DISCRETE-TIME THEORY 829
which implies that the negative feedback interconnection of G and G
c
is
Lyapunov stable. Now, the proof of global asymptotic stability of the closed-
loop system is identical to that of the continuous-time case given in Theorem
6.2 and, hence, is omitted.
The following corollaries are a direct consequence of Theorem 13.33.
For both results note that if a nonlinear dynamical system G is dissipative
(respectively, geometrically d iss ipative) with respect to a supply rate
r(u, y) = u

k ∈ R is such that k(1 − εk) < ˆε, r(u, y) = [k(1 − εk) − ˆε]y

y < 0, y 6= 0.
Hence, if G is zero-state observable it follows from Theorem 13.21 that all
storage functions (respectively, geometrically storage functions) of G are
positive definite. For the next result, we assume that all storage functions
of G and G
c
are continuous.
Corollary 13.16. Consider the closed-loop system consisting of the
nonlinear d ynamical systems G given by (13.223) and (13.224) and G
c
given
by (13.225) and (13.226), and assume G and G
c
are zero-state observable.
Then the following statements hold:
i) I f G is passive, G
c
is geometrically passive, and rank[G
c
(u
c
, 0)] = m,
u
c

l
, th en the negative feedback interconnection of G and G
c
is
asymptotically stable.
ii) If G and G
c
are geometrically passive with storage fun ctions V
s
(·) and
V
sc
(·), respectively, such that (13.227) and (13.228) hold, then the
negative feedback interconnection of G and G
c
is geometrically stable.
iii) If G is nonexpansive with gain γ > 0, G
c
is geometrically nonexpansive
with gain γ
c
> 0, rank[G
c
(u
c
, 0)] = m, and γγ
c
≤ 1, then the negative
feedback interconnection of G and G
c
is asymptotically stable.
iv) If G and G
c
are geometrically nonexpansive with storage functions
V
s
(·) and V
sc
(·), respectively, such that (13.227) and (13.228) hold,
with gains γ > 0 and γ
c
> 0, respectively, such that γγ
c
≤ 1, then the
negative feedback interconnection of G and G
c
is geometrically stable.
v) If G is passive and G
c
is inpu t-output strict passive then the negative
feedback interconnection of G and G
c
is asymptotically stable.
vi) If G and G
c
are input strict passive th en the negative feedback
interconnection of G and G
c
is asymptotically stable.
vii) If G and G
c
are output strict passive then the negative feedback
interconnection of G and G
c
is asymptotically stable.
