            Abstract : 
We announce a new global small-gain theorem for feedback interconnections of monotone input-output systems with multi-valued input-state characteristics. This extends a small-gain theorem of Angeli and Sontag for monotone systems with singleton-valued characteristics. The proof of our theorem is based on Thieme’s convergence theory for asymptotically autonomous systems. We also provide an illustrative example.
