Overflow stability of n-order state space digital filters (Q803098)

Some new results concerning the stability and existence of limit cycles for n-order state space digital filters with two's complement overflow arithmetic are established in this paper. For these digital filters, conditions for asymptotic stability and a description of the structure and conditions for the existence of limit cycles of period s, \(s\geq 1\) are presented. In addition, conditions for the filter to converge to a limit cycle are established. The stability of a class of n-order state space digital filtes with nonzero input is studied. Several examples illustrating the results are included.
