Abstract

This paper presents a generalization of the nonlinear small-gain theorem for large-scale complex systems consisting of multiple input-to-output stable systems. It includes as a special case the previous nonlinear small-gain theorems with two interconnected systems, and recent small-gain theorems for networks of input-to-state stable subsystems. It is expected that this new small-gain theorem will find wide applications in the analysis and control synthesis of large-scale complex systems.
