Global Output Stability for Systems Described by Retarded Functional Differential Equations: Lyapunov Characterizations

In this work characterizations of internal notions of output stability for uncertain time-varying systems described by retarded functional differential equations are provided. Particularly, characterizations by means of Lyapunov functionals of uniform and non-uniform in time Robust Global Asymptotic Output Stability are given. The results of this work have been developed for systems with outputs in abstract normed linear spaces in order to allow outputs with no delay, with discrete or distributed delay or functional outputs with memory.
