Abstract :
A unified approach for constructing strictly passive systems has been proposed by Feng and Fei (1999). However, we have found that contradictory cases exist and additional prerequisites might be required for the proofs of the lemmas. Illustrations and proofs are provided in this paper to act as counterexamples.
