  • Abstract
    A class of multipliers that can be used for producing alternative stability tests for systems having a single incrementally conic nonlinearity f(x) has been nearly parameterized by Zames and Falb [1]. The present note demonstrates how linear programming can be used to compute optimal multipliers leading to a frequency domain stability criterion that is less conservative than the standard graphical criteria.
