Smooth Output-to-State Stability for multistable systems on compact manifolds

Abstract

Output-to-State Stability (OSS) is a notion of detectability for nonlinear systems that is formulated in the ISS framework. We generalize the notion of OSS for systems which possess a decomposable invariant set and evolve on compact manifolds. Building upon a recent extension of the ISS theory for this very class of [systems [D. Angeli and D. Efimov, IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 60 (2015) 3242–3256.], the paper provides equivalent characterizations of the OSS property in terms of asymptotic estimates of the state trajectories and, in particular, in terms of existence of smooth Lyapunov-like functions.
