Gil, Michael Absolute and input-to-state stabilities of nonautonomous systems with causal mappings. (English) Zbl 1185.34103 Dyn. Syst. Appl. 18, No. 3-4, 655-666 (2009). Summary: We consider systems governed by the scalar equation\[ \sum^n_{k=0}a_k(t)x^{(n-k)}(t)=[Fx](t)\quad (t\geq 0), \]where \(a_0\equiv 1\); \(a_k(t)\) \((k=1,\dots,n)\) are positive continuous functions and \(F\) is a causal mapping. We also consider the case when \(F\) depends on the input. Such equations include differential, integrodifferential and other traditional equations. It is assumed that all the roots \(\tau_k(t)\) \((k=1,\dots,n)\) of the polynomial \(z^n+a_1(t)z^{n-1}+\cdots+a_n(t)\) are real and negative for all \(t\geq 0\). Exact explicit conditions for the absolute and input-to-state stabilities of the considered systems are established.
