Exponential stability and boundedness of nonlinear perturbed systems by unbounded perturbation terms

Abstract

We study the exponential stability and boundedness problem for perturbed nonlinear time-varying systems using Lyapunov Functions with indefinite derivatives. As the limiting function for the perturbation term, we use different forms and give stability and boundedness conditions in terms of the coefficients in these bounds. Contrary to most of the available conditions, we allow the coefficients to be unbounded. But instead, we put forward a condition that requires a series produced by coefficients to be limited and exponentially decaying. We perform our results on Linear time-varying systems and generalize many of the available results.
