Exponential feedback passivity and stabilizability of nonlinear systems (Q1295056)

Consider the system \[ \dot x=f(x)+g(x)u\qquad y=h(x) \] where \(f\), \(g\), \(h\) are \(C^1\), with the feedback \[ u =\alpha(x)+\beta(y)v. \] Besides the usual passivity property, exponential passivity, exponential minimum phase and output exponential feedback passivity are introduced, in accordance with some classical Lyapunov type results of Krasovskij. Equivalence of these properties is given together with analogous results and concepts for the linear case.
