Novel criterion for stability of discrete-time systems in a state-space realization utilizing saturation nonlinearities

摘要

A new criterion for the global asymptotic stability of discrete-time systems in a state-space realization utilizing saturation nonlinearities is presented. The form of the criterion is unconventional in that it offers the flexibility of using even an unsymmetric Lyapunov matrix P. A recently reported criterion is shown to be a special case of the present criterion. An example shows the effectiveness of the new criterion.
