\(\mathcal W\)-stability of multistable nonlinear discrete-time systems (Q764582)

Summary: Motivated by the importance and application of discrete dynamical systems, this paper presents a new Lyapunov characterization which is an extension of conventional Lyapunov characterization for multistable discrete-time nonlinear systems. Based on a new type stability notion of \(\mathcal W\)-stability introduced by \textit{D. Efimov}, [``On global Lyapunov characterization of multi-stable nonlinear systems'', in: Proceedings of the 48th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, Shanghai, China. 6299--6304 (2009)], estimates of solution and the Lyapunov stability theorem and converse theorem are proposed for multi-stable discrete-time nonlinear systems.
