  • Abstract
    Consider two feedback systems with identical plants. System L has a time-varying linear gain and system N has a time-varying nonlinear gain; both gains satisfy the same sector condition. The absolute stability of L implies that of N in the case of stability in the sense of Lagrange and quasi-asymptotic stability in the large; the implication does not hold in the case of stability in the sense of Lyapunov, as is shown by an example.
