A characterization of integral input-to-state stability
The notion of input-to-state stability (ISS) is now recognized as a central concept in nonlinear systems analysis. It provides a nonlinear generalization of finite gains with respect to supremum norms and also of finite L-2 gains. It plays a central role in recursive design, coprime factorizations, controllers for nonminimum phase systems, and many other areas. In this paper, a newer notion, that of integral input-to-state stability (iISS), is studied. The notion of iISS generalizes the concept of finite gain when using an integral norm on inputs but supremum norms of states, in that sense generalizing the linear "H-2" theory. It allows one to quantify sensitivity even in the presence of certain forms of nonlinear resonance. We obtain here several necessary and sufficient characterizations of the iISS property, expressed in terms of dissipation inequalities and other alternative and nontrivial characterizations. These characterizations serve to show that integral input-to-state stability is a most natural concept, one that might eventually play a role at least comparable to, if not even more important than, ISS.
