Small-gain theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In nonlinear systems, the formalism of input-output stability is an important tool in studying the stability of interconnected systems since the gain of a system directly relates to how the norm of a signal increases or decreases as it passes through the system. The small-gain theorem gives a sufficient condition for finite-gain \mathcal{L} stability of the feedback connection.
