Abstract :
This paper deals with several notions of incremental stability. In other words, we focus on the stability of trajectories with respect to one another, rather than with respect some attractor or equilibrium point. The aim is to present a framework for understanding such questions fully compatible with the well-known input-to-state stability approach
