String stability of interconnected systems
Abstract
Introduces the notion of string stability of a countably infinite interconnection of a class of nonlinear systems. Intuitively, string stability implies uniform boundedness of all the states of the interconnected system for all time if the initial states of the interconnected system are uniformly bounded. It is well known that the input output gain of all the subsystems less than unity guarantees that the interconnected system is input-output stable. The authors derive sufficient ("weak coupling") conditions which guarantee the asymptotic string stability of a class of interconnected systems. Under the same "weak coupling" conditions, string-stable interconnected systems remain string stable in the presence of small structural/singular perturbations. In the presence of parameter mismatch, these "weak coupling" conditions ensure that the states of all the subsystems are all uniformly bounded when a gradient-based parameter adaptation law is used and that the states of all the systems go to zero asymptotically.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
