Abstract: This work explores Lyapunov characterizations of the input-output-to-state stability (IOSS) property for nonlinear systems. The notion of IOSS is a natural generalization of the standard zero-detectability property used in the linear case. The main contribution of this work is to establish a complete equivalence between the input-output-to-state stability property and the existence of a certain type of smooth Lyapunov function. As corollaries, one shows the existence of ``norm-estimators, and obtains characterizations of nonlinear detectability in terms of relative stability and of finite-energy estimates.


The authors study finite-dimensional, nonlinear systems of the form \[ \dot x= f(x,u,w),\quad y= h(x), \] where \(u\) denotes a control input, and \(w\) denotes a disturbance which takes value on a compact convex set. The main result states that the following three facts are equivalent. 1) Uniform input-output-to-state stability (UIOSS). It means that the norm of the state variable can be majorized at every instant \(t\) by suitable functions of the initial state, of the past control and of the past output. This is interpreted as a detectability property. 2) Existence of a positive definite, proper function \(V\) solving an appropriate dissipation inequality (characterization in terms of Lyapunov functions). 3) Existence of a state norm-estimator (observer). The paper deals with other related properties such as integral-to-integral IOSS and global asymptotic stability modulo output.
