Abstract

Systems that show different characteristics, such as finite-gain and passivity, depending on the nature of the inputs, are said to possess mixed input-output properties. In this paper, we provide a constructive method for characterizing mixed input-output properties of nonlinear systems using a dissipativity framework. Our results take inspiration from the generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma, and show that a system is mixed if it is dissipative with respect to highly specialized supply rates. The mixed input-output characterization is used for assessing stability of feedback interconnections in which the feedback components violate conditions of classical results such as the small-gain and passivity theorem. We showcase applicability of our results through various examples.
