Abstract :
This paper describes simple sufficient conditions for stability and instability of interconnected systems in terms of the properties of the subsystems and of the interconnections. The central theme is the notion of "dissipativeness" of the subsystems-a property which includes finite gain, passivity, conicity, and some other variants as special cases.
