    Changing supply functions in ISS systems: The discrete time case
    NESIC, D ; TEEL, AR (IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 2001)
    We characterize possible supply rates for input-to-state stable discrete-time systems and provide results that allow some freedom in modifying the supply rates. In particular, we show that the results derived by Sontag and Teel (1995) for continuous-time systems are achievable for discrete-time systems.

    Input-to-state stability for nonlinear time-varying systems via averaging
    Nesic, D ; Teel, AR (SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2001)
    We introduce two definitions of an averaged system for a time-varying ordinary differential equation with exogenous disturbances ("strong average" and "weak average"). The class of systems for which the strong average exists is shown to be strictly smaller than the class of systems for which the weak average exists. It is shown that input-to-state stability (ISS) of the strong average of a system implies uniform semi-global practical ISS of the actual system. This result generalizes the result of [TPA] which states that global asymptotic stability of the averaged system implies uniform semi-global practical stability of the actual system. On the other hand, we illustrate by an example that ISS of the weak average of a system does not necessarily imply uniform semi-global practical ISS of the actual system. However, ISS of the weak average of a system does imply a weaker semi-global practical "ISS-like" property for the actual system when the disturbances w are absolutely continuous and w, ẇ ∈ L∞. ISS of the weak average of a system is shown to be useful in a stability analysis of time-varying cascaded systems.

    Changing supply functions in input to state stable systems: The discrete-time case
    Nesic, D ; Teel, AR (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2001-06)
    Supply rates for input-to-state stable (ISS) discrete-time systems is characterized and results are presented to modify the supply rates. It is shown that the results reported for continuous-time systems are achievable for discrete time systems. Determination of a Lyapunov function for a composite system is important.

    Power characterizations of input-to-state stability and integral input-to-state stability
    Angeli, D ; Nesic, D (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2001-08)
    New notions of external stability for nonlinear systems are introduced, making use of average powers as signal norms and comparison functions as in the input-to-state stability (ISS) framework. Several new characterizations of ISS and integral ISS are presented in terms of the new notions. An example is discussed to illustrate differences and similarities of the newly introduced properties.

    A note on input-to-state stability and averaging of systems with inputs
    Nesic, D ; Dower, PM (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2001-11)
    Two different definitions of an average for time-varying systems with inputs and a small parameter that were recently introduction in the literature are considered: "strong" and "weak" averages. It is shown that if the strong average is input-to-state stable (ISS), then the solutions of the actual system satisfy an integral bound in a semiglobal practical sense. The integral bound that we prove can be viewed as a generalization of the notion of finite-gain L2 stability, that was recently introduced in the literature. A similar result is proved for weak averages but the class of inputs for which the integral bound holds is smaller (Lipschitz inputs) than in the case of strong averages (measurable inputs).

    Performance analysis of periodic control for l1 and l∞ disturbance rejection
    Schmid, R ; Zhang, C (Wiley, 2001-01-01)
    ABSTRACT This paper presents a performance analysis of discrete time periodically time varying controllers for the rejection of lp specific and uniform disturbances. Earlier results on l2 performance are extended to l1 and l∞ performance to present a unified treatment of lp performance for all p ε [1, ∞]. For a given linear time varying periodic controller, a linear time invariant controller is constructed and necessary and sufficient conditions are presented under which the linear time invariant controller gives strictly better lp disturbance rejection performance than the time varying periodic controller.
