Implications of passivity in a class of nonlinear systems

For a broad class of nonlinear systems, a connection is established between the input-output property of passivity and a set of constraints on the state equations of the system. These constraints are then interpreted in terms of the stored energy and dissipation of a passive system. Applications are given in two problems of optimal control theory, and a generalized form of the circle criterion is also derived.
