Stability - Theory, Tests and Performance Bounds.

This chapter presents the stability theory for the Banach space based abstract model of Definition 1.2.1, together with the results of applying it to the various forms of differential and discrete linear repetitive processes introduced in the previous chapter. Also the question of testing the resulting stability conditions is addressed by a number of routes. These lead in most cases to computationally feasible tests and, in one case of applications interest, computable bounds on expected performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
