Abstract
A nonlinear version of Halanay's inequality is studied in this paper as a sufficient condition for the convergence of functions to the origin, uniformly with respect to bounded sets of initial values. The same result is provided in the case of forcing terms, for the uniform convergence to suitable neighborhoods of the origin. Related Lyapunov methods for the global uniform asymptotic stability and the input-to-state stability of systems described by retarded functional differential equations, with possibly nonconstant time delays, are provided. The relationship with the Razumikhin methodology is shown.
期刊介绍:
MCRF aims to publish original research as well as expository papers on mathematical control theory and related fields. The goal is to provide a complete and reliable source of mathematical methods and results in this field. The journal will also accept papers from some related fields such as differential equations, functional analysis, probability theory and stochastic analysis, inverse problems, optimization, numerical computation, mathematical finance, information theory, game theory, system theory, etc., provided that they have some intrinsic connections with control theory.
