We present a dynamical theory of statistical convergence in which the law of large numbers arises from outcome-outcome feedback rather than assumed independence. Defining the convergence field and its derivative, we show that empirical…
Maximal monotonicity is explored as a generalization of the linear theory of passivity, aiming at an algorithmic input/output analysis of physical models. The theory is developed for maximal monotone one-port circuits, formed by the series…

The classical asymptotic gain (AG) is a concept known from the input-to-state stability theory. Given a uniform input bound, AG estimates the asymptotic bound of the output. Sometimes, however, more information is known about the input than…
