On the absolute stability of nonlinear control systems

Sufficient conditions for the absolute stability of a class of nonlinear sampled-data systems are derived using the techniques of system transformations due to Aizerman and Gantmacher. These criteria are based on different forms used to approximate the area under the nonlinear characteristic. It is...
