DISCRETE-TIME NONLINEAR CONTROL 887
Next, we specialize Theorem 14.12 to nonlinear un certain systems of
the f orm
x(k + 1) = f

where f

+ ∆f ∈ F. Here, F is
such that
F ⊂ {f
0
+ ∆f : D → D : ∆f ∈ ∆},
where ∆ is a given nonlinear uncertainty set of nonlinear perturbations ∆f
of the n ominal system dynamics f
0
(·) ∈ F. Since F ⊂ {f : D → D : f(0) =
0} it follows that ∆f (0) = 0.
Corollary 14.10. Consider the n onlinear uncertain system given by
(14.244) with performance functional (14.233). Assume there exist functions
Γ : D → R, P

2f
: D → N

, and V : D → R such that V (·)
is continuous, (14.234), (14.235), (14.237), and (14.238) hold and

Then then the zero solution x(k) ≡ 0 of (14.244) is locally asymptotically
stable f or all ∆f(·) ∈ ∆ and there exists a neighborh ood D

origin such that the performance functional (14.233) satisfies

(14.244) is globally asymptotically stable for all ∆f(·) ∈ ∆.
Proof. The result is a direct consequence of T heorem 14.12 with
f(x) = f
0
(x) + ∆f (x) and V (f(x)) given by (14.247). Specifically, in this
case it follows from (14.246) and (14.247) that V (f(x)) ≤ V (f
0
(x)) + Γ(x)
for all x ∈ R
n
and ∆f(·) ∈ ∆. Hence, all conditions of Theorem 14.12 are
satisfied.
Having established the theoretical basis to our approach, we now give
a concrete structure for the bounding fun ction Γ(x) for the structure F as
specified by (11.23) with ∆ satisfying (11.24) and (11.27), respectively.
