A system-theoretic framework for a wide class of systems II: Input-to-output stability

In this work characterizations of the notion of Weighted Input-to-Output Stability (WIOS) for a wide class of systems with disturbances are given. Particularly, for systems with continuous dependence of the solution on the initial state and the input, the WIOS property is shown to be equivalent to robust forward completeness from the input and robust global asymptotic output stability for the corresponding input-free system. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
