  • Abstract
    Stability of nonlinear 2D continuous-discrete systems is shown using Lyapunov stability theory and iISS. The proposed stability conditions are applicable with non-positive divergence of the Lyapunov function. The results are used to rigorously prove string stability of a nonlinear vehicle string with variable time headway.
