Consider a large discrete system as follows. \[ \begin{cases} x_i(\tau+1) =X_i \bigl(x_i (\tau), y_i(\tau), \tau\bigr) +A_i \bigl(x_1 (\tau), y_1(\tau); \cdots; x_m(\tau), y_m(\tau); \tau \bigr), \\ y_i(\tau+1) =Y_i \bigl(x_i(\tau), y_i(\tau), \tau\bigr) +B_i \bigl(x_1(\tau), y_1(\tau); \cdots; x_m(\tau), y_m(\tau); \tau\bigr),\;i=1, \dots, m, \end{cases} \] where \(\tau\in I= [\tau_0, \tau_0+1, \dots)\), \(\tau_0>0\), \(x_i\in R^{k_i}\), \(y_i\in R^{l_i}\), \(X_i:R^{k_i} \times R^{l_i} \times I\to R^{k_i}\), \(Y_i:R^{k_i} \times R^{l_i} \times I\to R^{l_i}\), \(A_i: (\prod^m_{s=1} (R^{k_s} \times R^{l_s})) \times I\to R^{k_i}\), \(B_i: (\prod^m_{s=1} (R^{k_s} \times R^{l_s})) \times I\to R^{l_i}\). For this system, one can discuss connective set-stability with respect to the partial variable \(x=(x_1, \dots, x_m)\). This paper uses a Lyapunov function approach to give some sufficient conditions for connective set-stability.
