Internal Stability: Notions and Characterizations

  • Chapter
Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems

Part of the book series: Communications and Control Engineering ((CCE))

  • 1963 Accesses

Abstract

Chapter 2 is devoted to the analysis of internal (mainly global) stability notions used in mathematical control and systems theory. The stability notions presented are developed in the system-theoretic framework described in Chapter 1 so that one can obtain a wide perspective of the role of stability in various classes of deterministic systems possibly subject to exogenous disturbances.
