  • Abstract
    Finite regions of attraction of the origin are obtained for feedback systems involving a time-varying nonlinear feedback element. One type of region is found for cases in which the nonlinearity is well known in some given neighborhood of the origin, and another is determined for the more general cases in which the nonlinearity is only known to satisfy certain "sector conditions" in a similar given neighborhood.
