connection of G

Proof. Since G

is (Q

Now, using e

yields

The result now is an immediate consequence of Theorem 7.4.
7.6 Connections Between Input-Output Stability and
Lyapunov Stability
In this section, we provide connections between inpu t-output stability and
Lyapunov stability. Since Lyapunov stability theory deals with state space
dynamical systems we begin by considering nonlinear dynamical systems G
of the form
˙x(t) = F (x(t), u(t)), x(t
0
) = x
0
, t ≥ t
0
, (7.40)
y(t) = H(x(t), u(t)), (7.41)
where x(t) ∈ R
n
, u(t) ∈ R
m
, y(t) ∈ R
l
, F : R
n
× R
m
→ R
n
, and H :
R

× R
m
→ R
l
. For the dynamical system G given by (7.40) and (7.41)
defined on the state space R
n
, R
m
and R
l
define an input and output space,
respectively, consisting of continuous bounded functions on the semi-infinite
interval [0, ∞). The input and output spaces U and Y are assumed to be
closed un der the shift operator, that is, if u(·) ∈ U (respectively, y(·) ∈ Y),
then the function defined by u
T
△
= u(t + T ) (respectively, y
T
△
= y(t + T ))
is contained in U (respectively, Y) for all T ≥ 0. We assume that F (·, ·)
and H(·, ·) are continuously differentiable mappings in (x, u) and F (·, ·) has
at least one equilibrium so that, without loss of generality, F (0, 0) = 0 and
H(0, 0) = 0.
Theorem 7.6. Consider the n onlinear dynamical system G given by
(7.40) and (7.41). Assume that there exist a continuously differentiable
