Exponential input-to-state stability for Lur’e systems via Integral Quadratic Constraints and Zames–Falb multipliers

Abstract

Abstract Absolute stability criteria that are sufficient for global exponential stability are shown, under a Lipschitz assumption, to be sufficient for the a priori stronger exponential input-to-state stability property. Important corollaries of this result are as follows: (i) absolute stability results obtained using Zames–Falb multipliers for systems containing slope-restricted nonlinearities provide exponential input-to-state-stability under a mild detectability assumption; and (ii) more generally, many absolute stability results obtained via Integral Quadratic Constraint methods provide, with the additional Lipschitz assumption, this stronger property.
