniform input-to-state stability for networks. It combines the uniform global stability with the uniform attractivity of any subnetwork, while it allows for non-uniform convergence of all components. For an…
Small-gain conditions used in analysis of feedback interconnections are contraction conditions which imply certain stability properties. Such conditions are applied to a finite or infinite interval. In this paper we consider the case, when…

We provide a generalized version of the nonlinear small-gain theorem for the case of more than two coupled input-to-state stable (ISS) systems. For this result the interconnection gains are described in a nonlinear gain matrix and the…
We consider infinite heterogeneous networks, consisting of input-to-state stable subsystems of possibly infinite dimension. We show that the network is input-to-state stable, provided that the gain operator satisfies a certain small-gain…
