Partial Semi-Stability for a Class of Nonlinear Systems

Abstract This paper studies partial semi-stability for a class of non-linear systems. The system is sufficiently specialised to yield an algebraic test relying on the data A and ∑, describing the dynamics of part of the state of the system and its initial condition. Comments on the applicability of the result to the study of stability properties of Kalman filters are included.
