Lyapunov Stability of Two-Dimensional Digital Filters with Overflow Nonlinearities - Circuits and Systems I: Fundamental Theory and Applications, IEEE Transactions on

In this short paper, the second method of Lyapunov is utilized to establish sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the trivial solution of zero-input two-dimensional (2-D) Fornasini–Marchesini state-space digital filters which are endowed with a general class of overflow nonlinearities. Results for the global asymptotic stability of the null solution of the 2-D Fornasini–Marchesini second model with overflow nonlinearities are established. Several classes of Lyapunov functions are used in establishing the present results, including vector norms and the quadratic form. When the quadratic form Lyapunov functions are considered, the present results involve necessary and sufficient conditions under which positive definite matrices can be used to generate Lyapunov functions for 2-D digital filters with overflow nonlinearities.
