Abstract
We present a new approach to verifying contraction and $L_2$-gain of uncertain nonlinear systems, extending the well-known method of integral quadratic constraints. The uncertain system consists of a feedback interconnection of a nonlinear nominal system and uncertainties satisfying differential integral quadratic constraints. A pointwise linear matrix inequality condition is formulated to verify the closed-loop differential $ L_2 $ gain, which can lead to global reference-independent $ L_2 $ gain performance of the nonlinear uncertain system. For a polynomial nominal system, the convex verification conditions can be solved via sum-of-squares programming. A simple computational example based on jet-engine surge with input delays illustrates the approach.
